Our Recommendations of reliable
Inexpensive Minimalist Motorscooters -- Best Prices on the Net -- from $699

See also: Stand-up/Sit-down, Classic, Basic, High-performance, Luxury, and Electric Motorscooters, California Legal Motorscooters, and mobility scooters.

Aside from the foldable carryable stand-up scooters, the minimalist scooter which gets over 100 mpg is clearly the least expensive way to acquire a first vehicle (with the possible exception of some Electric Scooters) and is the easiest way for a teen to unlock the world (See Motorscooter Freedom.) All of these scooters use four-stroke engines and automatic transmissions making them very easy to drive (See Driving a motorscooter). Our goal is to put you on a scooter. If you have parents or a spouse (or even children) who need persuading that you should have a scooter, see our Motorscooter Economy page -- we have all of the arguments prepared for you.

The Minimalist Scooter

The 50cc minimalist scooterr
The 50cc Minimalist Scooter
Delight your muse.

All of the following motorscooters, use the 50cc four-stroke engine. It is important to understand that these engines have undergone massive improvement since the little 50cc engines of the 50s and 60s. These are powerful little beasts. Their maximum speed is limited however, to 35-40 MPH and this renders them exempt from licensing, and insurance requirements in many states (See State Regulations). Mileage is superb. Unfortunately, the speed restriction mechanism used to limit top speed for legality, does reduce accelleration and mileage. It is possible (though not necessarily legal everywhere) to derestrict 50cc scooters so that they can achieve 40-50 mph. See de-restricting a 50cc scooter.

Note: Some but not all of the scooters below are now legally registerable in California, having satisfied the requrementis of the California Air Resources Board. They are clearly marked. Unlike many states, California does require license, registration, and insurance even for 50cc scooters. Only some electric scooters do not require licensing under California law.
