Scooter School is In Session at Pete’s!

Pete’s Cycles is definitely heaven for motorcycle, dirtbike and ATV enthusiasts – our showrooms are fully stocked with the latest models, makes and all the accessories a rider would ever need.

But did you know that we also stock scooters from Honda, Kymco, Suzuki and Yamaha? And just to be clear, these aren’t the scooters you remember from growing up, these machines are manufactured by the leaders of the industry and provide excellent transportation for getting around the city or county.

Starting off with the Honda, Pete’s is proud to offer the Honda PCX. This scooter boasts room for two riders and a 125 inch cubic engine that will put you out in front of the pack. Excellent gas mileage rounds out the package, along with plenty of storage room.

The Kymco Super 8 150 boasts a dazzling blue and yellow color scheme, along with a price tag below $2,500. The four-stroke engine is started electrically and has an automatic transmission.

Suzuki’s Burgman 400 manages to pack convenience, performance and style into one spiffy looking machine. A mammoth 400 cubic engine generates plenty of power while remaining stingy on gas. An automatic transmission makes city driving a breeze and the storage capacity is hard to beat.

Function is always a determining factor, but form isn’t far behind, and Yamaha’s look back to the past in the Vino Classic is bursting with clean lines and plenty of style. The powerplant in this beauty is a 49 cubic centimeter four stroke engine that tools along at a decent clip, while saving money at the gas pump. Cool style and even cooler gas bills, that’s a winning combination.

These four models are only a taste of the scooter selection you’ll find at any Pete’s Cycles location. If you’re living the city life, or even motoring around the suburbs, scooters are an affordable way to get around.

Before you go shopping for a scooter, here are a few suggestions.

1. Look for a scooter that is going to fit your lifestyle. Do you want style and speed or more storage space?

2. Will this be your main mode of transportation? If the answer is yes, consider one of the larger models, you’ll be spending a little more but you’ll appreciate your investment.

3. Price range – most models retail at under $10,000 and the money you’ll save on gas and insurance is definitely a plus. Let your budget be your guide.

4. Safety is always a main concern, and you’ll want to check out a bike’s size and safety rating in relation to where you’ll be riding. And as always – WEAR YOUR HELMET.

5. Let’s be honest, style counts! Are you looking for a sleek, modern scooter that makes an impression, or do you want a model that looks more old school?
