A motor scooter is a motorcycle with a step-through frame in which the rider sits without straddling any part of the engine.

Description


Most modern motor scooters have smaller wheels than motorcyles, between 8 and 14 inches (20-35 cm) in diameter. The scooter engine is usually found under the seat with a continuously variable transmission transferring power to the rear wheel, often in a front-hinged arrangement that allows the rear of the engine to swing vertically in conjunction with the motion of the rear wheel. Older Vespas, most vintage scooters, and some newer retro models have a manual transmission with the gear shift and clutch built into the left handlebar.

In contrast to most motorcyles, scooters generally feature bodywork, including a front leg shield and body that conceals all or most of the mechanicals. The classic scooter design features a flat floorboard for the rider's feet (sometimes called the 'dugout') and often includes some integral storage space, either under the seat, built into the front leg shield, or both.
