Schwinn Motor Scooter

If you have been riding a scooter or considering getting one for a while, you would be familiar with Schwinn motor scooter models such as the Campus, Laguna 50, Newport 50, Hope 150 or Valo 150. That’s because Schwinn has been a well known bicycle manufacturer since 1895 and has become one of the biggest gas powered scooter suppliers in the US since they entered the market in 2005.

The typical Schwinn motor scooter is a gas powered, four stroke machine, with both 49cc and 149cc engines available. The advantages of riding a Schwinn motor scooter are obvious. Not only do they meet DOT and EPA motor vehicle regulations, they are also extremely cost effective and environmentally friendly, considering the amount of money you are saving on gas. They also offer an incredible 2 year warranty compared to the usual 1 year offered by other brands.

Schwinn has a comprehensive range of motorized scooter models to meet all kinds of needs. The 2009 Schwinn Moto Scooter models include the Newport, Hope and Valo, each coming in 49cc and 149cc versions. Take note that because of the additional power of the 149cc scooters, you will need a motorcycle license before you can start operating them. If you do not have one, most states will allow you to operate 49cc scooters without a license or insurance, but do note that the minimum age for all kinds of scooters is 16. The Hope range is particularly noteworthy as a portion of each sale is donated to fund breast cancer research and awareness. Other scooters in the 2009 range include the Laguna 50 and Sport 50.

If you have been monitoring the Schwinn motor scooter range for a while, you might have also noticed models such as the Campus, Collegiate and Graduate from the 2007 lineup. In fact, the Schwinn Campus was featured in MTV’s “Real World” Road Rules Challenge with 10 scooters given away as prizes on the same show in 2007.

If you are keen to purchase a Schwinn motor scooter, we highly recommend that you also purchase a protective helmet for safety reasons. Schwinn also produces motor scooter accessories such as U-locks and disc brake locks to ensure the security of your scooter, scooter covers to protect it from the elements and a range of cargo boxes that you can attach to your scooter for easy transportation of equipment.

In summary, the Schwinn motor scooter is a quality and fun to ride machine from a trusted brand. It comes in both 49cc and 149cc versions and with a wide range of models to suit all requirements and personalities as well as a 2 year warranty.
