So, you want to start saving some serious amounts of cash over the next year or two on your mode of transport? Many thousands of people, just like you are coming to the same conclusion. They realize like you, that it is much more important to keep up with their mortgage payments, hence keeping a roof over the heads of the family, rather than pouring needless amounts of money down the drain, by driving a gas guzzling, money eating large car or automobile that only returns a few miles to the gallon. Or maybe you are a younger individual that just wants to keep as much money for themselves as possible?
You know that many of the short trips that you do around your city end up costing you more than you would like to admit. It's starting to worry you too, where all of this talk of recession will lead. You want to start making savings right now. Making savings IS making money, right? You realize that this is being prudent and shrewd, saving money for a rainy day so to speak, to spend in other ways rather than giving it to the fat cat oil corporations etc.
The question however remains, what are the alternatives? How can I still get around, running my errands etc, whilst too saving a considerable amount of money per month that I could save and put towards my mortgage or other urgent bills, or just spend on myself? Is there a viable solution for me that works without fail? Yes there is!
Maybe it's time to consider buying either a new or used gas powered moped or scooter. Think about it sensibly and you just might reach the conclusion, like many other thousands of people across North America, that it really is a very sensible option. Certainly the idea of achieving up to 100 miles per gallon over a measly 20 miles per gallon is a very attractive prospect for you and many others just like you. $5 of gas in a scooter or moped would likely pay for you to carry out all of your errands for a whole week, compare this against how much it costs you by your present mode of transport and I'm sure you will agree the savings really can be quite considerable, come the end of the month.
So, you realize it makes sense? Now, the question is, which moped or scooter should I buy?
Certainly you need to take a few things into consideration, not least of all the terrain in your local area and dare I say it, your height and build too. It's no good buying a very small powered moped if you are quite a large individual and there are plenty of hills where you live. Too, if it is a very small moped or scooter and you are like me, very tall at 6'6", you want to make sure that your long legs do not touch the handlebars of the moped or scooter as you are riding along. You need to bear safety in mind at all times. So think carefully first, before just rushing in to what seems to be the best deal. If you are like me, built quite well and you want to buy a moped or scooter to save money on gas as opposed to constantly driving a car for all those short trips around town, consider buying a slightly higher powered moped or scooter, even a small motorcycle. Thinking, planning ahead will ensure that the moped or scooter that you buy is a lot more reliable and dependable in the long run, and will save you still, lots of on gas.
It's no good overburdening a smaller engine, simply to scream the guts out of the thing every time you go up an incline. What you want is a moped or scooter that can convey you effortlessly and in the safest manner possible, so that you can concentrate fully on the road conditions presenting themselves in front of you. If you buy wisely, there is still no reason why you shouldn't be able to achieve quite incredible returns on the miles per gallon.
Of course, if you are of average build then you won't have these worries and it might well be that a smaller engined moped or scooter will fit your needs just perfectly. Generally speaking these smaller engines start at just 50cc and although this might sound tiny, you'll still be conveyed at around, give or take a little bit, about 30mph (80-100 plus mpg). If you go up a notch, a few more cc horsepower, 70-80hp, you should get around 45-50mph and still get around 70-80mpg. Buying something up to 125cc will, depending on the model, convey you very easily at the speed limits in most states and still give you awesome miles per gallon by return, hurting your pocket hardly at all, when compared to your present four wheeled transport. It's only at the end of the month, when you can compare the stats side by side that you can instantly realize the great amounts of money that you can save. This article really could inspire you to save many, many dollars!
