Synopsis
The complete guide to these ever-more-popular vehicles. Scooters are the fastest-growing segment of the motorcycling market. They appeal to all types of riders, in particular newcomers to two-wheeled travel, because they are so affordable and easy to ride. Scooter riders, especially first-time owners, need a guide to maintaining and maximizing the performance and value of their scooters. Author Eric Dregni covers everything a scooter owner and rider needs to know in terms of basic maintenance, customizing, performance modifications, and even tips on becoming part of the scooter culture by taking part in scooter group activities. With the price of petrol rising, scooter sales will continue to rise sharply, and this will be the book of choice for newcomers to the world of scooters.

Customer Reviews

"Quite possibly, it is the best scootering book of all time"
Just when I thought nothing could top the Dregni's earlier book (Illustrated MotorScooter Buyer's Guide), they have come up with another masterpiece with their new book Scooters! In Scooters! the authors trace the history and development of the scooter and make an ambitious attempt to show the effect of the scooter on society and popular culture. The book boldy attempts a full tour de force of the wonderful world of scooters and scootering.... Visually, the book is dazzling. Drawing from archival photos, advertisements, and brochures, many long forgotten or unknown images appear for the first time. Like the text, the photographs are often whimsical and attempt to cover the full panorama of scootering....If you are looking for a book to introduce a friend to the joys and romance of scootering, this is definitely the book. Quite possible, it is the best scootering book of all time. --John Gerber, American Scooterist magazine, Autumn 1996
