Do you want to know about scootering

Review Date: August 14, 2007

Reviewer: L. Lemanski, Maple Grove, MN

There are differences between motorcycling and scootering and I think the authors helped fill this gap. There's some good starter information here as well as details useful for a regular rider.

Very well done

Wow, what a great introduction to scooters! This book has all of the information one needs for someone who is considering buying a scooter or who is just starting out. Even better, it is well-written, practical, and concise. It has a good balance of information on various aspects, such as safety, maintenance, customization, scooter jargon, and social networking. It includes useful pictures, including some unique scooters, as well as specifications for many makes and models. My only quibble, and it is a minor one, is that I found it a bit confusing that the chapter on Protective Clothing was included in the Fun Stuff section, while the chapter on Customizing Your Scooter was included in the What to Expect section. The placement of the chapters seems to be flip-flopped. Nevertheless, I would strongly recommend this guide to anyone who is fairly new to scooters.

Great book for 1st-time scooter owners.

This book is a must have for 1st-time scooter owners (not just Vespa!); a lot of information in a very affordable and easy-to-tote paperback.

Excellent Reference Book for a Newby
