How Can I Convince My Father to Buy Me a Scooter?

by John
(Greece)

I am 16 years old and in my country it's OK to drive a 50cc scooter. I want to buy one because my school and the swimming pool for my water-polo trainings are too far from my house. I just want a chip scooter to move more conveniently to the places I mentioned above.


But my father doesn't want to buy me a scooter because he thinks that I might do wheelies or anything else that will cause an accident. So, please, can you help me with that? To convince my father that everything will be OK and he must trust me?

Convincing
by: Ron Goldwyn

Young man, You have a much better chance of convincing your parents if you are an A student in school. A better solution is for you to earn your own money and get permission to buy it yourself. Finally, save your money so that within the next two years you can purchase an automobileand impress the gals.

Life Lesson

Hey there... It's not really for us to convince your father. Sure, we can say that scooters are safe... provided you drive responsibly. But that's true of any motor vehicle. If you want your father to trust you, then you have to earn that trust. You may also want to think about getting a job, so that you can prove your responsibility and also contribute towards the purchase.

Move out of your fathers house and "you" will be able to buy that scooter. Now if you want "him" to buy it then good luck.

Battery Tender Junior in package

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.

Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.

One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.

Read our review or go right to Amazon.com to buy this highly recommended Battery Tender Jr NOW...

ATTENTION! I have had to delete the Scooter Forum for this site, unfortunately. Despite my best efforts, I could not adequately prevent daily attacks by hackers and spammers. Even though most of their posts did not go public, they still cluttered up my website host's server space, jeopardizing my account. I appreciate everyone's contributions over the past few years and I apologize for having to do this.

Wondering why your scooter question never got posted?

Chances are, there is a good reason. Did you...

If you "checked yes" on any of the points above, then I've deleted your post. Sorry, but I have standards. Feel free to re-submit, following the instructions I have everywhere on the site.

Also... all submissions have to be reviewed by me, and I am currently backlogged. Comments go live without approval, but still take 30 to 60 minutes to show up, so don't repost them, please.
