How many cc's are needed to climb up and down hills on a scooter?

by Anonymous
(Edmonton, Alberta, Canada)

What cc's is recommended for going up fairly steep hills? Is there an issue there? I am going up and down hills in the river valley of Edmonton, Alberta and have been told conflicting ideas on the possibility of a scooter being used for that...


Thanks!

by: Tom Houston

I own a 1997 Honda Helix (250 cc) and it is ready for hill climbing. It has plenty of power to spare.

You need a 250cc China scooter or a brand name 200cc or bigger scooter like a Kymco or SYM. An HD 200 SYM is a good scooter or a Kymco Yager with fuel injection should get you there.

by: Kathi

I think it may just depend on how fast you want to go and maybe how much you weigh...

I ride a 125cc scooter in the foothills around Boise, Idaho, and though I may not be able to keep up the same speeds I do on the flatter roads in the valley, my scooter really doesn't have any trouble negotiating the inclines. Other people here who drive 125s or larger have related similar experiences.

Obviously, 50cc scoots won't have quite the same get up and go, particularly if you are heavier. But I don't think that means you can't ride on the steep roads; you just might have to pull over a lot if there's a lot of traffic and let the faster cars go by...

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.

  • Use curse words or insult other posters?
  • Asked a question that's already been answered?

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.
