What Are the Top 10 Most Scooter Friendly Cities in the US?

by Richard
(Maryland, USA)

Hi Kathi,

I happened upon your webpage and like it best amongst the many I've perused in the past few months.

My scootering began just this January, though I've been restoring an old moped I ran years ago. Needless to say I love scootering. It's a Chinese scooter and I've read all of the nightmare stories, but mine has been perfect for the first 1100 miles.

Anyway, I live in Maryland and will retire in six years. I'm considering relocating after retirement if I found a very scooter friendly city/town/state. I haven't found any resource telling me what is "the most friendly scooter city in the U.S". Do you know what is perhaps a top-ten list? Maryland is pretty good because most state roads have excellent shoulders and are well-maintained. The weather isn't the greatest though. Any suggestions would be helpful.

My Vote for A Top Scooter City
by: Artist Bob

If we are going to have a straw vote on this, Then my vote goes for Santa Cruz, CA. A beautiful coastal city, ideal climate, good roads for scootering, and there are scooter shops to service your wheels. It is a small enough city to feel like a town, but large enough to provide you with all the services you need. UC Santa Cruz is there encouraging student riders, and there is an established Scooter Club for group activities. (PS: I am NOT a member of the Chamber of Commerce.)

Great Question!
by: Richard

That might make a great new article for the site, Richard. I'll start working on it. But for now, I'm guessing the southwest, where the sun shines most of the year and it rarely gets too cold, might be a great choice. It's pretty good here in Boise, which is high desert too, though it does get cold and sometimes snowy for a couple of months during the winter.

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...
