Both scooters and motorcycles enable riders to enjoy low fuel prices and quick navigation through town. However, these two-wheeled vehicles also have major differences in engine size and body design that can mean the difference between safely riding at highway speeds and the ability to extract yourself from fast-moving, hazardous conditions.

Light and easy to hop onto:
Not all but most scooters are lower to the ground, lighter, and of a “step-through” design - meaning you don’t have to swing a leg all the way over the seat to get on. Handy if you have a bad hip or similar malady, also great if you’re wearing your kilt (please keep your knees together in case it flies up). Furthermore, most scooter engines and drivetrains are mounted low and to the rear: That low center of gravity makes them feel even lighter.
Twist and go:
Most scooters use some kind of automatic transmission (generally a CVT Continuously Variable Transmission), which means there’s no need to learn to work a clutch or shift gears. Great for aspiring riders who don’t know how. You can get comfortable in traffic on a scooter first, and learn to shift later on a motorcycle if you so desire.
Great storage, usually built-in:
Most scooters have nice cushy saddles that open up, alligator-mouth like, to reveal a big underseat storage space that’ll easily hold a couple bags of groceries, a backpack or your helmet and jacket. Drop the seat and it’s locked, with your cargo out of sight of needledicks and ne’er do wells. Some have USB ports and TFT displays up front you can Bluetooth up to your phone.
Stability, lack of:
The ones with tiny 12-inch wheels lack stability, especially on bumpy surfaces. A big part of a motorcycle’s stability comes from the gyroscopic effect of its two big wheels spinning, and more of it the faster you go. Obviously, smaller wheels at slower speeds provide less gyro. Also at higher speeds. If you’re commuting at 80 mph very far every day, a scooter with 12-inch wheels is not optimal. And having said all that, the Vespa 300 on its 12-inchers won the Handling portion of our latest scooter shootout a few years ago.
Handling, front end feel, lack of:
Also, scooters with their drivetrains mounted low and rearward have less weight on their front tires. That translates as a lack of steering feel and feedback, and makes scooters less swift as pure sporting tools on curvy roads. Depending on the nut behind the handlebars, naturally.
