List of motor scooter manufacturers and brands

January 01, 1970

This article is about manufacturers of seated motor-scooters. For stand-up scooter devices, see Kick scooter.

Note there is no single fixed definition of a scooter (also known by the full name motor-scooter), but generally a smaller motorcycle with a step-through frame is considered a scooter, especially if it has a floor for the rider's feet (as opposed to straddling the vehicle like a conventional motorcycle). Other common traits of scooters can include: bodywork (so the mechanicals are not exposed like a conventional motorcycle), motors combined with the suspension or wheel (rather than attached to the frame like a conventional motorcycle), leg shields, smaller wheels than a conventional motorcycle, and an alternative to a chain drive.[1]

Scooters share traits with mopeds (some models could even be considered both a moped and a scooter). Adding to the confusion between them, in many jurisdictions smaller engined scooters (e.g. 50cc) are road registered in the same legal category as mopeds (often named "Moped" class), leading to scooters being casually referred to as "mopeds" in such areas.[2] Underbones also share traits with scooters (e.g. small and step-through design), but they are generally not strictly considered scooters in the purest sense as they do not have a floor, but they are often casually referred to as scooters (especially ones with leg shields).

This article is about manufacturers of seated motor scooters For stand up scooter devices see Kick scooter Note there is no single fixed definition of a scooter also known by the full name motor scooter but generally a smaller motorcycle with a step through frame is considered a scooter especially if it has a floor for the rider s feet as opposed to straddling the vehicle like a conventional motorcycle Other common traits of scooters can include bodywork so the mechanicals are not exposed like a conventional motorcycle motors combined with the suspension or wheel rather than attached to the frame like a conventional motorcycle leg shields smaller wheels than a conventional motorcycle and an alternative to a chain drive 1 Scooters share traits with mopeds some models could even be considered both a moped and a scooter Adding to the confusion between them in many jurisdictions smaller engined scooters e g 50cc are road registered in the same legal category as mopeds often named Moped class leading to scooters being casually referred to as mopeds in such areas 2 Underbones also share traits with scooters e g small and step through design but they are generally not strictly considered scooters in the purest sense as they do not have a floor but they are often casually referred to as scooters especially ones with leg shields Contents 1 Scooter brands in production 2
