Modular helmets are perfect for scooter riders, bringing the same type of flexible character as their vehicles. I personally ride most often with a modular helmet (though there is a small weight penalty over a normal fixed full-face helmet) when I am on short rides or doing errands. I love being able to open the helmet’s front instead of fully removing the entire helmet. Many of the helmets on this list include features like internal sun visors and Bluetooth communication systems. These conveniences have quickly become “can’t live without” parts of normal riding for many. Safety and protection ..read more

Is there much difference between a scooter helmet compared to a motorcycle helmet? The basic answer is no. The goal is always to protect our head, but there is nothing wrong with showing off a little style. I think there are a few characteristics that change when looking at a scooter helmet. Often the length of the ride is shorter on a scooter, which makes an extremely light helmet less important. Typically I would be riding a scooter in an urban environment, where the speeds are lower and less buffeting of air around the base of the helmet would occur. This means noise-reducing features are l ..read more

2013 BMW C600 Sport Review Summary The BMW C600 is an extremely capable maxi-scooter that is sporty, comfortable, and loaded with features. It is big enough to soak up highway miles with aplomb, but not so big as to be difficult to ride at city speeds.

The world is in a bit of turmoil at the moment, with the economy feeling the effects of the new surge in cryptocurrency, the global pandemic raging, and working from home becoming the preferred norm. It’s confusing, it’s stressful, and it’s wearing away patience and compassion at an alarming rate. What this world needs, then, is some two-wheeled therapy! Thankfully, a lot of manufacturers have also realized this. It is a great time to be a scooter enthusiast, because ever since 2020, there have been exciting announcements, fast tracked prototyping, and lots of new models announced both this ye ..read more

Scooter riders, we’d be willing to bet that for the larger majority of you, until you clicked on this article, you didn’t really even consider your feet and legs as something that needed protecting when riding a scooter. The fact of the matter is, a scooter is technically the same as a motorcycle in the most literal sense of using two wheels, one of which is powered, is steered through moving your body weight and center of gravity around, and uses a hand throttle. The truth is that pavement doesn’t really care if you’re riding a 200 HP supersport or a 3 HP scooter. Suffering a fall at 30 MPH r ..read more

From the get go, let’s just make sure that everyone is on the same page, in that coming off a scooter at 30 MPH is pretty much the same as coming off a motorcycle at 30 MPH. Both instances are going to hurt, you will most likely tumble and skid, and you need to have appropriate protection for both types of two wheeled transport. This isn’t to say that scooters or motorcycles are inherently dangerous. It’s just that neither has the safety cell around you like a car does, so you need to dress appropriately for your ride. With that in mind, we have brought together some of the best motorcycle glo ..read more
