- I'm that nerd. I put together a spreadsheet with over 50 gas-powered scooters in it with their features laid out. This video is a walk-through of the Google spreadsheet. Check out the guide & find a link to the spreadsheet at ScootersforNewbies.com/choose 🔽🔽🔽🔽

What features are you looking for in a scooter? There's no perfect scooter for everyone, so it's neat to hear what others think makes a great scooter!
You make the best, most informative videos on a single subject that I've seen. We really appreciate the work you've done. I'm currently shopping for a Scooter, so I always check your videos first before buying. (About the Buddy Kick, I don't think you made the wrong decision based upon the factors that you can control; even if you get a larger Scooter and go faster, the same old jerks on the road will still be there, and they will just speed up when you do; think about it). Good luck and stay safe! 😄
Liked the Scooter Guide with charts and thought "I wish there was MPG" and BAM went to the spreadsheet. THANK YOU so much! #Bestnerdever
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! I am a woman in my 30s and for some reason decided to be obsessed with riding a scooter starting a couple days ago. I love that you're a professional woman who started riding too without knowing much. You're an inspiration. I am going through your videos right now and taking mental notes!! What's your favorite scooter by the way?
You just made my day! I struggle with what my fav is, but it depends on how you’re gonna ride. Do you mind sharing?
Sometimes I get comments that make me think, “What am I doing?” Then there are those like yours that make me think I’m helping to normalize riding! It’s a blast & really helps melt away the work day!
Thank you for this spreadsheet
Oh wow...such an awesome tool. Great work😄👍
Thanks, lady! I’m all about helping us get more scoots on the roads.
Love your channel, very informative and easy to watch. 12 months ago I bought my first scooter (a 2019 Lambretta V125) having previously owned sports bikes and a cruiser. I love it for the retro look, the twist and go and the suburban commute. For practicality, value for money and under seat storage I'm loving the idea of getting a Yamaha XMax 300, however I'm not sure I can justify owning 2 scooters and I don't think I can part with the Lambretta because of the styling and it's connection to the British mod culture. If only the Lambretta came in a 300c, 13litre fuel tank, 15"front and 14"rear wheels and capacity for 2 full face helmets under the seat, it would be the perfect scooter :) Keep up the awesome work with your channel, all the very best from Australia :)
Whoa. You totally described the PERFECT scooter. Where do we leave this suggestion for the powers that be?! Haha! Thank you for the kind words. That XMax looks slick!! I can’t wait to see a Lambretta in the wild! I still haven’t seen one yet outside of a random dealer once.
It's funny as I was looking for "color" as a high priority. Bought a Lance PCH125 7 years ago in Orange and really liked it, but like you, soon after decided I should have got the larger bike to hit the occasional freeway. Not too long after getting it I found an orange SYM (I think) City 300 in orange which I loved, but couldn't justify getting it just a few months later.
I recently got back into the scooter life again with fuel prices and just ended up with a 2022 Kymco Xtown300. I'm still breaking it in, but I might have had more interest in the Burgman 200. I didn't know it would hit 75! So colors would be nice.
Lastly, earlier tests I saw of Xtowns listed lower hp and torque than the Kymco site does now. Do you know if there was a bump?
Great info btw!!
Wow, that's brilliant! Well done on a great tool.
Appreciate it! It’s a labor of love!!
I do not think it is so well done. The one reason is because of engine type compared to cc. A higher cc engine does not mean more power or speed, especially when comparing 2 stroke and four stroke engines. A much smaller 2 stroke engine is just as powerful and often more powerful than a much bigger 4 stroke engine. 2 stroke engines just have more raw power. Not sure if she is just unaware of the differences in 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines, but you can literally make a lot of 50cc 2 stroke engines more powerful than a 4 stroke 150cc engine. Then there is things like big bore kits, carburetors, upgrading exhaust, gears etc that will make small 2 stroke engines insanely powerful. You can take a 50cc 2 stroke engine, put a 72cc big bore kit on it, upgrade the carb, exhaust and gears, and it will outrun a 150cc 4 strokes all day long. She should probably specify which are 2 stroke and which are 4 stroke, cause a 2 stroke has the speed and power that a 4 stroke is lacking. There are some single gear 2 strokes that are slow, like the old Honda Spree engines, but for the most part the majority of 2 stroke engines have more raw power. She should probably ride some 2 strokes, cause the power difference is instantly noticeable. Engine size with 4 strokes usually does mean more power, but with 2 strokes it does not. A smaller 2 stroke will often be more powerful than bigger engines. When it comes to 2 stroke engines the cc can be deceptive.
Whoa. That’s a lot of comment there. Check out column J for the 2/4 stroke component. She is aware & has ridden 2 strokes. 😂
The spreadsheet is meant to help you where you are. Wanna care about mods, go for it. Want something to ride straight away with out caring about the 2/4 stroke convo, go for it.
@@ScooterNewbie But she never mentioned it in her spreadsheet. It was not a knock on her, just an honest observation. But most people do care about 2 and 4 stroke engines, cause 4 strokes usually lack power and 2 strokes do not. Unmodded a 2 stroke engine of the same size will simply be more powerful. 2 strokes are where the power is, but sadly because of emissions not a lot of 2 strokes are being made these days.
The 2 & 4 strokes are in my spreadsheet, so those that care can find it. Happy riding!
Great work, thanks.
My pleasure! Would love to hear what scooters have caught your eye if you’re looking!
Its a straight forward spreadsheet. Its not "massive." Massive would be like 10000 scooters. Ok? Ok.
Good point! I FELT like it was massive at the time I guess just getting all the info together (including trips to dealers to fill in gaps in internet info).
Were you looking for a scooter not on the sheet? I add every 6 months with updates, so a refresh is coming.
@@ScooterNewbie oh I was having fun with you. I recently bought a Yamaha Majesty. Nice bike, but motorcy
cle-ish in terms of power to weight.
@@drobichaud1000 I’m semi new to scooters, so I had to look the Majesty up. That’s a SWEET maxi scooter! Digging it so far? Get a good deal?
@@ScooterNewbie I do like it. I like that it has plenty of power, and if necessary I can do 85 with it. I got it used from a lady that had to stop riding due to an injury ... her price was more than fair, I didn't haggle
over it.
Congrats on the new ride! So glad you have enough oomph to do what you want to do!
