Hello all,
I am new in here. I hope somebody can put time to give me some advice and sharing his/her knowledge & experience for buying a scooter; Through open chat, private chat, or even if easier I can call the person if he/she prefers.
I want to buy a low speed scooter for first time. I don't know anything about scooter; really ZERO.
I have used much bike and driving car, but never a scooter.
I want to buy a low speed scooter; That I understand it is called maximum 25 km/h in the Netherlands with blue plate that can go in Bike lane only. (I don't want a higher speed scooter)
My usage would be only for about 10-12 km use per day in bike lane; for taking my child from home to school and back (6 km per direction). I guess I should find a way as well to install a seat or something in order to be able that my small child (5-6 years) can sit behind me (I hope it is allowed) little similar to seats we have for Bikes. (You got why I want to buy limited speed, because I don't want to drive at all fast with a child behind me, I even might driver much slower, and surely having helmet for both of us)
I know that there are two type of scooter : Electrical ones (like the models that we see in the street for shared motor-cycles for example Felyx), and Benzin ones. I guess Benzin models are still cheaper & more reliable in for long term usage.
My preference would be buying new scooter. I guess it is more assuring that I a second hand one doesn't make problem, as I am not the person who can judge about a second hand scooter.
Evidently, my budget is limited, so I prefer to buy the simplest & cheapest model that we can buy for use in Netherlands, as much as it is assuring minimum requirement, adapted with my usage mentioned above.
What I don't know - and I need help - is if for example I look online for finding a the cheapest scooter; if the cheapest first-hand model is enough good; Or maybe I should not take the cheapest model, because of any reason that I am ignoring, and it is better to pay little more and taking another model/mark.
Or even which items I should consider (Technical points, options, equipments, or whatever) for choosing an acceptable model/mark.
With thanks in advance for your help and guide.
In case any can help me by PM or via call, please let me know that I share my number or I call you.
Regards,
Rivan
