The answer is simple and fun, especially now the sun has arrived - hop on a scooter. Commuters are usually the most economical and ideal for nipping round town. Sport scooters are styled to appeal to those wanting performance.
Tourers are the luxury end of the market, often with bigger engines and an emphasis on comfort.
Scooters come in both manual and automatic versions. Once you've chosen your scooter, you then need to think about accessories - the most important is of course a helmet. Make sure it has a BSI mark to show it has passed all the safety requirements. Don't be afraid to try different ones on in the shop, check the fit and do up the chin strap to make sure it's comfortable. Invest in a pair of solid flat shoes, they may not look chic, but try riding in strappy heels and you'll soon change your mind.
