Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines?

2 stroke means that you have to mix 2 cycle oil with the gas. In older mopeds, you used to have to physically mix 2 stroke oil with the gasoline at the proper ratio. Newer models now have a separate container for the 2 stroke oil and all you have to do is make sure that the oil tank has oil. The oil is injected into the gasoline at the proper ratio as you drive.

4 stroke means you don't have to deal with any of that. All you have to do is put gas in and go. However, you do have to maintain the motor scooter by getting oil changes when needed.

New Scooters 4 Less is one of the only dealers in Gainesville selling EPA Approved 2008 and 2009 2 stroke scooter models.

2. What are the laws relating to motor scooters?

Buy My Scooter is a Florida based business. The following laws and regulations are related to Florida.

You should check with your local authorities to locate the laws that preside in your particular state.

6. Do I have to be a Buy My Scooter or New Scooters 4 Less customer to purchase a Maintenance Package?

No. Any person who has a motor scooter (and lives in the general Gainesville, FL area), whether new or used, can purchase a maintenance package and we highly recommend it. You receive a bulk price on the maintenance, but your scooter will be well cared for as well. This will lead to a higher resale value if you decide to sell it down the road.

7. If I purchase a motor scooter from another dealer who offers maintenance logs, can this log be placed in my listing on Buy My Scooter?

New Scooters 4 Less and Buy My Scooter were the originators of the Maintenance Log and Maintenance Packages which included these logs in Gainesville, FL. They were created to help students save money on maintenance that their motor scooter will need as well as encourage students to take care of their motor scooters in order to maintain a higher resale value. Since the creation of the Maintenance Logs and Packages, there have been many businesses that often imitate these services. Because we have no way of tracking and guaranteeing the authenticity of other scooter dealer's logs, no other logs kept with these dealers can be placed in a listing on this site. Only Buy My Scooter Maintenance Logs can be included in a person's listing on the site. Call us at (352) 336-1271 to get set up with a Maintenance Log so when you are ready to sell, you can display it in your listing. You might as well... we have the lowest motor scooter service rates in town anyway!
