what's good everybody welcome back to another vlog from Ramen on Wheels aka
the ROW Mobile, son. This video is about the pros and cons of having or owning a
scooter. There's always good and bad things and I'm gonna tell you what those
are; for owning one of these bad boys.
Coming up.
so you want a scooter but you want to know what's the bad things and
the good things cuz you probably hear a lot of the good things but not so much
the bad things about owning the scooter so I'm gonna break it down for you. I'm
gonna do a do the pros outweigh the cons or the cons outweigh the pros right.
there we're gonna we're gonna go head-to-head on those things right right
now real quick okay so hands now everybody knows this. the first pro to
owning scooter it's the fact that they're that they are inexpensive to say
the least. I mean for brand-spanking-new scooter
it can range you anywhere for between eight to six thousand plus dollars.
thousand dollars right so between eight to six thousand depending on the brand
we all know this compared to a car where you're gonna pay for a brand new car
anywhere between 12 to 20 plus thousand dollars and I know not everybody can
just shuffle out like 20 grand like that for ride but $3,000
there's a lot easier. you know what I had plans to go somewhere but it's just I
don't know how long we'll be talking so I'm just like roam and go anywhere right
now he's gonna get over yeah I want to see what's back this way
so
next Pro is that insurance, man. that insurance is so beautiful I pay $100 a
year not a month a year for this insurance you know basic accidental
insurance stop signs Shauna you put stop girl well a car you're gonna pay
anywhere from 100 I can go go Shauna go. I can all slow and stuff but anywhere
from 100 to depending on how old you are and gender like if you're a boy and
you're like 16 can be up to like five hundred dollars a month so whoa
so a hundred to five hundred dollars a month for your car pay attention
you see this is what happens when I explore new areas
I don't know where I am
I think i'ma get over
now the next one is it's easy affordable maintenance on this scooter I don't know
where I am oh dang this is complete opposite
direction I want to go then but easy affordable maintenance on your scooter
stop the go wrong your scooter you you're looking at if you go to a
mechanic no more then okay no more than a hundred couple hundred bucks to fix it
parts and labor at all just pins and what what's wrong with the scooter or
you can fix it yourself which is gonna cost you grace greatly less so much less
if you try to fix it yourself and it's pretty easy to learn it's not hard it's
not rocket science it's just scooter mechanics no a Man Thing I miss myself
I'm not gonna go back okay unlike if you owned a car you're looking at like four
five hundred all this every time you have to bring it in
okay okay I've got you I've got you
next is that versatility right scooters are so versatile right whether you live
in those urban areas like I do that city or you live in a town the countryside I
mean it works for all these places
hold on hold on I think I'm doing a lot of pros though I need to switch over to
those cons for a second hold on cause did you see if they could catch up on
one of those cons is those weather conditions son I mean you get caught in
that rain or if it's snowing I don't get a lot of snow out here in Texas if we
don't really have that issue but I mean you get some random freezing days
whereas like tame and it's cold my hands are all turning numb on me
you tonight thank you
and then not all scooters another con just let us know
not all scooters or
highway and freeway friendly just let you know if you didn't already know
come on ya gonna turn turn turn turn.
another thing is that are you coming up too quick you gonna go
Beaupre I need get over thank you
get over again
scooters tend to lack storage space. when compared to cars. you know what I'm
saying. yeah yellow light. go go go go! okay doing
that green
scooters oh no I gotta get over okay
oh snap some kind of accident happened over there that's not good
well go down over there it's some kind of accident
that's what you call rubbernecking okay stay focus so scooters black stores
compared to cars right if you want to go like like true grocery shopping you
can't really do that on a scooter but we do tend to have more storage space than
motorcycles but that is something like that is an easy fix with like you get
you a saddle bag or something
another one I was conned is if you plan to drive which hopefully you guys know
this by now you plan to drive anything faster that goes faster than 30 miles an
hour then you have to get that pesky M license which can be a real hassle and
you have to shovel out a few hundred bucks
well but in you know in some states you can just take the actual test which is
still like 50 bucks and skip the whole course thing but yeah
Oh
everybody's going on this red light I don't I don't understand that people
always want to go on red and stop on green another thing is that you don't
have that protection right that you would in a car see he has the four doors
the windshield the airbag the seatbelt we got none of that son none of that
hello how are you we have none of that so it's more
dangerous out here on the streets we almost two wheels
a pearl here we go a pro now this isn't
what do you call that statistically proven or anything like that huh
Thanks no idea what she said but yeah but yeah
this isn't statistically proven or anything
but police are less likely to stop you on the scooter
I mean before real have you ever heard of the rising number of police tickets
for scooters for real fur no you haven't have you been driving down the road and
seen a police officer pulled over or scooter now you guys you go go ahead and
go you might have been put your welcome you might have been pulled over by a
police on the scooter. Brah, don't be blowing at me. what you wanted me to hit
the dude. dang, people so impatient. I'm park real quick. to finish, finish my
thoughts because other was being thrown off give me some of that buta okay
so let me finish my thoughts real quick.
but yeah you never I don't think you ever just seen a scooter driver if you
guys ever even noticed scooters driving around the city or wherever you live but
you won't see police pulling over scooters that often unless you just
blatantly in their face like popping willies swerving in the side of the
lanes you know a lane splitting stuff like that speaking of lane splitting
another problem here we go so when the zombie apocalypse happen right and all
that traffic is like bumper-to-bumper you can just split it in other lanes on
that scooter son yes yes if you buy a scooter for no other reason than that
buy a scooter for the soon-to-come zombie apocalypse
boom boom that just happened your eyes have been opened your mind has been
blown
but on a serious note
scooters are just so convenient so convenient to half I don't know which
one I haven't I haven't like went counted in my brain but like who's
winning right now is the pros winning are the cons winning I can't see haven't
counted do you guys have any maybe I mean did what I came here to do
do you guys have any uh other pros and cons I'm distracted I don't know where
I'm supposed to be going right now hmm I know I want to go over there but I don't
want to just sit in the line and talk and hold up cuz you know I can't do two
things at once well I mean I'm driving and talking well no I'm not driving and
talking about sitting here cuz my brain my brain
it's marshmallows oh here we go because I really want the cons to win. Scooters be
dope. which actually there's a con right there some people believe out there that
scooters are not dope that scooters are laying their scooters have no style and
I'm here to tell you people, you suck because that's not true.
scooters are all that and a bag of chips. you see that phrase that phrase never
went out of style just like scooters we never go out of
style. so boom in your face and another Pro is that scooters are automatic so
unlike they mo motorcycles we don't have to do all that shifting gears and stuff.
what what you want me to keep coming at you with those pros you want me to keep
coming at you with those problems I can't cuz I can't think of one right now
let me do it I got to do and then maybe I'll come back and talk some up
