best scooters

A scooter is the simplest solution for getting around town without the constraints of a traditional motorcycle: flat floorboard, under-seat storage, automatic transmission. The next step is to find the best scooter for your needs. We group them here by engine size, from urban 50 cc models to more powerful GT scooters.

The best 50 cc scooters

The 50 cc class is perfect for short urban trips, students and new riders who want a vehicle that is easy to operate and economical to run. Several models have received styling updates, new colours and improved tech equipment.

Piaggio Liberty 50

Large 16-inch wheels up front deliver stable, confidence-inspiring handling, plus a new 5.5-inch colour LCD dashboard and LED lighting. The Euro 5+ compliant, fuel-injected engine posts a consumption of about 2.5 L/100 km.

Vespa Primavera 50

An icon of Italian style. The 50 cc i-get, fuel-injected engine offers smooth, efficient performance, while full LED lighting and the timeless design of the steel monocoque body continue to make it one of the most popular scooters in the category.

Vespa Sprint 50 S

A sportier trim of the Primavera with a more dynamic presentation, distinctive rims and a riding position slightly more focused on urban fun.

Piaggio Typhoon 50

Affordable and playful, with styling inspired by the sport-scooter world. The wider tires and relaxed riding position make it a popular choice for daily commutes.

Our tip: for a first scooter, look at wheel size as much as engine displacement. The large wheels on the Piaggio Liberty 50 absorb road imperfections better and offer greater stability on the sometimes rough streets of urban centers in Quebec.

For their part, the Vespa Primavera 50 and Sprint 50 S put more emphasis on refinement, build quality and resale value. Even if their purchase price is higher, many buyers appreciate their timeless style and modern equipment.

From a budget standpoint, a 50-cc scooter remains one of the most economical motorized ways to move around town. With consumption generally between 2.5 and 3 L/100 km depending on the model and riding conditions, the operating cost stays well below that of a car for daily trips.

Best 125 cc / 150 cc scooters

The 125 to 150 cc scooter segment adds what 50 cc models sometimes lack: enough power to keep pace on major boulevards, handle longer daily commutes and ride with greater confidence as speeds rise. Without reaching the power of a motorcycle, these models offer an excellent balance of ease of use, fuel economy and performance.

Vespa Primavera 150

This scooter stands out with a successful blend of classic Italian styling and modern road manners. The more energetic engine enables crisp accelerations in the city while preserving the comfort and agility that have built Vespa’s reputation.

Vespa Sprint 150 S

This scooter offers a sportier approach with dynamic design, a slightly more engaged riding position and reassuring braking for daily use. It suits riders who want an elegant scooter able to handle more sustained urban commutes with ease.

Yamaha BWS 125

For those who prioritize toughness, the Yamaha BWS 125 remains a safe bet. Its off-road inspired look, suspension suited to sometimes battered roads and its reputation for reliability make it a popular pick with students, young workers and riders who travel daily in varied conditions.

Piaggio Liberty 150

The Piaggio Liberty 150 focuses on simplicity and efficiency. The large wheels improve stability on uneven pavement, while contained fuel consumption helps reduce running costs. Its practical size also makes it easy to navigate dense urban areas.

Moving from a 50 cc scooter to a 125 or 150 cc model significantly transforms the riding experience. Acceleration is quicker, passing is easier and the rider feels more at ease in traffic. This extra reserve of power is especially appreciated when carrying a passenger or when dealing with steeper hills.

For riders who cover between 15 and 30 km per day, with some sections limited to 60 km/h or more, 125 to 150 cc scooters often represent the best compromise among purchase price, fuel consumption, comfort and versatility. They offer enough performance to broaden your travel possibilities while preserving the simplicity that makes scooters so appealing.

Best 300 cc / 500 cc scooters

Vespa GTS Super 300

The Vespa GTS Super 300 is designed for those who want a scooter capable of going beyond simple urban trips. The HPE engine with roughly 24 horsepower delivers enough power to ride comfortably on main roads and the highway, while keeping consumption reasonable. It is a solid choice for daily travel between the city and the suburbs.

Piaggio MP3 530

The Piaggio MP3 530 stands out with its two front wheels, which provide excellent stability, particularly in the rain or on lower-grip pavement. More powerful and more comfortable over long distances, it is well suited to riders who want to replace their car with a scooter for daily travel or commuting.

Best electric scooters

Vespa Primavera Elettrica

The Vespa Primavera Elettrica keeps Vespa’s emblematic style while eliminating gasoline entirely. Its quiet ride and reduced maintenance make it an interesting option for urban travel, especially for those who want to lower day-to-day costs without giving up the classic look of a Vespa scooter.

Yamaha Neo’s

The Yamaha Neo's offers a simple, practical electric solution for city trips. Easy to recharge, like a household appliance, it suits short daily distances well. For primarily urban use, it is a concrete option to reduce fuel expenses and limit maintenance tied to a combustion engine.

Our tips for choosing the best scooter for your needs

To choose well, start from your actual use rather than the look. Three questions often settle it:

• Do you mainly ride in the city (50 to 125 cc), or also on faster routes (300 cc and up)?
• Do you need an under-seat trunk and storage for everyday use?
• Do you prefer the savings of electric or the range of gas power?
