List of scooter manufacturers


Note there is no single fixed definition of a scooter, but generally a smaller motorcycle with a step-through frame is considered a scooter, especially if it has a floor for the rider's feet. Other common traits of scooters can include: bodywork, motors combined with the suspension or wheel, leg shields, smaller wheels than a conventional motorcycle, and an alternative to a chain drive.
Scooters share traits with mopeds, and some models could even be considered both a moped and a scooter. Adding to the confusion in many areas most scooters are road registered in the same category originally designed for mopeds, leading to scooters being referred to as "mopeds" in such areas. Underbones also share traits with scooters, but they are generally not strictly considered scooters in the purest sense as they do not have a floor, but they are often casually referred to as scooters.
