 Before purchasing a scooter, you will want to determine whether a scooter is the correct choice for your brother and if so, what size and features are appropriate for him. To keep costs down, you may want to purchase a pre-owned scooter that has been inspected and that has a warranty from a reputable company that can help you with replacement parts and service. Just like buying a used car, check a scooter's make and model, how old it is, who has been using it and for what purpose. Used scooters can range in price; however, they typically cost over $2,000 (CDN).
