Every state is listed. These twelve have the deepest coverage, and the full A to Z index has the rest.
Five kinds of listing
Every listing is sorted into one of five categories, because someone who wants a two-hour ride around a beach town and someone who needs a carburettor rebuilt are asking completely different questions.
Sells 49cc to 300cc motor scooters and mopeds, usually with a parts counter, a service bay and the paperwork for title and registration handled in house.
Stand-up electric scooters, seated e-mopeds and e-bikes: the shops that stock batteries, controllers and tires you cannot get at a powersports dealer.
Rents scooters, mopeds or e-scooters by the hour, day or week. Expect a deposit, a licence check and a helmet included or offered.
Guided rides on scooters, mopeds or Segways with a route, a guide and gear. Usually two to four hours and booked ahead.
Repair, tuning, tires, batteries and state inspections. Some take walk-ins, most run an appointment book in riding season.
Freestyle kick scooters for the skatepark: decks, forks, bars, clamps and wheels. No motor, no plate, and a completely different parts list.

All client side, no sign-up, nothing sent anywhere.

Guides
Motor ratings, battery health, licence classes, rental deposits and the safety numbers. Written to be useful on the sidewalk, not to fill a page.
Electricity or fuel is the smallest line in the budget. Tyres, brakes, depreciation and the battery are what actually set the cost per mile, and here are the numbers.
Scooters are stolen the way bicycles are stolen, only faster, because they are light enough to carry away with the lock still attached.
What changes when the road is wet, what cold does to a battery, and the specific adjustments that make winter riding survivable rather than miserable.
A scooter is not a car replacement for most people. Paired with a train or a bus it solves the first and last mile, which is the part transit is worst at.
How to inspect a used scooter or moped before you hand over cash, including the paperwork checks that matter more than the mechanical ones.
What to check weekly, monthly and seasonally on an electric or petrol scooter, in the order that things actually fail.
