Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

50cc Scooters

By Owen Jones

50cc scooters have an engine size that classifies them as small motorcycles or mopeds at the limit between the vehicle category and moped classes. Regulations vary in many countries of the world, when it comes to the legal right to drive 50cc scooters with or without a driving license and common laws are seldom achieved. For instance, in some EU countries you can ride such motorcycles without a driving license. The exceptions are France and Italy, where you need a car driving license to operate vehicles up to 125cc. There is a fairly big level of legal ambiguity in the definition and classification of scooters and mopeds.

The restrictions and licensing fees are a lot less for 50cc scooters and they are not legally considered as motorcycles. This definition applies to vehicles above the 50 cc engine capacity. However, an intermediary definition or class has been created by some jurisdictions. Therefore, between 50 and 150cc, vehicles are referred to as motorized bikes. In other parts of the world, 50cc scooters and above, are described as motorcycles.

Hence, the terms of such a vehicle's classification vary from state to state and cannot be discussed as if they are interchangeable. Therefore, when you go to buy for a scooter or you are searching for information, you need to take these facts into consideration as well in order to understand everything properly.

Technically, 50cc scooters are among the smallest and best designed on the market. They are very popular because of their very low cost, their minimal fuel consumption and the possibility of them being used by teenagers and adults alike. They are both chic and sporty at the same time, so such a vehicle is seen as a trendy alternative to public transportation or inner city driving.

You can zip around with a scooter or moped, avoiding the traffic jams of heavy traffic. Even though they have a rather small engine capacity, 50cc scooters have four stroke engines with a high performance for various mobility and transportation purposes.

However, 50cc scooters share similar features with larger models, because the design lines are often kept similar by the various manufacturers. Therefore, there is usually an electric start and a kick start mode, the brakes and exhaust come in sports variants and they all have some form of storage space beneath the seat.

Before the purchase of such a small motorcycle, you ought to learn something about the certification for registration, the warranty, the fuel consumption and the technical limitations of the model. However, the same tips hold valid for larger designs too.
