A common term used to describe
scooter enthusiasts is scooterists. For many, owning a scooter places them in an elite group, despite the growing number of recent buyers. In a lot of cases, an owner of a vintage scooter (be it a Mustang, Cushman or Lambretta) is somewhat older, perhaps a bit eclectic and one who cherishes ownership of these collectibles. Frankly, some scooterists insist that the enthusiasm for these tiny transports is dying out; relatively few younger people want to ride scooters, unless they too are in possession of a certain character trait---the desire to be different. Thus, many rockers, artists, and other alternative-thinking people ride scooters, but they do so for reasons beyond their love for these little "putt-putts." They ride scooters because they are individualists. They listen to no one but themselves.
