scooter, no clutch?

rickym

does anyone here own a scooter?
i heard that they don't have clutches, doesn't that pose a problem when shifting gears?
is it adviceable to get one? the models i've seen are getting to look better than the ones a decade ago

Most scooters that I know of are AT... I'm not much of a bike fan so I'll let the experts talk on this one.

maybe what you are referring to is the clutch handle...
may clutch ang mga scooters kaso lang walang clutch handle... centrifugal-type kasi ang clutch ng mga single-speed scooters... the clutch engages when the rpm increases thus 'automatic' ang tawag...

the clutch handle is similar to a cars clutch pedal and ang trabaho nito is to engage-disengage the clutch on-command to shift gears....

I heard of that the one with one gear and with a centrifugal clutch, this is usually the smaller scooters if i'm not mistaken, but aren't there others with several gears? do they also come with a centrifugal clutch?
