A motor scooter is a friendly drawing because it is built from simple shapes: circles for the wheels, a rounded loaf for the seat, and a tall curved panel in front. You will draw it from the side, which makes every part easy to see. Take your time with the big body first, and the little details will fall into place.

How to Draw a Motor Scooter · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Back body curve
On the left, draw a curved line that starts near the top, bends down the left side, and rolls into a flat bottom going right. It looks like a big letter C lying open on the right.
Step 2: Seat and front edge
On top of the body curve, draw a long flat seat shaped like a rounded loaf, and close it with a straight line along its bottom. Then, far on the right, draw a tall, slightly curved line going down.
Step 3: Floorboard
Draw a straight line down from the right end of the seat. At its bottom, draw a flat box for the floorboard with a slanted right end, then add a short line from the box to the tall line on the right.
Step 4: Front panel
Between the floorboard and the tall right line, draw a short flat line across the top. Then curve a line from its left end down to the floorboard to make the front panel.
Step 5: Both wheels
Draw a circle under the left end of the body for the back wheel, and a circle at the bottom right for the front wheel. Put a small circle in the middle of each one for the hub.
Step 6: Handlebar
On top of the front panel, draw a short stem going up. Add a short bar across the top with a tiny loop at its left end for the handle.
Step 7: Headlight
On the upper right edge of the front panel, draw a round headlight. Add a smaller circle inside it.
Step 8: Fender and vents
Draw a curved arc over the front wheel for the fender, and a tiny line above the back wheel. Then draw three short, flat lines, one above the other, on the body for air vents.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a motor scooter
- Draw the big rounded body first and leave space on the right, so the front panel and wheel fit without squeezing.
- The seat can be the trickiest part. Draw a long loaf shape first, then close the bottom with one straight line.
- Make both wheels about the same size, and trace around a coin or a lid if your circles come out wobbly.
