The terms two-stroke and four-stroke engines refer to the engine type on a scooter. Also known as two-cycle and four-cycle, these terms are meant to describe the combustion process that the engine uses to create power. Two-strokes engines are lubricated by burning a small amount of oil which is mixed with gas and resemble the small engines on leaf blowers.

The main difference will be that one will need to add oil to a two-stroke scooter and get oil changes periodically on a four-stroke engine.l.
