What's the main difference between a scooter and a motorcycle?
Although they are both vehicles for transportation, they are different in how they are used. Motorcycles are hard to ride but can drive at high speeds and have large engines. On the other hand, scooters are cheaper, more fuel-efficient, and easier to maneuver. Riders who are looking for speed and power may prefer motorcycles, whereas people who are looking for an easy commuting option may prefer scooters. Ex: The rider raced by loudly on his motorcycle. Ex: I've been seeing more and more people commute by scooter in my city.

Why "Restaurant" doesn't have "s" and "article"?
"Restaurant" is not plural here because it is referring to a single type of restaurant, however this implies that there can be multiple restaurants within that one type. "Restaurant" in this case does have an article, but the article is placed before "type of" in this sentence because "type of restaurant" is all one noun here. The definite article "the" is used here to show refer to these kind of restaurants in general.
