escúter: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el término "escúter" es la adaptación en español del anglicismo "scooter". [...] Respecto al género gramatical de esta palabra, el diccionario académico señala que puede usarse indistintamente como masculina o femenina [...] Por otro lado, se recuerda que "escúter" forma el plural regular siguiendo las pautas morfológicas del español: "escúteres", no "escúters". 3, record 1, Spanish, - esc%C3%BAter
