Spring has taken its' sweet time ariving this year but that hasn't seemed to matter too much to people in the market for scooters. The return of four dollar gas and a vast improvement in the economy has gotten people's minds focused on the scooter as an alternative transportation mode once again. Customers ask why they see so many scooters when they visit Europe and Asia. The answer is simple. The combination of high fuel prices and urban congestion make the scooter the ultimate transportation alternative.
It's an especially exciting year for scooters with several new models poised to shake things up.
