Gas scooters have been a favorite form of affordable
transportation in European countries for decades. The low-power
vehicle wasn't that attractive to the power-hungry American
market until recently. Sleek styling of the modern scooter
combined with the product being seen in a variety of films has
opened the door to the American urban market. Increasing
gasoline prices has added to the small vehicle's appeal.
Competition among scooter manufacturers and continuing sales has
led to unique design features, such as miniature, low-powered,
Harley-Davidson style motorcycles. The smaller version of the
grown-up bike has made it a choice ride for older children,
leading to the scrutiny of police departments and parent groups.
Gas scooters are considered low-power motor vehicles by many
municipalities and are subject to state and local regulations.
Some scooters meet Department of Transportation regulations for
operation on streets and roadways while others are prohibited
from being on the streets. Any time a motorized vehicle is
introduced into traffic areas, appropriate cautionary measures
must be taken and proper safety gear must be worn.
Scooters can be easily found in the retail market, however not
all retailers may carry all styles. Major discount or department
stores may only carry a couple of models that they believe will
be the most popular among their shoppers. A scooter store could
specialize in a variety of recreational scooters with gas or
electric engines. Many motorcycle retailers will also offer some
gas scooters alongside traditional motorcycles. Retailers also
offer scooter accessories to enhance the riding experience as
well as replacement parts and service.
Any style of scooter can be purchased online for retail pricing.
The current market demand for scooters makes it hard to find
them at wholesale prices for a single purchase, but there are
many opportunities for an individual to become a scooter dealer.
