Jan Sales

Tank Touring 150 Test

Retro 150cc

Valentine Day Sale

January finished off strong with Strada and Tank sales leading the way. Sales have been strong for the new year mostly due to the mild winter the Northeast has had up to this point. Along with the Starda line of 50cc - 150cc plus the Tank Touring 150 our new Retro Sport 150cc from Verucci have all shown promising results for the new year. The Verucci Retro Sport 150cc has been a hit with the ladies due to its Vespa styling and low profile that makes it easily managed veruses the bigger Strada Chrome Edition that most male customers seem to desire. Scootertronics Vento line is slow moving this year with most sales to the more experience scooter rider with Vento being the most known plus being built mainly in the USA in Texas. The Vento line brings the most upgrades that come stock like the high performance exhaust that adds that only speed but better gas mileage.

With Scootertronics picking the CA based Tank Touring we were able to get this scooter delivered very easily and in tac plus assembled in 45 minutes and on the road for our required testing before selling any scooter.

Because the tank Touring needs more assembly than most scooters this is an area we feel needs to be easy for our customers. The first thing we noticed were the lack of assembly instructions, although not a problem for us not a good thing for Tank or our customers. We have taken the time to write our own assembly instructions as we do for all our scooters no matter how much assembly is required. Once assembled it was time for starting after battery was fully charged which is a step most customers fail to do and a costly one. The Tank Touring fired right up with its upgarded fuel delivery system which is an advantage over most scooters. Once on the road it handled well at low speeds up to 50mph. The get up and go is lacking only due to the weight. Once over 50 the scooter seemed to handle rough and takes  more control by the rider than a Starda or Verucci 150 plus much more than a Vento scooter its same size. Because of this we will recommend only experienced riders take on the Tank Touring. A huge plus for this scooter is the seat. Once on this scooter I easily put 100 miles on the first ride because of the comfort of the seat with excellent back support. Although not a Modesto or Vento Phantom the Tank Touring will please alot of people. If more speed is needed than we would go with a Starda RX260 or Vento Phantera GT5 150cc Scooter. With the new Avanti line coming the Tank will need to address its handling above 50mph.

Scootertronics is now offering the Verucci Retro Sport 150cc scooter. With its low profile and Vespa look it is a most appealing scooter. Colors are very pretty being metallic and pastel. Along with our very fast Classic Euro Retro GT the Verucci Retro 150 Sport fills a void left for the more retro minded adults being mostly for the ladies than anyone else hence the colors we are offering.

During the month of Feb as with all months there will be a theme sale of Red Scooters plus helmets to celebrate Valentines Day for all the sweethearts and of course eveyone is a sweetheart to someone.

For March we will go with Green scooters for St Patricks Day. More to come for March.
