Scooters are Eco-Friendly
Higher gasoline prices have boosted sales of motorcycles and scooters according to Chris Geiger, salesman/floor manager at State 8 Motorcycle & ATV in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, as reported in the April 21, 2006, online edition of the Akron (Ohio) Beacon Journal (http://www.ohio.com/mld/beaconjournal/14394737.htm).
"A lot of people who weren't riding are thinking about it now,'' Geiger said. "It used to be middle-aged guys and girls. Now, it's pretty much everybody.''
A fun, practical and eco-friendly way of getting around, savings at the gas pump are driving a booming scooter market across the country.
"The savings are phenomenal. The scooter pays for itself in the amount of gas you save," said Judy Spicer, manager Vespa of Edwardsville (Illinois), in a May 7, 2006 article from the Edwardsville Intelligencer (http://www.goedwardsville.com).
With small scooters getting 60 to 80 miles per gallon on regular unleaded gas, scooters are extremely eco-friendly. Vernon Carver, owner of Vespa of Edwardsville, notes:
“According to the Vespa company, if Americans were to utilize one of the latest eco-friendly motor scooters available in the market today, they would, on average, reduce their fuel consumption by 58 percent, emission of carbon monoxide by 90 percent and emission of carbon dioxide by 80 percent.”
