Scooter Commuter News

Scootertronics has shipments coming every week now same as always with some BOs coming in also along with the Fly Scooters we have added to take the place of lower quality scooters that were offered. We have replace some and drop several others to offer the best we can. Just getting tried of chasing the price war that goes on when selling on the internet. This I will not do and will get away from it if possible. By simply offering scooters that only a lcal shop can offer this will keep scootertronics a cut above all others if not way above any other dealer.

Our Metro Duos and Retro 16s are due in the next 2-4 weeks. With the amount of BOs it will take this long to get them in and prepped and shipped out.

We are getting Sport Rs and two stroke M80s plus Vento and Keeway in the next two weeks. Along with these we have some BMC Apachees that we are doing upgrades for top speed.

We hope all customers can be patient while we fill the orders that have been placed.

Thanks Michael

Slow Delivery

The last two months has been very hard to even get scooters much less ship them to customers. Linhai has been good but slow just due to volume but all our 50cc have been slow to even get them but there is good news must scooters are now arriving from overseas but when the get here they still have to ship to us before we can ship to our customers which will take 10-14 business days for customers to recieve a scooter.

 With gas prices the way they are this back log will take most of July to clear not counting all the scooters that will be ordered a5t that time. A lot of the timing is affected by midwest floods, power outage in the east, gas prices in the south, storms that knock our power for days all of these happen and are happening every day. Its funny I watch the weather to see when my scooters will arrive, I learned this last Feb/March with snow storms in Ohio trying to get Vog 260s out, it snowed and delayed everything two weeks. Same thing happening now, China does not ship because of some act of nature scooters are shipped two weeks later plus now the big one, China full fills Europen orders first every year USA second because USA did not care about scooters till now. Thats what everyone does not plan for and never orders or trys to make sure they stock at this time of year come Nov they will try to give away scooters everyone will drop prices then sell out and not get more till the following summer. We were stocked up till June but sold out in April and no one we buy from except Linhai have had any scooters at all. Most of our distributors will no longer be our distributors is the way I am going I am tried of fighting the cheap chinese scooter problems and will drop every scooter that is not supported the way I think it should be period. I will however add the best and offer only the best from now on.

Botton line please bear with us while we fill all orders as fast as we can, it has been over welming with the amount of total orders that I hired more people bought more product and work 14 hours a day everyday.

Well Maryland and DC finally got some of the crazy storms that have popping up on hot after noons all acros the country. So we got one of those knock out all your power and stuff. This year sure has been a crazy one with all the orders for parts and high performance parts. I figure on such but never the amount it turned out to be. With more and more of the GY 6 scooters out there the more people want to make them better and we have found many ways to make it happen with kits and exhaust plus clutches.

The Vog 260 is back for about a two week period online. All colors are in and it takes about 10-14 business days to recieve a prepped scooter. We do suggest we have decieded to change fluids in alot of the bikes lately after finding some strange stuff in a few CF Motos and Linhais so we are making sure Vogs are good also.

Scootertronics is making way to catch in June with our scooters that are on BO for the last month and want to thank our customers for waiting.

We have changed alot about what we are doing this last month by adding custom hop ups done before delivery and basically these will scootertronics model and all that we sell. We are not just trying to see how many scooters we can sell but how many good ones that really help people out.

Vog 260 Touring Scooter

 The Vog 260 is back in stock and ready to be ordered in all colors. This will be a very short run of scooters with them selling out quickly, there are a few others trying to buy al lthese up that will not offer service scootertronics does so beware who you are buying from.

 Number of Orders

Scootertronics has experienced a huge number of orders in the last two months with everything from every scooter we offer to every part and high perfomance upgrade we offer also plus many more scooters getting upgrades before they are delivered. Most of all our local sales are taking all of our stock unlike the past. Now all this madness for everything scooter is due to gas prices and getting out of hand everyone is scrambling to get a scooter or fix or upgrade. My best advice is wait for what you want and do not buy just to get something you will be disappointed and maybe have only one chance to secure a scooter this year.

With all that said we are gwtting products out and filling all orders for all of our products just some are taking longer to deliver due to back log of scooter orders and when they are getting to us from China and the distributors we buy from which we are changing at this point to more reliable scooters with better support than the regular models you see everywhere.

Scootertronics main vendors are

• Linhai
• CF Moto
• MRP Martin Racing
• Xinguye
• JMStar/Jonway/Red Streak
• MC Stuff
• Motorcycle Carbs
• Romaha

Looks like June will be the month we are able to restock and offer more models, with the Linhai 150 with the 16 inch wheels like our ITA 150 that is selling well the Linhai will be and has already started to be a good seller with no specs out yet we know its a good scooter and thats all our customers need to know to secure a reliable scooter from a reliable shop. Along with Linhai Retro 150 model we are also going to bring the Linahi 50 to our shop and sell from there for our local customers and sell this one with a year labor warranty for 1299.
