I have noticed that the selection of scooters that the online dealers have is getting a bit thin. Are there new batches of scooters in the shipment pipeline, and if so, where in the pipeline are they?

I believe that sales are ebbing. Cheap gas and tougher DMV regulations thinned the herd. Most of the quick-buck, fly by night importers have moved on or are awaiting "the next big thing". |

Many bought mo-peds thinking they didn't need a drivers license and then found out different. So now the market isn't there anymore. Unfortunately most of these weren't properly set-up so are now non-running. And the owners want what they paid for them.

And the owners want what they paid for them. And some of those fools want even more than they paid and more than a brand new one today! I see that all the time, a 08' 50cc with 500 miles listed for a grand or more and it only needs a little work to get it running again! |

While the standard scooter market may seem to be cooling off a bit, the mobility scooter market is full steam ahead, probably thanks to our growing elderly population. There are some mean looking mobility scooters on the market now, scroll down the page on this link to see some of them, gonna be some bad-arse grandpas out there! www.ebay.com/itm/like/251761797605?lpid=82&chn=ps |
