It's a sad trend in the industry when we are down to three magazines for dealers MPN, Dealer News, and Powersports Business. Scooter dealers only count on Scoot but its mostly geared towards the consumers. It's really not a consumers magazine place to educate dealers about how to run a better shop or let you know which distributor has closed, but from time to time it happens. Still I think we've gotten...

Why It's Important To Wear More Than Just A Helmet On Your Scooter ARMADILLO SCOOTER WEAR
By Rob HuddlestoneReprinted from FreeArticle ZineARMADILLOIt is often said that it is of the utmost importance to wear the correct protection if you are riding a motorbike, though you don’t ever hear the same said about those on scooter. With traffic levels on our roads increasing, it is more important than ever for the modern scoorterist to be both stylish and safe on the roads. Personal safety is obviously more important than...
Dealers need to show they care.
Caring about your buyers also involves helping those that don't drive the brands you sell. My word of advice for new shops and older shops is take advantage of all the brands that have left the market by offering service to those customers.In this evolving economy the difference between a scooter shop that cares and one that doesn't is more evident than ever. If someone comes into the shop with a...

Visiting a Top Dealer The Skoot Skate Bike!
Why are they so good at making repairs? What is the secret?Why do stores with ten times the employees, ten times the size and bigger brands fail and these guys grow? Because the owner advertises that he REPAIRS EVERYTHING. His adds feature all the brands even the ones he doesn't carry and his mechanics call / visit MRP once a week.That's right. Look up the newspaper and online ads and they read "...
How some stores are successful and others fail
How some stores are successful and others failIn the past two years we've watched over 500 retailers close in the US market. Many of them failed for good reason. They did not offer to repair other brands or models other than the ones they sold. Simply put in a city like Miami the way to make money is not just to have a repair shop, but to advertise you repair it all. Darren the owner of Skoot Skate...

Mario Andretti didn't get paid thats why he doesn't care
Alright he didn't paid either so thats why he doesn't care.Ok, I take that back looking online I realized Mario Andretti doesn't care if your bike explodes or catches on fire because he sued Powersports Factory as well, so more than likely he's upset about this to. Not only is it defective he didn't get paid. THIS IS ALL PUBLIC RECORDOn May 16th, 2010, we were served with a suit filed by Andretti IV, LLC, which has licensed to...
