The Scooter Apocalypse is upon us as Sears finally get's in bed with Baja ( didn't they just pay EPA a $5 million dollar fine for selling crap that was illegal ) now I know for a fact Sears does not have a dealers license for every location in Florida and this type of sale is illagal in several states, they can't service these nor do they have parts in stock. Baja has a terrible service policy. On assignment for Guidos Powersports Blog -

In case you missed it we know Baja is run by some people with lots of integrity since they would never knowingly sell cheap stuff and not provide warranty on site, I mean when you think of quality you think of Baja Right?

Sears was once the centerpiece of Vespa scooters in America. What happened? How have the mighty fallen so far? I mean I understand Walmart doing this cheap Chinese scooter thing but SEARS?

Just another sign of the times....

In case you missed it:
Last April Pep Boys has agreed to pay $5 million in civil penalties thank to its association with Baja Motorsports. The company had to agree to take corrective measures to settle claims that it violated the federal Clean Air Act by importing and selling Chinese motorcycles, ATVs and generators that do not comply with environmental requirements, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Justice Department announced Monday.

Baja Inc., which supplied the non-compliant vehicles to Pep Boys, is also settling with the U.S., according to the Justice Department.

"Importers of foreign-made vehicles and engines must comply with the same Clean Air Act requirements that apply to those selling domestic products, and this settlement demonstrates that we will take strong action to ensure that importers comply with their obligations," said Ignacia S. Moreno, Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division. "Under this settlement Pep Boys and Baja will not only pay a civil penalty, but will offset the excess emissions from the vehicles and engines already sold and take steps that go beyond what the law requires to ensure that their future imports and sales meet Clean Air Act standards."

This is the largest vehicle and engine importation case brought by the United States to date under the Clean Air Act, both in number of vehicles and engines imported and penalty paid. The complaint, filed simultaneously with the settlement in federal court in the District of Columbia, alleges that Pep Boys and Baja imported and sold at least 241,000 illegal vehicles and engines from 2004 through 2009.

The agreement requires Pep Boys to export or destroy over 1,300 non-compliant vehicles and engines, and to mitigate the adverse environmental effects of equipment already sold to consumers, estimated at 620 tons of excess hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide emissions, and more than 6,520 tons of excess carbon monoxide emissions. Under the settlement, Pep Boys will implement projects to offset the excess emissions including offering discounted push or electric lawn mowers in exchange for older more polluting gas-powered mowers.

The complaint alleges that at least 45 vehicle and generator models imported and sold by Pep Boys and Baja were not certified to meet federal emission standards, and that Pep Boys failed to provide purchasers with the full emission-system warranty required by the Clean Air Act, and imported and sold vehicles and engines without the proper emission control information labels.

The vehicles and engines were built by more than 35 different manufacturers in China. EPA and U.S. Customs & Border Protection discovered the violations through inspections conducted at Pep Boys stores, at U.S. ports, and through a review of importation documents the company provided to EPA.

The settlement also requires Pep Boys and Baja to offer a free extended emission warranty on certain vehicle and engine models, to reimburse consumers for emission-related repair expenses, and to implement rigorous corporate compliance plans. Baja also agreed to pay a penalty of $25,000, an amount that was reduced substantially in light of Baja's current financial condition.

The settlement is part of an ongoing effort by EPA to ensure that all imported vehicles and engines comply with Clean Air Act requirements. Pep Boys is a national automotive aftermarket and service chain with annual sales of $1.9 billion. The company operates more than 580 stores in 35 states and Puerto Rico. In 2008, the company, based in Philadelphia, was the third largest importer of Chinese-made all terrain vehicles (ATVs) in the United States. In 2006 and 2007, Pep Boys was the fourth largest importer of generators.

Baja, based in Phoenix, contracts with Chinese manufacturers to supply ATVs and motorcycles to Pep Boys and others. Baja also manages all after-sale functions, including servicing warranty claims and providing replacement parts for these vehicles.

Gas prices are going up.

I just drove by my local gas station and it's $2.95 for regular gas in Miami. It's November and hopefully by the end of the month it will be well over $3. Why do I think this is a good thing? We'll for starters it means people will start flocking to scooter dealerships again since our business is directly proportional to the price of gas. Every year be it 2003, 2005, 2008 higher gas prices equal a rise in sales.

The national average price of unleaded regular gasoline is $2.89 per gallon, 5 cents more than last week. Florida’s average price of $2.87, my local average here in Miami about $2.90. I check http://www.fuelgaugereport.com/ every week to see where we're at and let me tell you the trend thanks to the Fed's move in pumping all this cash into the system means gas prices will go up ( on a side note it would have been better to lend this money to small companies instead of making the dollar worth less ) This time around I hope stores will listen to my advice. Don't go crazy buying inventory unless you see sales, and don't forward commit to 200 scooters you can't sell. Focus on building your store and P&A. That way if its a momentary spike you will stay in business.

So gear up, promote, and get those save money on gas signs ready because gas prices could easily hit $3.50 in a few weeks and a new semester of college starts in January. Your competition is gone, now is the time to Attack ( see previous blog)

It's like a time warp, but it couldn't have happened at a better time since the Powersports industry really needs gas to hit $3.5 to make up for one of the worst summers in history after a dreadful 2009 where prices were kept artificially low to spur the US economy. Hopefully this time around the crazy investors and private label fly by night guys won't run into the business to open 200 scooter shops again, but I can already see the phone calls when gas hits $3.90 "hi my name is so and so and I lead an investment firm from bla could you tell us about 4 or 5 companies we could purchase to make one mega scooter company we got ten million available to us," to which I reply "sure send me a free first class ticket and we'll talk in person." It happens every two to three years. They come out of the gutter like the zombies in The Walking Dead. You can't stop these guys you just have to learn to live with them. It's like all the investors pumping money into electric scooter company start ups which are doomed to fail since there is no consumer demand yet.

Gas prices going up are good for most of the dealers and if you outlived your competition then take advantage of it. Put up a sign next to that gas station on the corner "REMEMBER 2008? MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SCOOTER." Also, don't fall in the electric trap since many of these start up are pushing vehicles that don't work and this will be the next big bust. You are probably better off sticking to gas powered vehicles. Products like Vectrix work, but they have to be half the price for consumers to accept them. In the meantime leave it to development councils and city councilmen to keep investing in electric start-ups that are doomed to fail. I will write more about this later.
