All Weather Scooter Systems? Could this help increase sales? Maybe....

Besides rising fuel costs and saving money we need to get more people riding.

The biggest issue I hear is that it might rain or it might snow a little. ( On fuel costs click here for my interview yesterday at MotorcycleUSA.com )


I'm wondering why aren't more companies working on an All Weather System like Malaguti in Italy. These windshields could really help improve scooter sales in North America. In much of the world like Russia or even Japan people will ride a scooter in the snow or rain. Since in our country scooters are still in the "Toy" and "Recreational Ride" phase we need to offer some accessories like these to make sure American see it as everyday transportation.
What do you guys think? Is there a need for an All Weather System for the common Kymco / GY6 / Honda scooters out there?
