Why the MRP Ruckus Variator is the best for racing!
Why the MRP Ruckus Variator is the best for racing!
One of the top custom builders from the USA comes and visits us here at MRP and explains why our variators in his opinion are the best.
What happens when you flood the US market?
Many of the Chinese factories that are now hurting are having a hard time because of their own actions. This is my case study to respond to many of the emails I've received including from my Motorcycle Product News article and the Scooter Scoop ( make sure to visit them the Scooter Scoop.com ) let's take a look at CF MOTO. The US management had the right idea all along about building a brand, but the Chinese management flooded the market with private label. What are the results? It just makes it more difficult for the company to compete when its competing with itself with Diamo, TNG, Qlink and others.... Markets don't have unlimited capacity they have demand that can be measured so the Chinese way of producing and supplying more than the market can take has lead to the US drop in sales and prices.

Andretti Scooters PSPFE - PSPF faces Federal Investigation!
Click on this link to see the story on Mario Andretti's famous scooter brand Powersports Factory - PSF Faces Federal Investigation.
Finally someone in the media broke the story, it's funny how Dealer News ( owned by Advanstar wouldn't talk about the leaky fuel tanks ) probably because Dealer News is owed $50,000 by Powersports Factory, so thanks to the bad economy we also have irresponsible Media in this country now.
I for one know that no magazine in this day in age in the Powersports Industry really wants to talk issues unless its a press release they are printing so its sad its come to this, but I'm glad Guido did some investigating. Please click the link to see the Explosive story. We need to be responsible as an industry and I know Mario is owed a ton of money, but who cares???
What he needs to be doing is working to get these tanks fixed and the bikes off the road not worrying about the licensing money he didn't get. Same goes for Dealer News they should have been the first to investigate and they didn't. Seems like people look the other way when they are owed a ton of cash. The last thing you want is a leaky fuel tank on a thousand bikes out there with your name on them. Everyone click on Guidos Blog now and read the latest info on the story.

My favorite part from the article which I guess is public knowledge is how they keep changing names and offices "PSF on Sept. 1 announced a plan to delist from the OTCBB. On Sept. 2 the company announced a move to change its ticker symbol from PSPFE to PSPF"

US Scooter Stores can now offer the best in Shock Absorption Tech Armadillo
US Scooter Stores can now offer the best in Shock Absorption Tech Armadillo the only scooter gear available in America with D30
by James Materson
It is common knowledge that anyone riding a scooter should wear a helmet for obvious safety reasons. What is less talked about is the importance of wearing protective scooter jackets to protect the scooterist in the event of a fall. Well there is great news for scooterists because many modern scooter jackets are now equipped with a new shock absorption system which allows scooter jackets to offer more protection than ever before.
The new shock absorption system is known as d3O. The d3O material is integrated into the jacket and they way it works is that it combines enhanced chemistry, engineering and design to produce a system which moves freely when moving slowly but which on shock locks together to absorb energy before instantly returning to its flexible state. In the event of a fall the shock will be absorbed by the d3O materials and impact will be minimised.
The d3O system has a major advantage in that it allows functionality without compromising the comfort and aesthetics of the jacket itself. Scooter wear experts, Armadillo, have embraced the new technology and have integrated d3O into their entire jacket range which all contain the 8mm d3O CE approved impact protection. This protection system is designed to be discrete in order to maintain the aesthetically pleasing nature as well as the comfort of the jackets.
The materials used in the d3O protection system have special ‘non-Newtonian’ properties. With normal Newtonian materials if you double the stress, you double the strain. However, with d3O materials the molecules are soft and flexible most of the time but if you hit them hard they instantly lock solid which dissipates the impact energy by spreading it over a larger surface area.
So as mentioned previously, the d3O system allows for fashion and comfort while not compromising on protection. With our example company, Armadillo, you are able to buy the Parka, City Rider, Camovision, Softshell Hoodie and Macintosh ranges with d3O fully integrated into them. So if you think it’s time to buy a new scooter jacket, you would be advised to make sure that the jacket has d3O shock absorption so that you are able to ride in comfort and safely, while looking good at the same time.
