Scooter Adventures 2012 with the Scooter Maven

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-lTt32uDfU


What does the Scooter Maven do exactly? I get that question all the time. 

The Scooter Maven is on journey to see the art of transportation that are scooters all over the world. From the factory floor where they are made, to the dealerships in different countries, to the average rider who uses it for transportation, racing, and just plain fun.

No brand is too small, no company to weird to not get a comment from the Maven. From Aprilia to Zongshen we cover all the brands. If we don't sell parts for it we will find someone who does. From Adly to Vespa, from China to Italy and all over America you are live with the Scooter Maven. Submit your questions.

Join us as we recap the best episodes from 2012 as The Scooter Maven prepares for another adventure!



A good story that could work for Scooters

Just saw this on CNN and it was pretty cool.

Actually makes sense. http://whatsnext.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/17/meet-the-inflatable-invisible-bike-helmet/?hpt=hp_c2

Best marketing idea of last few years KYMCO USA

Watch "KYMCO Full Throttle Scooters" on YouTube

I have to give it to these guys for coming up with a cost effective idea that reaches out to middle America. The guys at Kymco USA get it.

GoCar Tours

If you have never tried one of these guys I suggest you do. Go Car is a fun way to get around town even if you're a local like I am in Miami.

I figured it was about time we made a video on them and we had a blast testing them out.

Enjoy

CF MOTO GETTING OUT OF SCOOTERS

Just saw this article in Powersports Business, http://www.powersportsbusiness.com/top-stories/2012/07/09/were-here-to-stay/

About CF MOTO USA being here to stay. The truth is they are pulling out of the scooter business for the USA. Its terrible for anyone who was a Scooter Only dealer that was taking on the line. Its a real shame, we continue to import certain CF MOTO parts, but without new models it makes no sense to push a brand that basically did a terrific job when they started and couldn't stand the fire so got out. I've reached out to CF MOTO about helping with this situation because I feel they are falling into the same trap many Chinese distributors have fallen into being that they stop supporting old models. Dealers shouldn't have to order entire carbs or engines if they need one small part. Thats what happens as you start scaling back on models.

Building a brand isn't about cutting your looses sometimes its about staying the course. One of the things that makes Honda great is third party support. Companies endorse Honda because they can make the same accessories for Honda over and over again. Being that I run a third party parts supplier I spent a lot of time promoting CF MOTO with the former US President Lev and marketing guys from Matt Clayton to sales reps. I think Matt is probably one of the smartest guys in the business if only they would listen to him more often.

I know they just hired two new heads for the company formerly of Polaris, but I haven't been able to get a hold of anyone. I think CF MOTO still has the potential to be one of the great brands should they try. The Z6 despite being promised one and attempting to buy one to develop parts we couldn't find one in South Florida for the last two years.

I know Matt has tried for us and many other dealers, but its terrible when the message gets lost in translation somewhere.

In the meantime being that MRP acquired two if the CF MOTO private label importers we have a lot of UTV and Scooter parts to sell. So we want CF MOTO to do well in the states. The question is how do you help another brand that is pulling back?

Scooter Apocalypse! Every Year we see this story

Every year we see the same story and only in America can we make something so ridiculous mainstream news.

http://www.wtsp.com/news/local/article/267593/8/Deputies-issue-warning-after-scooter-theft-spike

The Scooter Maven Says Buy a Lock!
 Then again my Scooter Doctor character has spoken about this several times.

I love the part where the newscaster says this is grand theft auto, technically it is. However, most judges in Florida will dismiss the case if the scooter isnt worth more than $600. So make sure no matter what you tell the court its a thousand dollar or more vehicle. The judge might not think its a vehicle if you tell him you purchased a 50cc $350 scooter. If someone steals at Tao Tao or Peace good luck to them, probably wont make it to far, but its a social tragedy when I hear an $3,000 Aprilia or Kymco got stolen.

TAMPA, Florida -- As gas prices around the Tampa Bay area again creep closer to the $4 mark, a crime trend is rising along with them. 
Hillsborough County deputies say scooter thefts have soared since January, around the first time this year the pain at the pump increased.
Mike Ferguson knows how frustrating it can be. A few weeks ago he woke up to find his only mode of transportation, his scooter, had vanished. It left him with no way to get to work.
"At first it was shock.  I couldn't believe that it happened," Ferguson described.
Despite overall crime being down 5.5% in the first part of 2012, Hillsborough deputies say scooter and motorcycle thefts are up 10%.More than 30 have been ripped off from the northern part of the county alone.
Investigators say they're being taken from apartment complexes, strip malls, even front porches. They tell 10 News the thieves are mostly teens or young adults using them to joyride or as transportation.
"They are a target of opportunity.  They are smaller, so not a lot of people are looking out for folks trying to mess around with scooters and take them," said Cpl. Doug White, with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies say locks and alarms are available for less than $100.
In a shopping center, they advise to look for surveillance cameras and park near them.Also, they say it's important to register a scooter, so it's much easier to track down if it gets stolen.
Deputies have placed several electronic message boards around the county to warn drivers of the trend.
"Most of these, if not all so far that we've experienced this year, are preventable," said Lt. Rick Jahnke, with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
In Ferguson's case, his ride was returned, thanks to some good police work. But not without $800 in damage.
"I would say definitely get some security measures," he cautioned.
Deputies say they have made a handful of arrests. Because of the value, they say stealing a scooter is considered grand theft auto.
