is fast becoming populated with scooters. It is becoming well known
that scooters are a practical form of transportation and make for a
great alternative vehicle mainly because of rising fuel prices.
As the scooter industry develops the quality will become more
consistent and the variety of two wheeled and three wheeled vehicles
will become more wide spread.
