Scooters were first known as a child's vehicle that dates back
to before 1920. Although scooters were being manufactured, the
majority of older children fashioned their own out of
miscellaneous used parts. Remember the Little Rascal movies with
scooters made out of produce crates? Technology and economies
have changed since that time, allowing for today's mass produced
scooters to offer a variety models and to be sold at a
reasonably low cost.
Modern scooters not only include the push scooters that require
a little bit of exercise, but also feature electric and gas
motorized models. Advancements in technology have made way for
many physically impaired individuals to replace wheel chairs
with motorized scooters and mobility scooters. Competition among
scooter manufacturers has led to unique design features as well
as miniature low-powered motorcycles.
Motorized scooters are considered low-power motor vehicles by
many municipalities and are subject to state and local
regulations. Some scooters meet Department of Transportation
regulations for operation on streets and roadways while others
are prohibited from being on the streets. Any time a motorized
vehicle is introduced into traffic areas, appropriate cautionary
measures must be taken and proper safety gear must be worn.
Scooters can be easily found in the retail market, however not
all retailers will carry all styles. Major discount or
department stores may only carry a couple of models that they
believe will be the most popular among their shoppers. A scooter
store could specialize in a variety of recreational scooters,
while another store will specialize in the mobility scooters.
Retailers also offer scooter accessories to enhance the
experience as well as replacement parts and service. Any style
of scooter can be purchased online for retail pricing. The
current market demand for scooters makes it hard to find them at
wholesale prices for a single purchase, but there are many
opportunities for an individual to become a scooter dealer
