Need to buy a scooter?

A few folks from Estes Park have asked me to find/"buy" scooters on their behalf, and I can do this.
If you would like advice on which brands to buy, tips on how to find the right scooter for you, or someone to check on a scooter you are interested in buying, just give me a call and we'll talk about it.

Scooter buying tip #1. Stick to the popular and well established brands. With the increase in scooter use in the US, more cheap import "kit" scooters have come ashore. In most cases these scooters go thru a few hands before they get to you, and the warranty gets weaker in the process.
Some reputable brands are: Vespa, Peugeot, Aprilla, Piaggio, Derby, Kimco, Honda, Yamaha and so on.

Renting LATE in the season.

I've been getting a lot of questions about renting late in the season. (last week of September into the first week of October)
Keep in mind: The weather is very unpredictable at that time of year. It could be 70f and sunny, or there could be 3ft of snow on the ground. To be prepared for such a ride, bring waterproof everything!! Gloves, jacket, pants, shoes etc.. and bring warm things to wear under your waterproof gear. Once the temps get below 58f, it's not too fun to ride in a Tshirt and jeans.

Last season, ZootScoot closed in Mid September because of cold rainy weather. '

I advise that no one should plan to rent a scooter as a sole source of transportation at that time. If the weather stinks, I won't be open.
