Winter Park, Fla. – Ride Green Scooters, based in Winter Park, has been named the exclusive Central Florida area dealer for Puma Cycles, the California based manufacturer whose retro designs and dependable fuel efficient engines rank it among the fastest growing scooter makers in the U.S.
Brian Schwartz, general manager and chief executive officer of Ride Green Scooters, said Puma Cycle’s Scooters are manufactured in China and come with an iron-clad one year unlimited mileage engine parts warranty.
“Puma’s 50 cc, 150 cc and 250 cc motor scooters are absolutely gorgeous,” Schwartz said. “The Romeo and Songbird models have a retro design that looks like a cross between a scooter and a chopper, and we think it’s going to be one of our biggest sellers,” Schwartz said. “As soon as people see a few of them out on the street, we’re going to be swamped.”
That’s an easy claim for Schwartz to make. Ride Green’s showroom is already swamped, he said. Ride Green recently expanded to new facilities on West Fairbanks Avenue.
“Our scooter sales during the first quarter are up more than 300 percent over the same period last year,” Schwartz said. Schwartz added that he expects a jump on sales every time there’s a rise in gas prices. Gasoline fueled scooters can average well over 100 miles per gallon and electric scooters — Ride Green stocks more than a dozen styles — rate even higher.
Schwartz said scooter sales are so high nationwide that he has trouble keeping some of the most popular styles and colors in stock.
“We’ve had a couple of periods when our inventory got dangerously low,” Schwartz said. “We’ve been ordering months in advance for most of the past year just to keep up with demand.”

Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty Offers New Incentive in Investor Sale of Lake County Home Sites: Prepaid School, Transportation Impacts
ORLANDO, Fla. --- Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty is offering a new incentive on the sale of 84 investor/builder home sites in three desirable Lake County communities: prepaid transportation and school impact fees.
Roger Soderstrom, founder and owner of Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty, said in addition to the lots being sharply discounted, pre-paid impact fees are also being offered as an unusual marketing incentive that will appeal to builders and investors.
“Transportation and school impact fees can total as much as $11,513 per home site and that can add dramatically to the cost of a new home,” Soderstrom said.
Altogether, Stirling Sotheby’s is marketing six finished home sites at Addison Place, located off Wolf Branch Rd. at Wolf Ridge Lane in Mount Dora; 58 finished home sites at Grand Island Oaks, located off S.R. 44 at Chain of Lakes Rd. in Grand Island; and 20 finished home sites at Sleepy Hollow, located south of S.R. 44 on Sleepy Hollow Rd. in Leesburg.
“All three established neighborhoods are in excellent locations, and these home sites represent an excellent private investment and even more valuable inventory for an established home builder,” said Troy Fletcher, the Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty agent representing the property.
Showcase Homes of Florida is the seller.
Fletcher said Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty is offering the finished home sites in bulk or by community.
“These home sites were initially offered with pricing that was discounted by 40 percent,” Soderstrom said. “The seller is now discounting the prices even further to make them available for immediate sale,” he said.
“I don’t know of another offering in the Leesburg Chain of Lakes region that promises a better deal for a home builder or an investor,” Fletcher said.
