Rising Gas Prices Triple Sales of Fuel-Efficient Scooters at Ride Green Scooters in Winter Park
Winter Park, Fla. --- Rising gas prices during the past 60 days have more than tripled sales at Ride Green Scooters in Winter Park.
Ron Schwartz, general manager at Ride Green Scooters, said sales topped the $50,000 mark in February.
Schwartz said the average sale price of a scooter---Ride Green Scooters sells more than a dozen different models---is about $1,000.
“That’s very economical transportation, especially when you consider that some scooters do better than 60 miles per gallon,” Schwartz said.
