Ride Green Scooters to Participate in Full Sail University Networking Seminar

WINTER PARK, Fla. Ride Green Scooters, the Winter Park dealership that specializes in low-cost, high mileage gas and electric scooters for commuters, will participate in a Full Sail University networking seminar Feb. 23 from 6 to 8 p.m.

Brian Schwartz, general manager at Ride Green Scooters, said the networking seminar offers his company the opportunity to market its advantages to a large group of potential customers.

“Students and professionals in the creative community are prime customers for energy efficient transportation alternatives,” Schwartz said.

“As a group, they are more aware of the environment and typically they are more cost conscious as well, Schwartz said.

Ride Green Scooters, located on Fairbanks Ave. in Winter Park, sells scooters priced from $900 to more than $2,000 that boast average mileage that ranges from 50 miles per battery charge on the electric models to over 85 miles per gallon on the gas powered scooters.

Climbing Gas Prices Push Demand For Fuel-Efficient Scooters

WINTER PARK - Every time a news outlet breaks the news that gasoline prices have risen again, six to eight new customers visit Ride Green Scooters in Winter Park.

“It’s like clockwork anymore,” said Brian Schwartz, who opened Ride Green Scooters on Fairbanks Ave. two years ago. “The fear of increased transportation costs drive customers to our dealership, in hopes of saving money in a down economy.”

Schwartz specializes in sales of fuel-efficient transportation that comes with more frills than you would expect and one or two thrills in the bargain.

“We sell scooters that get up to 100 miles per gallon and we sell scooters that will cruise all day at 75 miles per hour or better,” Schwartz said.

Smaller scooters have an added advantage, Schwartz said. With less than a 50 cc engine displacement, they don’t require a motorcycle endorsement to operate on city streets and county roads.

“In addition to the gas powered scooters, Ride Green offers a new DUI Scooter – which is fully electric and does not require any driver’s license.

“Workers who have lost their license and can’t match their work schedule with the bus schedule have a way to commute to their jobs conveniently and economically,” Schwartz explained.

Schwartz said news about gasoline prices create the most demand for his scooters.

“Prices are projected to hit $4 a gallon this summer and maybe as high as $5,” Schwartz said.

“Gasoline in the U.S. is approaching the cost of petrol in Europe and Asia, where most people ride scooters as their principal means of transportation,” he said.

Schwartz said energy-efficient scooters are better for the environment than full-sized automobiles and he can go that one better.

“Electric scooters offer excellent driving range, easy recharge and fuel efficiency that’s equivalent to more than 110 miles per gallon,” he added.

Ride Green Scooters is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and Sunday by appointment at 671 W. Fairbanks Ave., Winter Park. Visit www.ridegreenscooters.com.
