Ride Green Scooters Extends Service Hours to Keep Up With Demand
WINTER PARK, Fla. - Ride Green Scooters, the new Winter Park dealership that specializes on high gas mileage, low cost scooters for cost-conscious commuters, has extended its service hours to seven days a week.
“We have seen a huge surge in maintenance and repair business since we opened,” said Brian Schwartz, a principal of the company. “Scooters are very popular in the Central Florida region, and there aren’t many service and repair resources for the Asian motor scooters,” he said.
“Ride Green Scooters also offers a 24-hour seven-day a week road service through Nation Safe Driver’s Auto Club 800-338-2680 in case of breakdowns,” Schwartz added.
Schwartz said he recently appointed Max Ogden chief mechanic at Ride Green Scooters. Ogden has more than 10 years of experience as a scooter mechanic.
