These cute kick scooters will likely be a hit to add to an existing
rental fleet or to start a new rental
revenue stream.
Bike rentals are a great seasonal income for resort and
tourist areas. Adorable scooters are fun to ride, provide a better workout than
a standard bicycle and are very rental friendly.
Push scooters use the same tires and wheels as a standard
bicycle but do not have a seat, peddles or chain and sprockets to get messed
up.
Having no chain or pedals means less maintenance and up keep
for the shop owner.
The rider stands on the platform and gently swings one foot
and leg down to propel forward.
Scooters come in all sizes so that and entire family can
rent scooters together.
With the front baskets riders can stop at shops along the
way and purchase souvenirs that they may not be able to tote back on a standard
bicycle.
Scooters are not new but not as common in the US as they are
in European countries where they have been used for years instead of a standard
bicycle.
Those looking for the exercise benefits, especially seniors
are finding that scooters are easier to mount and ride than a traditional
bicycle.
They also provide a great core work out as the body is more
in action.
By adding scooters to your rental fleet, you may find more
senior couples renting them than families.
Even seniors who have
suffered strokes are finding adult kick
scooters to be very easy to balance and ride.
Most of us as kids learned to push along on a scooter before
we graduated to a bike with training wheels.
The low center of gravity and ease to step on and off takes
the fear out of climbing back on a traditional bicycle.
Push scooters are USA Made in the Pennsylvania Dutch Amish communities,
where they are used in rental fleets in tourist towns as well as widely used by
the Amish in those communities.
You may have even seen them in use on some of the recent
Amish shows.
