Scooters coming to Nac soon!

Q: Why should you zip around town on a scooter?

A:

Currently, the United States consumes more than 25 % of the world’s total supply of oil. If as Americans, we were to switch just 10% of our total mileage to scooters, we would save roughly 28 million on gas and consume 14 million gallons less fuel per day (based on $2.00 per gallon of gasoline).

Carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced 324 million pounds per day by just switching 10 % of our total annual mileage to a scooter.

Not only can you reduce your carbon footprint by driving a scooter, you can also reduce your parking footprint. Up to seven scooters can be parked in an area reserved for automobile parking.

A scooter is the smart alternative transportation choice for taking short trips, commuting to school or work, running errands or making deliveries. We can reduce traffic congestion, reign in our need for foreign oil, cut back on air emissions, and maximize parking usage by using a scooter as an alternative transportation. And have fun doing it.
