BYU NewsNet – Scooters Come in Style: “‘Whenever it’s not raining and the sun is out, I’m on my scooter,’ said Scott McShane, a BYU senior.

Students are finding that with front row parking on campus and an average of 60 to 100 miles per gallon, scooters are a fun and economical choice for the summer.

‘The parking on campus is 10 times better with a scooter,’ McShane said.

Now that Y parking is free on campus, McShane said he is able to park his scooter close to his classes.

In addition to the close parking, McShane and other students save money overall by using a scooter.

‘What I pay as a payment on my scooter every month, is money I save on gas,’ said Kirsten Jolley, a freshman at BYU, starting fall of 2006.

According to the assistant manager of The Scooter Lounge, Kent Pyne, scooters sales are up 20 percent from last year.

‘People are noticing scooters more and they realize how fun they are,’ he said. ‘Half of our referrals are from other customers.’”
