YAMAHA MOTOR CANADA | OUR COMPANY: “May 1, 2006
You might be surprised…. Based on our website traffic and dealership activities, Scooters are rapidly gaining popularity in both interest and sales. And thinking about it, why not?

Fuel is up over a buck a litre and showing no signs of leveling off for the future. New vehicle costs for cars and trucks approach that of a small mortgage and urban sprawl has more and more Canadians commuting longer distances than ever before.

On the side of the planet, greenhouse gases, global warming, dwindling fuel supplies and air quality are all issues that must be taken seriously to protect our children’s health and future. Enter the scooter.

You save huge dollars in fuel and depreciation cost plus you’ll feel good about doing something positive for our environment but that’s not really what the scooter phenomenon is all about. The fact of the matter is: New scooters are a lot of fun to ride. They are stylish and more accessible than many realize. Several provinces do not require special licensing to operate a 50cc scooter and in some cases people as young as fourteen can legally ride on specific classes of scooters. Toronto among other cities has amended regulations governing two wheeled vehicles to offer free parking and greater access to the downtown cores.”

Thanks for the scoop Peter!
