If high gas prices have you wincing, you might want to consider a transportation alternative. They are all the rage in Europe and are steadily gaining popularity in North America. And they’re now in Brandon. Scooters are economical in fuel and licensing costs, easy to park, come in different styles with many options, are easy to operate, have low maintenance costs, and are great fun!

Cycle Boyz started importing the popular scooters in June from PGO, the leading scooter manufacturer in Taiwan, who’s been in the business for 30 years. “The Asian market is huge,” said Tim Wytinck, parts and office manager.

“They are getting very popular in North America now. Scooters have so much to offer. We’re impressed with sales and how people have showed so much interest.” In fact, they keep selling out.”
