Vespa stores have closed why?
Martin Racing Performance &bull Sep 1, 2010
So I just got word today there is really only about 280 active Piaggio dealers in the USA. I don't think this is such a bad thing when all the factors are considered. I really think the aggressive nature of the business plan Piaggio Group had didn't take many issues into consideration besides that expanding into Arctic Cat dealers was like a totally insane idea. The boutique concept never really worked, but the one thing Piaggio has failed to do is… Full Story »

Dealers need to show they care.
Martin Racing Performance &bull Aug 28, 2010
Caring about your buyers also involves helping those that don't drive the brands you sell. My word of advice for new shops and older shops is take advantage of all the brands that have left the market by offering service to those customers.In this evolving economy the difference between a scooter shop that cares and one that doesn't is more evident than… Full Story »

Consumer Safety, State of the Industry, and Why Mario Andretti doesn't care that your scooter leaks gas!
Martin Racing Performance &bull Aug 18, 2010
I have to commend several people in the business because they really have shown some "cojones" as they say in Miami in making sure consumers in the USA are safe. I was encouraged by David the owner of JustGottaScoot.com it was a pretty big move on his part to make the call on the SYM product line.I have a past relationship with SYM and in the interest of full disclosure ( I was the importer in a former company back in 2003 for SYM for the USA ) and I honestly think it's a great product line. However, David made… Full Story »

Top Ten Videos How To Keep Your Scooter Store In Business
Martin Racing Performance &bull Jul 9, 2010
Not a week goes by where I don't get an email from a shop that is doing terrible, nine times out of ten it's because the store owner focused on new unit sales and not on service and parts. The second most common reason is poor presentation. A scooter store is an experience. America is not China or Taiwan, 70% of buyers don't use it as the primary form of transportation unless they live on South Beach, Florida or Key West. Most people use it for fun that means a… Full Story »
