Scoot Commute 2005 Promoting Transportation via Scooter Naples Florida Bar Harbor Maine Naples Florida



May 25, 2005 -- The Scoot Commute  2005 is a ride conceived to promote transportation via scooter. Scooter Rider Magazine will have two riders traveling from Naples Florida to Bar Harbor Maine, and then back to Naples Florida. The ride will take place over three weeks in June.

Following a primarily coastal route we will be riding mid-sized 250cc scooters capable of highway speeds and 70 mpg. The scooters will be carrying all the necessary gear without support of an accompanying vehicle. Along the route the riders will be promoting transportation via scooter and our trip product sponsors.

Why promote scooter travel Our society has come to embrace large, expensive, and less fuel efficient vehicles. Even motorcycles have become less practical as they get more outrageous with huge engines. Consequently, scooters have become one of the last practical motor vehicles; still affordable to purchase and supply with fuel. We at Scooter Rider Magazine feel scooters are a practical alternative and by riding this great distance we hope to inspire others to consider scooters as a viable alternative in commuting and travel.

We are interested in media coverage, particularly in the towns and cities where the riders have nightly stopovers. With gas prices, and vehicle costs soaring, this unique event can be of interest to the general public, as well a fun human interest story. Kymco USA (www.kymcousa.com) has supplied us with impressive scooters of which we have specially outfitted with everything from extra gear capacity to satellite radio.
