Clearwater store finds its niche by marketing 'DUI scooters'




New to the scooter business, Doug Vitello and Gary Parr worked hard to meet their customers' needs. But there was one type of customer they couldn't serve.


Quote from the article:

Again and again, they kept hearing: I got a DUI. I lost my license. Do you have something I can use to get around?

Sunset Scooters did not. So Vitello and Parr started researching and found a type of electric scooter made in China and distributed out of California. They ordered some. They tried them out. They put a sign in their window:

"DUI SCOOTERS."

They look like gas-powered mopeds, with bright candy-red and blue bodies, backrests and decorative detailing. They have headlights and window shields and go up to 20 mph.

And, yes, they're legal to ride without a license.
