Saving the World One Scooter at a Time.

Use less gas, save money and the environment! Are you tired of paying high gas prices and steep insurance rates? Would you like to avoid having to look and pay for parking? The revitalization of San Diego's older neighborhoods is focused on smart growth, with offices, housing, and shopping located all in one neighborhood, therefore creating a lifestyle well-suited for scooter travel.

Motorsport Scooters on 30th Street, just south of El Cajon Boulevard is your one stop scooter shop. They offer several brands of scooters as well as parts, accessories, clothing and even toys. In the 1960s, this very same location was the home of Viking Motors, the first dealership to import European motocross cycles into the United States. Edison Dye, who operated Viking Motors and still owns the building, is considered by many to be the father of motocross in the United States. After the close of Viking Motors, the building has gone through a variety of uses, including a music venue and record store. The motocross dealership has now turned full circle and for the past several years has been the home of Motorsport Scooters.

With 20 years of experience, Alex Cohn, owner of Motorsport Scooters, has turned this dealership into the number one scooter shop in the western United States. Their online technical expertise, which they describe as "good old-fashioned know how, for free," is accessed by scooter enthusiasts worldwide. Of particular help is the Vespa Scooter Tune-up 101. With a guide to all the tools one needs and close-up pictures for where to use these tools, each person that owns a scooter really can take a hands on approach to DIY maintenance.

To join this fuel efficient squad of scooterists, visit Motorsport Scooters at 4225 30th St. and their website at www.scooterwest.com. Even better, mark your calendar for their 15 year Anniversary Celebration on August 17, 18, and 19.
