Americans Shows Interest In Scooters For Commuting.

According to a recent study on consumer commuting, Americans are opening up to the idea of using a scooter.

Nearly 20% of the population would consider purchasing a scooter and this increases to almost 30% when consumers understand how scooters can save them time, money and most importantly to reduce the daily stress of commuting.

Commuting is one of life’s chores, and is unavoidable for most Americans. According to the survey conducted by Consensus Research for Piaggio USA, cost, stress, time and flexibility are the top four complaints by Americans in regards to their commute. Almost 20% of Americans are dissatisfied with the cost and stress related to commuting and nearly 15% with the time and flexibility. As one scooter owner says, “Before I owned my scooter, it would take me an hour and a half to two hours to get home and the first time I had the scooter, wow, I reclaimed so much of my life,” and cut his commute to 45 minutes.

Scooter owners have found that they have more control over their time, more flexibility and have the added benefit of lower cost. Another scooter owner remarked, “Cost was one of the deciding factors to convince my wife and my family that it was a great idea. It cost $9 to get into the city every day on the ferry and train as opposed to $4.75 for the tunnel. It was total savings.”
