Auto Moto Reveals New Scooter[img]http://tinyurl.com/lyugsu[/img]; VIDEO / SLIDESHOW: 3 wheels with canopy...

MINNEAPOLIS - There’s a new-aged looking scooter that’s riding through downtown Minneapolis and it’s turning a lot of heads.
It’s a new three wheeled scooter called The Auto Moto. It’s not the three wheels that turning heads as much as it is the Plexiglas canopy. Inside the canopy is a built in roll bar that ads to the stability of the scooter.
Sprinter Scooters in Elk River is the Minnesota distributor of the Auto Moto.
Spokesman Jonathon Hasher says, “We’ve actually had people following us back to the store from local gas stations and what not just to try and get the information on what they are.”
While The Auto Moto is technically a scooter, the 150 cc motor will carry it up to speeds of 65 miles per hour. That means drivers must have a motorcycle license.
The new scooter comes as overall scooter sales have dropped this year. When gasoline hit $4 a gallon in 2008, scooter sales hit an all time high of 220,000 in the United States. So far in the first six months of 2009, the Motorcycle Industry Council reports scooter sales have dropped 67 percent.
Still, commuters are looking for alternatives. Ryan Scott of BlueCat Motors in St. Paul says business has now returned to sustainable levels. Scott said, “I’m finding a lot of people want to go from eight wheels o six wheels. 622 Instead of having two family cars they want to go from one family car and one two wheeled vehicle.”
A price of a new scooter can start at about $2,500 dollars. The Auto Moto sells for $3,800. So far, Hasher has had no problem finding interested buyers. Six of the first ten he ordered are already out the door.
