"We look forward to sharing our scooters and our love for the scooter lifestyle with the people of Sacramento," said Rebekah Spurgeon Owner and Manager of The Scoot Shop. "Sacramento is the perfect place to scoot. We do have the 15th worst traffic in the country but we also have beautiful weather. People are seeking cheaper, faster, entertaining and environmentally friendly alternatives to driving. Scooters can get up to 150 miles per gallon and are even offered in electric versions. We are confident the people of Sacramento will enjoy riding their scooters as much as we do."
