LAKEWOOD -- With current gas prices at $3.50 a gallon, Phil Waters Jr., the owner of Pride of Cleveland Scooters in Lakewood, is preparing to sell a lot of scooters.
During the last gas price spike in 2008, he sold out his entire inventory of fuel 'sippers.'
The $4 gas prices forced people to find alternative ways to get around town. Scooters average about 85 miles to a gallon.
Some models get over 100 miles to a gallon and are big in Europe and large metropolitan areas where accessibility is an issue.
Unlike motorcycles and mopeds, scooters are easy to ride and very functional.
