Have you talked with your kids about global warming?

"I think it's the kind of issue [reducing CO2 emissions] where something looked extremely difficult, and not worth it, and then people changed their minds.  Take child labor.  We decided we would not have child labor and goods would become more expensive.  It's a changed preference system.  Slavery also had some of those characteristics a hundred and fifty years ago.  Some people thought it was wrong, and they made their arguments, and they didn't carry the day.  And then something happened and all of a sudden it was wrong and we didn't do it anymore.  And there were social costs to that.  I suppose cotton was more expensive.  We said, 'That's the trade-off; we don't want to do this anymore.'  So we may look at this [Global Warming] and say, 'We are tampering with the earth.'  The earth is a twitchy system.  It's clear from the record that it does things that we don't' fully understand.  And we're not going to understand them in the time period we have to make these decisions...." 

"Whether it's practical [to fix the problem] depends on how much we give a damn."

- Robert Socolow, Professor of Engineering at Princeton on his position as co-director of the Carbon Mitigation Initiative (Funded by BP and Ford)

 

Keep the wealth of our nation at home.  The energy you purchase to drive your electric vehicle, is money that stays home and continues to sustain our own economy - not the economies of countries who's values and interests may not be in harmony with our own, of peaceful enterprise and personal freedoms (Until a cutting edge war is created to direct the first, the channeling of wealth, and limit the second).

Clean running Electric Bikes and scooters

Are quiet as a mouse; unlike those loud, two-stroke, gas powered scooters which have been buzzing around on our city streets - provoking legislators to set new regulations that affect us all.  Our entire line of bikes and scooters are clean, lean, energy efficient, neighbor friendly, and require no licensing, registration, or insurance.  With safe and sane riding habits, we hope to show the public and regulators that Clean Running Electric Bikes and Scooters get a clean bill of health all the way around!

"What we sell is alternative transportation for the urban commuter.  Our scooters are powerful, capable machines that will get you there and back; without all the hassles of a car or bus.  We can show you how to utilize these scooters in ways that extend their capabilities, to add even more usefulness in longer trips or hilly terrains.  Most of us will never give up the big hauling machine we call the 'car', but we don't always need to use the car for short errands or outings.  Our scooters will get you there and back in comfort, style, and with a range and performance that makes these work-horses your savior on the transportation budget." - Jonny Electron 

Save hundreds or even thousands over the cost of gas, insurance, and maintenance alone!  In most communities, like our own, it costs less to commute on an earth friendly, totally green, electric scooter than it does to take a bus.  And YOU say where you start and stop!

What do I do?

First you must decide what your primary use is.  Recreation?  Commuting alternative?  Limited use of, or pain in, legs or other movement related challenges? 

Do you need a Portable or Heavy duty - what kind of range do you require? 

Will you be going up and down a lot of hills? 

All these factors should be considered when purchasing your electric powered device.  We can help explain the differences and other ways to get the best experience with your new electric scooter or bike.

Why scoot on this?

We provide the added value of thoroughly inspecting all of our bikes and scooters before they leave our shop - many bikes and scooters are NOT ready to hit the streets right out of the box.  We have found many things that often need adjustment or additional securing as received from the factory to assure an efficient, safer experience for our clients.

Our goal is to make electric bikes put the Portland Metro Area in the lead as a model electric community.  To do that, we must go the extra mile to ensure a safe and problem free experience, for all our customers, but even more so for our local ones.  We get you going right so that others can follow your example.

Even after your warranty expires, we are a full service dealership here to provide you with a lifetime of service!  Scoot On This! A Limited Liability Company has all the parts, service, and accessories to complement your riding experience.  We focus on safety and a trouble free product.  We are highly committed  to Electric powered transportation - to keep you moving!

Feel the Difference

The new generation of electric powered devices is far more able than you might think!  Come by and test ride one today!

Now Renting!  Take an extended sample ride by renting one of our scooters.  See our Rentals Page for more details.  Must be 16 years of age or older with a valid Oregon License and Credit Card, or be accompanied by an adult with a valid Oregon License and Credit Card.

No matter what your transportation needs, we have it, or we'll find it!  We sell ONLY Electric Bikes, Bike Conversion Kits, Scooters, Mobility Scooters, parts and accessories.

If you live in the area and want to save some on shipping, pick up your purchase personally.  Either in the box ^{(we recommend you let us set up and inspect your new AT vehicle)} or fully assembled and ready to go.  Or Call ahead and we can have it ride-ready for you.

So What's your ride?

Electric Stand Up Scooters, with or without seats, are great for the average inner city commuter, student or urban hipster.  Fast and agile, what could be more fun!  Many are collapsible and can be easily taken with you on a bus or train - try that with a gas powered!

Electric Bikes or Small Electric Mopeds*** are for those with a need for speed and a greater distance than the Stand Up two wheel scooters.  They are heavier than scooters so not as agile or portable.

Our Three and Four Wheel Scooters are ideal for those who have a lot of running around to do and need speed, distance, and stability.  This style is a great way for anyone to get around safely and comfortably.  For those who need the power and speed of similar products that cost hundreds more, our Sola© Three and Four wheel scooters are powerful, with a long distance per charge, and almost twice the speed of most other comparable, but higher priced scooters. 

Our several lines of bike conversion kits, combined with our own line of bikes, or your favorite bike, allow you to scale your transportation down and save natural resources, wear and tear on your nerves, and on your pocket book as well!

Electricity - For a Self-EmPOWERED Country!

We carry only electric vehicles for a brighter, cleaner and quieter future for our communities. 

Our suppliers have put together strong, fast and efficient mobility scooters and priced them so that they are more affordable than ever.  While some high volume stores sold junk that ended up in a massive recall on scooters, our scooters are solid and rely on top of the line circuitry and controllers. 

We understand the concerns of the mobility challenged and the elderly.  We also know that the new personal mobility products now hitting the market in record numbers show that these little "horses" of the 21st century are catching on with just ordinary men or women who feel that now is the time to "go electric". 

One of our members has found a new personal freedom of mobility.  In the past he was too embarrassed about it to go out with his friends - and so never left the house.  While still having use of his legs, walking any distance became painful and he did not want to go out and be noticed to be in, or complain of being in, discomfort.  Now you can see him (ok, it's me, I'm busted!) out riding around the neighborhood soaking up the day with a smile on his face.

Quality of life, and taking time to enjoy it, are important to us.  While we do not have a resource currently available for any kind of insurance assistance, we will work with you, to find suitable payment options.

***A "bike" comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, some are street legal, meaning they ride in the flow of traffic, require a license, registration, and insurance, and are usually referred to as an Electric Moped.  True powered bikes are not street legal  - which only means they do not require registration or insurance!  They are primarily defined by the top speed that they are capable of reaching on a level surface.  For most places, any bike or its cousin, the scooter, that exceeds 24 miles per hour is considered street legal.   Anything under that speed (which is odd because a non-powered bike can easily exceed that limit) is a true bike and follows the same laws as a regular human powered bike; i.e. use the bike lanes and paths where available, and at walking speed on the sidewalk when there is not one available.
