Hey dmartin95 - now that ANOTHER ancient thread has been resurrected, how did the scooter rentals work out? It failed before it ever got off the ground... There's a lot of insurances and licensing fee's and Yadda, yadda, Yadda... For my area, (Michigan) it being a seasonal thing and all, it just wasn't worth it. But I can give you all an update on what became of all 3 of them. I sold all 3 of them (to different customers) to the tune of $900 each. Only advertising method was Craigslist.... I made $300 Profit off of each one. I sold them in the Spring time after doing really good PDI's and having them run perfect. Assembly of these scooter are super simple, but there's a lot of quirks that required fixing. If someone is thinking of going this route to make some extra cash, just know ahead of time, you will need to be mechanically inclined. If you are mechanically inclined and have the storage space, it's a pretty good way to make a little bit of extra coin. To summarize, rental was a no go but still wasn't a bust.  |

I have the same problem here in Florida. If you buy or sell, I think two or more vehicles, you are considered a dealer, yes even for used bikes, and are supposed to have a vehicle dealer license, which involves around $1,000 in fees and whatnot, plus approval for the site by the state, etc. It's crazy what a person has to do in this country just to do the most simple things to make some money. |
