One of the most popular non-motorized ride-on vehicles is the 40cc
gas scooter or gas powered scooter. These gas scooters are made of lightweight aluminum, they are foldable for portability and storage. They typically cost between $50 and $150.
Sales of Motorized-style gas scooters were almost zero in 1999, and most industry experts predict that in 2000, the number of units sold will be between 2 and 5 million.
The phenomenal growth of scooter sales in 2000 has also meant a parallel growth in the number of injuries related to scooter accidents. According to the United States Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the United States Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC), injuries associated with
motorized scooters increased dramatically in 2000.
