You're Going To Like This!

The new Kymco Like 200i, that is.

There's a lot to like about the Like. The perfect combination of classic vintage nostalgia and Kymco's modern technology and reliability is now here in a fast, agile mid-range displacement scooter. Its electronic fuel injection makes it very quick, but the power is still delivered smoothly, and the Like's fuel efficiency is best in its class. The Like features plenty of underseat storage, and comes with a color-matched top case and 12V cell phone charger as standard equipment. You'll be able to get your shopping and errands done... and have fun at the same time!

Also available in a 50cc version, the Kymco Like comes in three classic colors: Black, Red and Ivory. Come by East Side Scooters and test ride the Kymco Like 200i, today!

Only 8557 miles on the odometer, it can be yours for $2200... but you'll want to hurry, 'cause it will not last long at that price!

Also, if you haven't marked your calendar already, don't forget our Third Anniversary Ride next Sunday, 5/30/2010. We'll have the Mas Tacos truck here at noon, and will ride from East Side Scooters to Percy Warner Park, leaving the shop at around 2:00 p.m. We're going to give away one in-stock Fulmer helmet, drawn at random from the pool of participating riders (and their passengers), so don't miss out.

New Arrival: Lance Cali Classic 125

After several years of looking for a high-quality scooter at a great price, we've finally found a winner: The Lance Cali Classic 125.

Lance has traditionally worked with mainland Chinese manufacturers such as Znen. Now, however, Lance has formed an alliance with Sanyang Industry Co. Ltd. of Taiwan to bring this incredible new 125cc scooter to the U.S.

Utilizing Sanyang's extensive ceramics technology, this 124.6cc engine produces the same horsepower output as the Znen 150cc engine, and the longevity of the cylinder should exceed that of non-ceramic-lined cylinders.

Gone is the old-style leading link front suspension, replaced by a modern telescopic dual fork front end, with a front disc brake and a 12" aluminum front wheel. The Cali Classic also features underseat storage, an automatic CVT transmission, electric and kickstart, and comes in a variety of colors. Retail price is only $1999!

Stop in and see this new arrival at East Side Scooters, and ask about a test ride, today!

New Features, New Facebook

... and Happy New February, to you, as well!

Now that we're back and in the new year of 2010, we're moving right along with several projects (in between times where it gets nice enough to ride, of course).

First off, we're in the process of making some 360° Demo videos for many of our scooters to help people discover the important features of each scooter, and for those who haven't been in, to let those folks get a good look at each one, as well. Check out our Scooters page to see the 360° Demo videos for the Genuine Buddy, Genuine Stella, Kymco People 150 and Kymco Xciting 500Ri.

And yes, we're now on facebook! Many of you have asked us, "When are you going to start a facebook page?" Well, the answer is now! So, feel free to check out our page, and send us a friend request so we can add you to our list of facebook friends.

If you haven't heard, Genuine is getting ready to roll out the 4-stroke Stella very soon, now. If you or someone you know is looking for a 2-stroke Stella, please remind them that time is growing short to snap up a new one... and we have two currently on our floor.

Also on the horizon is the fuel-injected Genuine Blur 220. More details will be posted here, as they come in.

A Genuine Deal

SOLD! Right now, East Side Scooters has a smokin' hot holiday deal to make on a brand new tangerine Buddy 125 (see photo, at right)... in fact, it's so good a deal that Genuine Scooters doesn't want us to mention the price on our website.

The Genuine Buddy 125 is a powerhouse scooter, capable of 60+ MPH top speed, and capable of getting over 80 MPG (depending on rider weight and riding conditions). Perfect for getting around town as well as weekend rides out in the countryside, the stylish Buddy 125 comes with a 2-year factory warranty on parts and labor, and also comes with two years of roadside assistance! With all that going for it, it's little wonder that the Buddy 125 remains our top seller.

This is the only Buddy 125 we have at this special price, so don't hesitate -- come in today to get the details on this brand new 2009 Buddy 125, and ride out happy!



Also, don't forget our great deals on quality Texport gloves. They make a great gift for riders or anyone who loves staying active in the outdoors. Priced between $20-$45, they're pretty easy on tight budgets, too.

Enjoy your holidays, and stop in to see us when you can!

'Tis The Season For Gloves

... not that gloves aren't always a good idea, because they ARE, but in cooler weather, you really do need 'em just to keep the throttle-and-brake controllers (your hands) comfortable and flexible enough to do what has to be done.

That's why, after searching long and hard for a quality glove manufacturer, East Side Scooters is proud to announce the addition of Texport gloves to our accessories and gear lineup.



Due to their recent association with another great Tennessee company, Fulmer Helmets, we're very excited to be able to offer these high-quality gloves at unbelievable prices. From the all-cowhide G2660 ($19.90) to the Thinsulate™-lined G30 Winter Gauntlet ($45.00), in sizes from S to 3XL, we think you'll agree that these gloves are the ultimate riding accessory, and very easy on the wallet (makes a great Christmas gift idea). These are easily the best gloves at these prices we've seen offered by anyone.

Come in today and try on a pair of Texport gloves, and see for yourself just how nice they are!

Going To The Dogs

Fulmer AF-D4

Just a reminder of the Hot Dog Run, starting tomorrow, Saturday 11/21 @ 11:30 a.m. at East Side Scooters... the big news is, if we can get 50 or more riders to participate, we'll draw from the participants to give away a Fulmer AF-D4 full-face helmet (shown at left with optional mirrored face shield, not included), perfect for colder-weather riding! If we reach that 50-rider mark, the winner will have their choice of any solid color Fulmer AF-D4 helmet, in any size.

So be sure to tell your friends -- let's get at least 50 riders, so we can give away this great helmet! Tomorrow's weather is supposed to be AWESOME, so come hungry, and let's go check out Nashville's best hot dog eateries!

See the post immediately below for the ride route and other details.



POST-RIDE UPDATE: The weather was sunny and great, and we had 31 riders on 28 scooters leaving the shop, today (photos to appear on the web site, soon). Thanks to everyone who came out -- we had a lot of fun, and will do this again as soon as the weather will allow!

Cold Weather and Hot Dogs

Yes, we have no bananas, but everyone likes a good hot dog... which is why we're stealing Jason's idea for a Hot Dog Run (with his blessing), on Saturday, November 21, starting here at East Side Scooters at 11:30 a.m.

We're still putting the details together for the ride, but we have four of Nashville's finest hot dog purveyors lined up, with a possible fifth to be added. Stay tuned here at the web site, follow our Tweets on Twitter, or if you're on our mailing list, check your e-mail for more details... coming soon. And may the best dog win!


UPDATE: We've finalized the ride route for the Hot Dog Run (see map above). We'll be feasting at the following franchisers of fine franks:

I Dream of Weenie

The Dog of Nashville

Hot Diggity Dogs

Zackie's Original Hot Dog

So, bring a few bucks, a scooter with a full tank of gas and a hearty appetite as we spend the afternoon casing the town, and sampling some of the Song City's superlative sausages!

IN CASE OF RAIN that morning, check our Twitter updates to check the status of the ride.
