U.S. retail scooter sales by non-traditional manufacturers— that's non-MIC reporting companies, primarily Chinese and Taiwanese firms— increased 155% last year to 250,000 units, according to research compiled by Power Products Marketing, a Minneapolis research firm. The company estimates that total retail scooter sales last year were 327,000 units, up 114% over U.S. retail sales in 2007. The outlook for 2009 isn't quite so promising, says Matthew Camp, the report's author, since many U.S. distributors carried over high levels of inventory. The 2008 Non-MIC Scooter Database of U.S. retail sales covers sales for the years 2003-2008 by make and model with specifications. The manufacturers included in the report are primarily Chinese and Taiwanese companies.
