Ok, so the point here is that efficiency goes beyond using less fuel. We put nine scooters and motorcycles in the same space as the MPG Motors F-150.

We only have so much space. Population densities continue to increase in SE Pennsylvania along with many other areas. Scooters and motorcycles take up a lot less space than my truck. Now, a lot of people drive a truck like my truck. I can put a lot of stuff in my truck and I can haul a trailer, a scooter and a bike on the back. It’s a great truck! But, it’s gotta be big so I can haul all that stuff. So we rolled out all these new Hyosung’s into the spot left after I moved my big truck. Nine, nine different vehicles fit in that spot for my truck.

Here’s what I’m after - and I need your help.

First, there are spots in the average parking garage and parking lot that aren’t big enough for your basic parking spot. They have a funny shape, aren’t the right size, you have to turn too sharp to get a car in. So, it’s wasted space and it isn’t getting used.

I want pictures people! I want some pictures of places where a scooter(s) or motorcycle(s) could be parked that isn’t being used. I need the address, owner (or municipality) and a nice digital image.

Next, I want some volunteers that are willing to see if we can’t convert some of this wasted space into better deals for bikers. If a bike doesn’t take the same space as a car, can said biker get a deal on the parking? It happens in other cities, it can happen here.
