text: If their yardstick of success is dealer growth, there are hard times ahead, by this time next year they’ll be desparately targeting national retail chains, and forcing scooters on their bicycle dealers, who have enough problems as it is, since Schwinn has taken advantage of the them already. By focusing on good dealer relations and customer support, (note I said nothing about quality, though that wouldnt’ hurt, either), they could dominate the U.S. scooter game long after Piaggio blows it in America again, but so far, Genuine and Kymco seem to be the only importers to have figured that out.
