Early in 2004, an opportunity presented itself that would forever change the direction of my life and the culture of an entire community. I would sit at a bus stop day after day trying to catch an RTS bus to campus and this bus would pass me by with the words FULL BUS displayed across the top. This opportunity merged with a drop shipping and importing opportunity with one of my best college friends and ultimately led to the creation of New Scooters 4 Less in March of 2004. 14 years later, New Scooters 4 Less (NS4L) is one of the largest scooter dealerships in the United States and continues to break its own records and the sales records for some of the top scooter distributors in the country. NS4L has provided jobs to tons of amazing people, reached millions of dollars in revenue, sold thousands of scooters, and has serviced thousands more.
NS4L has become well known within the business community for it’s unique, eccentric, and innovative culture developed around a single core value: Create and recreate the Ultimate Customer Experience, or UCE.
Since the birth of NS4L, the University of Florida and the Gainesville Community have forever been changed.
Our vision is to be the most trusted, go-to scooter dealership in existence and to revolutionize the entire scooter industry through our core values, innovation, and by creating that ultimate customer experience. We want to make Gainesville, FL the scooter capital of the world!

Just strapped down my first scooter Vespa et2 50
Did it the same way you are around the grips and guess what the grip started to slide off the handle bar lucky I noticed it right away.
Ended up putting cross straps on front as well 4 straps @ front one at rear through rack to other side.
Great catch! Glad you noticed it. We rarely see this happen, but it's definitely possible. Crossing the straps on the front can prevent this, BUT make sure that the metal pieces on the strap aren't rubbing the paint! We see a lot of scoots get scratched that way. Thanks for the note!
Very professional and informative. Congrats guys best tutorial.
@@effingdingus awesome! 😎 Thank you!
I like the sideways mount. This is the only video I've seen that does it. Good work!
Hey! Thank you Allen! Appreciate it!
Great little tutorial and the loop trick with hook straps is so simple but exactly the type of tip I came here seeking. Great job!

What’s the best practice for strapping down 2 scooters in a truck bed at the same time?
Here you go! ua-cam.com/video/plEDH3vybDk/v-deo.html
can you do a video showing how to strap down 2 mopeds in one truck bed?
This is a great suggestion! We will add it to our list of videos to make! Thank you!
Here is the video we made for you! ua-cam.com/video/plEDH3vybDk/v-deo.html
Sorry to be a killjoy, I appreciate the video, but some major, major things wrong here:
1. Center stand will bend under load. Especially Hondas, the best scooters made, you don't want them to travel with the center stand down, it will bend on bumps. Then straps come loose, so loose scooter falling over and bent center stand. Not good.
2. Attaching to grips - With your angle of attack, you're fine, but most people don't have that trailer with the hooks straight ahead. They will be coming from a 45 degree angle,and the grips can easily slide. Loose scoot falling over.
3. Attaching to the luggage rack - luggage racks are rarely rated for over 10 lbs. You are going to need way more than 10 lbs of pressure on those straps. You can bend/break the rack, then loose scoot falling over.
4. Pull straps vs rachet - you need the ratchet, those cheap pull straps easily come loose, it's why they cost half or a quarter of what ratchet straps cost.
Again, sorry to be a downer, but this video is all kinds of wrong.
Thanks for the comment. I won't debate with you, because much of what you say makes sense, but I will just note the following... there are 100 ways to skin a cat. Been doing it this way for over a decade and haven't experienced these issues. Thank you.
@@NewScooters4Less Sounds good. You guys look like good/smart people, maybe I overstated the "major, major" part of it. How about I downgrade to "some things to watch out for", lol. Cheers.
@@doctoreeeveal You're all good! Lol! We're all trying to take care of the cyclists out there! It's a team effort! :) Stay safe!
I am picking up Piaggio mp3 and weight over 560bls. how do you load up to trailer?
Hey Roy! Do you have a flatbed trailer? This is what we use when we have to haul one. The process of strapping it down is very similar, but we just strap it down in a flatbed trailer instead of the bed of a truck. Thanks!
@@NewScooters4Less Yes but my dad let it to his friend used it down south oatland, Tx.! There other small trailer my dad have i hook up wheel holder for two scooter my be put in backwards because 3 wheel scooter?
@@roywalls5595 You don't have to put it in backward. We don't. Just make sure the steering is locked, the emergency lock is on, and it is strapped down extremely well.
Would you still leave it up on the stand in the trailer if you were going on the highway for a couple hours or would it be best to just leave it on two wheels?
What the We’ve totally left it in the center stand before but it’s not necessary. With the shocks compressed forward and equally balanced left and right, you don’t need to have it on the stand. I would strap the rear rack for extra stability too.
@@NewScooters4Less thank you
@@whatthe2458 Our pleasure!
What if you ain’t got a trailer or truck or any friends with trailer or truck would a tow truck do it???
Yes. Most tow trucks will tow scooters too.
Those straps are swap bro you really need ratchet straps so nothing gets loose during your ride but otherwise you did good just get better straps is all
These straps are quick and easy and great for our short straps. Ratchet straps would be better for something longer distance. Most of our stuff is quick in-town trips, so these work great. Thanks for the suggestion!
