Scooters of Boise - Boise, Idaho

Scooters of Boise
I bought my Genuine Buddy scooter at a scooter specialty store -- the only one in Boise, a city of about 200,000, named Scooters of Boise. There are some other motorcycle dealers in this town who sell scooters as a sideline, but no other scooter-only stores.
Anyway, the staff at Scooters of Boise is great. The owner, Kathy, rides a red Genuine Stella, complete with sidecar, and has decades of motorcycle experience to boot. She seems like she runs a tight ship, but she was warm & personable and took me out for a test ride in the parking lot across the street. Not once did she seem anything but patient and unhurried.
Her assistant, Ryan, was great too. In fact, Ryan was my first point of contact at the store. He's the one who steered me towards the Buddy, telling me of its great quality, and also a good fit for my small frame. Ryan also owned a scooter. Additionally, he steered me toward ModernBuddy.com, a Buddy forum, to learn more about this particular model. Great advice!
They had a wide selection of brands and sizes for their scooters. The place was really hopping the day I was there... two other ladies bought Buddies at the same time I did!
Anyway, if you're in western Idaho, you can't go wrong with Scooters of Boise on Capitol & Fulton Streets in downtown Boise.

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.
Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.
One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.

Attention!
I'm Back!
Yes, I have been noticeably absent from the site the past few months. I recently lost my mother to a long battle with COPD and was subsequently plagued with a bunch of minor health problems. But I'm better now & back full swing.
I had to delete over a hundred questions that had been submitted, some because they were too old for answers to still be valuable and many because they were written in text speak, which I don't accept on the site. PLEASE... use proper capitalization & punctuation, so I can publish your question/review, etc. without editing. Thanks! :)
Wondering why your scooter question never got posted?
Chances are, there is a good reason. Did you...
If you "checked yes" on any of the points above, then I've deleted your post. Sorry, but I have standards. Feel free to re-submit, following the instructions I have everywhere on the site.
Also... all submissions have to be reviewed by me, and that can take a few days sometimes. Comments go live without approval, but still take 30 to 60 minutes to show up, so don't repost them, please.
