The Story That Inspired Ultra Scooter

When I was fourteen years old, one of the kids in my standard came to school with his brand new petrol scooter. I will never forget how all the kids gathered in excitement while he rode around the parking lot.

I still remember the exact thought I had in my mind, “I have to have one!”

That night, I asked my parents if they would buy me one for my birthday.

My parents were very quick to tell me that it was too expensive, and my scooter dreams were temporarily dashed. Being a determined kid, I decided if my parents would not buy me a scooter, then it would be up to me to make it happen.

I began to work every Saturday from 8am to 5pm at the house for my dad.

While my friends were having fun, I was washing cars, painting rooms, varnishing window frames and anything else my dad could think of.

One year of work passed by, and I had managed to save up almost half of the money I needed. Even so, it started to feel like I would never have enough money to buy my scooter.

It was at that time that my dad told me he was proud of how hard I had worked, and he would match the money that I had saved.

I still remember the immense excitement and accomplishment I felt when my dad and I went to the store to collect my scooter.

I kept that scooter for five years and can’t even begin to tell you all the adventures and happiness that it brought to my life.

The dream that inspired Ultra Scooter is the joy that I know our products bring to both young and old.

It’s never too late for a great adventure!
