Genuine Black Cat, Genuine Rattler!

The Black Cat: Explosive Fun! Light off a Black Cat. It’s a blast! Knobby tires and a rugged build. Eye-popping colors and graphics. A fast clean two-stroke, WOW! Got a match? We’ve got the fuse. It’s year-round recess, kids. The Black Cat is a blast to ride and will get attention everywhere you go!

The Rattler. Ruler of America's flatlands and deserts. So why name a scooter after a SNAKE? Just 'cause we could. The Rattler combines technology with toughness. Non-poisonous, sqeaky-clean 2 stroke technology that gives her quickness and guts. Dual piston hydraulic front brakes. Gas filled rear shock to suck up the bumps, or to smooth out your neighborhood's potholes. Check her alloy headset, looks more like a motocross bike than a scooter. Digital dash lights up to remind you that you're speeding. Two year warranty. One year free roadside (or desert-side) Service. Start her up and hear the rattle.

Stop by Philly Scooters and check out the new Genuine Black Cat and Rattler! Both in stock and ready to go!

The newly designed Kymco People 50 S delivers! Stretch out those arms and legs, sit back and enjoy the ride - your knees won't hit the handlebars! Bring a friend, there's plenty of room for everyone. Larger scoots are easier seen and command more road presence.

With it's excellent ride quality and smooth automatic stepless transmission, we've fondly dubbed the Kymco People 50 S, the Cadillac Escalade of scooters! (Except of course, the scooter gets 75+ miles per gallon!)
