Scooter Polluters

As gas prices rise, so has the sale of scooters. Seattle sales of the trendy two-wheelers have risen almost 40 percent since last year. Scooters get great gas mileage and help reduce greenhouse gasses. But they may not be so good for the environment. KUOW's Joshua McNichols has more.

IF YOU WANT TO BUY A SCOOTER, YOU MIGHT GO SEE ALEX SARGEANT. HE OWNS THE SCOOTER GALLERY IN SEATTLE.

SARGEANT: "It's somewhat of a retro style, it comes with a nice color-matched trunk. It's a two-toned retro-design with lots of chrome, a chrome headlight surround."

McNICHOLS: "And it's pink. You gotta love a pink scooter."

SARGEANT: "It's actually raspberry in color. Raspberry and cream."
