According to a recent article in Entrepreneur Media, more than 3 million human-powered scooters are sold in the U.S. each year. With this trend in mind, The Vault Pro Scooters has expanded their product line to include all major scooter brands. They are also offering complete maintenance and repair services.

Despite growing controversy from the skateboarding community, the popularity of freestyle scootering is continuing to surge as both an urban sport and a lifestyle. With this growing reputation comes an increased need for participants to understand the dangers associated with scootering. In an effort to promote safe scooter riding and competition, The Vault Pro Scooters has launched a safety campaign to heighten awareness of the necessary safety precautions for this sport.

According to the Sports and Fitness Authority Association, 3,187,000 persons, age 13 or older, chose to make use of a Kick Scooter in 2012, with 29 percent of those making use of a scooter also participating in skateboarding. "With a variety of devices to select from, any person can easily find a scooter which meets their needs and their budget and a kick scooter is great for both exercise and recreational fun,” Micheal Lindstrom of The Vault Pro Scooters declares.

Skate parks have seen a huge spike in use and popularity in recent years for several reasons. Some credit this boom to the popularity of the X-games and the mainstream publicity given to them, while still others point to fact skate parks provide an outlet for those teens not attracted to traditional team sports. Michael Lindstrom of Vault Pro Scooters in Culver City, CA points out one reason recently for the explosion of people who can be found at the skate parks.

Drawing from the prevalence of professional skateboarding, biking, snowboarding and other such sports, freestyle scootering has seen a 50 percent increase over the last 5 years alone. Following the sudden popularity of scooters in 2002, scootering has evolved into a sport in its own right, creating a niche in the market for custom scooter accessories. In an effort to help promote this sport and to meet public demand, The Vault Pro Scooters has launched their extensive line of professional scooter gear and accouterments.
