Introducing Genuine Scooters to South Sound Scooters
We’re excited to announce a new addition to our showroom lineup: Genuine Scooters! Known for their personality, performance, and wallet-friendly pricing, Genuine models round out our scooter offerings and make it easier than ever to find the perfect ride.
Why Genuine?
For more than 20 years, Genuine has been building a loyal following in the U.S. From their roots in Chicago to their nationwide presence today, they’ve made a name for themselves with scooters that are fun, reliable, and easy to customize. With options ranging from 50cc to 170cc, they’re a great fit for both new riders and seasoned commuters.
Some highlights from the Genuine lineup coming to our inventory:
Buddy 50, 125 & 170i – Bright colors, nimble handling, and plenty of power for city streets or weekend rides.
Buddy Kick 125 – A fuel-injected upgrade with refined styling and smooth performance.
Roughhouse 50 – Rugged and tough, this is the only 50cc 2-stroke scooter built to handle both trails and traffic.
Hooligan 170i – Versatile, quick, and sporty—built to dominate the under-200cc class.
How Genuine Fits Into Our Lineup
At South Sound Scooters, we aim to offer a scooter for every type of rider:
Vespa remains the gold standard—the “Cadillac of scooters.” With steel bodies, premium finishes, and unmatched resale value, Vespas are for riders who want timeless design and heirloom-level quality.
Piaggio delivers sporty styling and Italian engineering at a more approachable price point. Their slightly more motorcycle-like feel suits riders looking for a sharper, performance-oriented ride.
Genuine lands in the same price range as Piaggio but emphasizes the classic scooter experience: lightweight, nimble handling, and lots of customization potential. Their 2-stroke models are easily upgraded for performance, making them ideal for riders who value versatility and fun.
Which Scooter is Right for You?
Choosing a scooter comes down to your priorities:
Vespa if you want heritage, resale value, and solid steel construction.
Piaggio if you want European engineering with a sportier edge.
Genuine if you’re after a lighter, nimble, and affordable ride with personality.
The Buddy, for example, is quick, reliable, and especially well-suited for shorter riders or daily commuters. It may not have the weight or solid feel of a Vespa, but its light, agile frame makes it easy to maneuver and customize — perfect for everyday riding or weekend fun.
Come See Them for Yourself
We think adding Genuine Scooters will open the door for more people to experience the joy of riding. Whether you’re new to scooters or looking to add a second one for easy commutes or beach runs, Genuine offers unbeatable bang for your buck.
Stop by South Sound Scooters to test ride the Buddy, Buddy Kick, Roughhouse, or Hooligan—and see which scooter feels right for you.
