I have a local bike shop nearby where i live. Its a selfowned buisness. I recently came there and they did a headset change. They started to put Bmx stuff there like animal stickers, pedals and Animal Edwins. Scootering in my town is getting pretty spread out. Theres about 5-8 kids who scoot. Im gonna go down to the bike shop and talk to them about getting some scooter stuff. What would be some good reasons and ideas i can throw at them.

Then you just need to come up with a presentation why he should carry the parts and the kind of profit that he could make off the scooter scene.

stage a demand

get individuals from your scooter crew to go to the bike shop solo on different days asking for the same parts and getting rejected. if it happens often they will start trying to figure out how to get them in stock. this only works if you got a crew of numbers.

so go build a crew of like 12 or more
 
i tried to considering my town has at least 50 scooter kids all with tons of mom and dads money and they were just like yeah..... no. were a bike shop. and i said yeah but you sell snowboards and skis, and scootering is wayyyyy bigger than biking here , they were just like k bye. 5 months later the owner of lucky goes in and says wanna sell our parts and they were like ok. so now they charge way more than lucky's website price and make a killing. its legit.
