Scooting Around?

Full Service – That’s Mogo’s!

Mogo’s Scooters is a full service Scooter Rental and Sales Business located in the Tybee Oaks Shopping Village right next to Hucapoos.

They rent one and two passenger mopeds and provide complete training andinstruction free of charge.  They also have six, 49cc “Scoot Coupes” in a variety of bright colors.

These scooters are very easy to operate and balance is not an issue as they have two wheels in the front and one in back – perfect for riding the back roads and carrying children. They are also enclosed.

In addition Mogo’s has the famous 3-wheel Spider that looks like a dune buggy.  The Spider is an island favorite – it has three wheels like the coupe, but drives like a car with a steering wheel and foot pedals for gas and brakes.

Mogo’s also carries a few electric bikes called E+ Electric Bicycles. These have a range of 20 miles on one charge and will go about 25 MPH.   This line comes in several models “The City” and the “Beach Cruiser.”  All models can be ridden manually or powered, and will recharge while you pedal.

The company has hourly, daily and weekly rates. In addition to rentals they also sell Electric Bikes, Scooters, ATV’s, UTV’s, Motorcycles, and dirt bikes from 49cc to 600cc.    They only sell high quality products from companies who stand behind their products with warranties and full service parts.

Mogo’s has an on-site, full-time service department and can repair any scooter by any manufacturer including motorcycles and mobility scooters.   They also service out-of-area customers on vacation and those who buy online by shipping parts or recommending a local service team.

Mogo’s Scooters is proud to be starting it’s third year in business on Tybee Island, owned and operated by Gordon and Maureen Grindstaff, full time residents.  Gordon, a certified mechanic can repair just about anything. They’re open year round seven (7) days a week, weather permitting, but winter and summer hours vary so call ahead. They ship anywhere in the US., too, and in some instances offer FREE SHIPPING.

CK’s World Gifts: Alive & “Online”

Looking for something special?

Tybee’s Carol A. Kaminsky has recently taken her unique catalogue business online, making it even easier for her customers to find the perfect gift for ‘anyone for any special occasion’ with just the click of a mouse.

Many Tybeeians are familiar with CK’s World Gifts, as Carol has been selling these types of products on Tybee since 1999, and has many repeat customers -  by the way ALL TYBEE ISLAND RESIDENTS RECEIVE A PERMANENT 47-53% DISCOUNT ON ALL ITEMS!  Select from thousands of products with hundreds of new arrivals each month.

Categories include home, bath, kitchen, island/nautical, western and ‘African decor.’ You can find lamps/lighting, fountains, garden/outdoor, pet items, travel items, jewelry, religious and ‘holiday decor.’ Shop for candles/home scents, bath/body gifts or collectibles from Disney, Nascar, NCAA, NFL, Elvis, Obama, Michael Jackson and much more. ( ‘Harley’ items are also available upon request).  Again, it’s definitely quality merchandise at an affordable price!

Kaminsky is the daughter of the late Sol and Ruth Kaminsky of Savannah. Sol had the very first Cadillac dealership in Savannah, Chatham Motors for many years. “We had a Tybee beach house on 18th Street until I was around 16,” Carol says.  “I’ve spent every summer on Tybee and have lived here since 1986.  Of course, I dream to be “Queen” one day!”

Just might happen, too. If you’ve never heard Carol’s impersonation of the late Rodney Dangerfield and her rendition of, “Just a Gigolo” you’re missing something. She’s pictured on the left with the microphone at Doc’s Bar singing another favorite, Louie Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World.”

Be sure to visit the gift catalogue website, and check out the vast array of merchandise. Also, make sure you register as a Tybee resident at: http://www.cksworldgifts.com.
