I like the style and design of of the site.  But there are some problems with the site.
I have a few suggestions here.

First, correct the grammar mistakes in your text. 

If you want customers, you need advertise your site and have people come.  Visitors  don`t just magically show up.  Since you are selling scooters, you need to reach the retailers of scooters in your target market.  (also you need to know about the import/export regulations, tariff and quotas the whole deal)  It would be useful if you stated the import process on the website too.  This way a retailer from the US who never done direct import before, might be interested.

Hi - I noticed right away that there was no "introduction". The page I went to just went to the "product" right away. I`m no expert - but I would like to get to know your company first before I made a purchase decision.

It is a VERY CUTE site though! I an emailing you to suggest some changes for the grammar.

Good luck!

Hi Jason, :-) (oops...! Shoulda been Vivian!)

First, I`d suggest that (only my own experience) there`s a confusion over the use of the word "cute" in the Asian culture, versus the American culture. In the States, "cute" generally implies somewhat childish, whimsical, and innocent. In a sarcastic usage, people use the word "cute" to mean, "Oh THAT was an idiotic thing to do (or say)."

I`m on Firefox, using a DSL line, and the site took a long time to load. The images were very slow to show, and it was annoying. Like Kate (above) said, I too was wondering "who is this?"

The way you have the initial product example on the home page is really more for the "Products" page. On the main, introductory page, you could have smaller images of various cycles and products, more for the variety and a summary-in-pictures of what you do with this site. Each thumbnail (or slightly larger) would then link to the item in its full description on the products area.

Without some introductory content, explaining the company and products (not the About Us), you have a difficult time in your ranking for relevance in search engines.

Think of it this way. I`m looking for a scooter, not a fullblown motorcycle like a Harley. So I type "scooter" or "motor scooter" into the Google query bar. What actual words on your site, particularly your home page, include those two words? Even with "word stemming," the word SCOOTIL isn`t close enough to SCOOTER to be found.

What else would I type that might find your site? Obviously, motorcycle, bike, Harley, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and so forth. The trick is to have those words on YOUR site, even though you don`t sell those products. An even more interesting trick is to have the other brands there, but in a real and useful context with what you actually do.

So if you sell after-market products, can they be used by someone who owns a Triumph motorcycle? If so, your SEO content should reference the "triumph" name.

My interest is in SEO writing, so that`s in this post. Other community members and many other posts have been written about how to drive traffic to your site. Do a search on the "Main" tab for "drive traffic," and so forth, and look through the Web Marketing forums. They`ll have lots of other ideas. :-D

Thanks for all above:Kate and Craig.
