Scooter company on track for first profit December 31, 2013 - 4:04PM Scooter maker Vmoto expects 2013 will be its first profitable year, thanks to growing sales in China. The company makes electric and petrol scooters in China, and distributes them to more than 30 countries. Vmoto also owns 10 retail outlets in China, with four of those stores having opened in the last two months. On Monday, the company said November was another profitable month, and the company still expects to make its maiden annual profit, of between $300,000 and $600,000, in the 2013 calendar year. Vmoto listed on the Australian share market in 2002. It expects to have had made 42,000 scooters in the year, and had sold 3,197 of its own scooters in China by the end of November. "The gradual buildup in sales month-on-month are testament to the Vmoto brand becoming increasingly recognised as a premium product for electric scooter riders in China," it said. The company's shares were up 0.3 of a cent at 3.3 cents at 1200 AEDT.
