The story of Scoot Richmond begins in 2002, when Chelsea Lahmers decided to quit her day job and have a go selling spare parts for vintage Vespa and Lambretta motorscooters. She knew very little about scooters and considerably less about running a business. Her determination to make this funny little business work eventually made SCOMO a bustling and successful mail order company with faithful customers all over the world.
 When Chelsea was presented with an opportunity to move to a large and character-filled warehouse in Richmond's Old Manchester district, she decided to take the plunge of expanding into sales of new scooters as well as servicing both new and vintage scooters. Slowly but surely, her showroom evolved from a crowded narrow room to thousands of square feet of scooters, scooter parts, and riding gear. Scooterists all around the world knew SCOMO by name, but Richmond Virginia needed a bit of a leg up to make the connection. In the summer of 2007, SCOMO evolved into Scoot Richmond.
