Where would you drive an electric scooter?
A family of musicians in Nashville, TN has jobs and social lives that take them to different parts of the city throughout the day. Instead of owning 5 separate cars, they travel to and from work and band practice on electric scooters. Nashville is located two miles from their suburban home, with easy downtown access via side streets – perfect for electronic scooters. Traveling at a top speed of 35 MPH, the scooters are ideal for an urban location that has reduced speed limits and more traffic congestion.
Do you live in an area that would benefit from an electric scooter?

Why do you say that? I'm sure there are some great places in Memphis to ride a scooter.

It would be hard to ride a scooter and dodge bullets at the same time.

I would very much like an electric scooter - and would drive it around my neighborhood that includes places where I play: meet friends for coffee or dinner etc. (about 5 miles)

Do you live in an urban or suburban area? You should consider getting one!

Yes, it is high on my thought list! My life went into a black hole a few years back where purchasing - or the thought of - is like listening to the republicans on taxes! Having said that - I am about 12 miles out of a main city and very rarely go downtown anymore. I think there are a few of us like that ... we do everything around the city. And some part of that is very easy on a scooter. The prices for younger out of school or undergrads is very reasonable I am surprised to find. However, I am responsible for others including elderly parents and when I look I think "this is such an individualistic world" ... Where is the fun little scootery thing my nieces would like?

Living in Los Angeles, I would use it to get around town during rush hour and to go to the beach

The town I live in would be great for this! Everywhere I go on a daily basis is either a really long walk or a waste of gas driving through town. It is also a great solution to finding parking when town is congested.

A surfboard rack for that runs about $130; seems like a fit for the PCH.

IS that an amp? THAT is one cool looking amp! Hm ... I forget what that throughway looks like but somehow that site sounds like a good place for something like the 'storefront' green music festival ... or something like that :- )

To the markets and back. And to photo shoots so I could access some parks and not have to lug 30lbs of camera gear so far.
