Electric Scooters

Electric scooters are not just for fun anymore; there are also scooters that
are made to add mobility to a disabled or elderly person’s life who before
they had their scooter were confined to a wheelchair and had no
independence. Now with their new mobility scooter, an elderly or disabled
person is no longer dependent on someone else to come over and push
their wheelchair for them, they can get into their mobility scooter and ride it
to the corner store for groceries, or just go for a ride around the
neighbourhood and enjoy the day. Gone is their lack of independence,
thanks to mobility scooters.
Even the 9-5’ers are parking their gas-powered vehicles and purchasing an
electric scooter to get around town; electric scooters are very economical
and require very little maintenance. On a fully charged battery a person
can travel several miles before needing another charge. Just pack along
the battery charger in a backpack or other carry-on luggage type bag,
and when you get to the office, plug it in to ensure you have enough juice
to go to lunch, at lunch time you can ride your scooter to your favourite
lunchtime hangout and back to the office in less time than it took to get in
your car, drive to the restaurant, wait for long stopping lights to change
signals, then search for a parking spot, all this took up valuable lunch break
time. With your scooter you just hop on the scooter and ride straight to
your destination—you can take you scooter indoors (in most cases) if not,
lock it up at the bicycle rack out front; no hassles at all.
