Fun on Friday Scooters - Hallie Crawford

Fun on Friday Scooters Ok so Im dying to have a scooter, but my dad says I cant too dangerous. (Of course hes the one who rode motorcycles all the time when I was a kid, frequently with me on the back!) I like the idea though of zipping around my neighborhood quickly and easily, and while doing so releasing fewer emissions. Several years ago on a trip to Italy, we borrowed a friends scooter and scooted (yes thats the technical term for riding on a scooter) around Portofino. You know those experiences you never forget? That was one for me. It was beautiful out and I felt like I was in the movie Roman Holiday. Since conserving our resources and helping the environment is important to me, I liked this post from Ideal Bite about scooters. And apparently there are now electric scooters, I didnt know that.

Skipping the pump. You can plug scooters into your electrical outlets at home and save money like gangbusters. A silent ride. Unlike gas-powered scooters (not to mention motorcycles), electric scooters make next to no noise.
