And this presents a problem-there are only a handful of scooters on the market that come remotely close to meeting these needs. The needs in this relationship: a scooter small enough to store in the back of an SUV (a car trunk would be even better) and light enough for one person to actually lift it into the back of such a vehicle without having to completely dismantle the unit or throw out a back and contribute to your chiropractor’s boat payment. And that requirement narrows the dating pool drastically.

But what if you only want to date your scooter right now, nothing serious or permanent? You know, right swipe, not iCupid. A too heavy scooter (often 250 lbs or more) necessitates a lift on your car, which means a full-on scooter commitment and a deep garage. A small scooter for the zoo, or the mall, or on a trip, or perhaps a trek to Costco… when all the store’s electric carts are taken seemingly by people who have finished shopping and have parked said scooters (now unoccupied) next to their table in the food court to enjoy a leisurely lunch of entire pizzas after pre-lunches of free product samples all while other disabled patrons stack up like pilgrims during Hajj at Mecca.Īh, but there’s an inherent problem with virtually every scooter on the market: they weigh a ton, more than a juvenile walrus. What if because of multiple sclerosis or other disability, you need a scooter at times, but you don’t need need a scooter? You know what I’m talking about.
