Then let us know how you feel about them.
Let me put it this way: if the level of automotive traffic was approaching what it should be and options for LCF and takers of those options abounded, then I might express some criticism about scooters because they don't provide as much healthy physical activity as pedaling does, but in a world where most motor vehicles I see weigh over 2000lbs and take up most of an 11 foot lane on a multilane road filled with other such motor-vehicles, a bunch of scooters strewn around like 'weeds' would be a great replacement for the parking lots and road grids full of cars and trucks now.
