And one of the main reasons I think they aren't popular around here is because of our terrain. I rather doubt their little electric motors would get people very far up the hills in this area.
I have seen ONE adult using an adult-sized scooter here ... but I see all sorts of cyclists every day. The one person with a scooter that I've seen scooted a bit, then stopped and walked, then scooted a bit more, then walked another section ... and from my observations, she was scooting only slightly faster than walking ... about the pace of a slow jog.
These are, of course, people's own bicycles and likely her own scooter because we don't have bike-share programs here. There are some small bike rental options, but they usually operate only in summer.
