There are many ways to navigate urban environments. Cars, mass transit, walking, rideshare programs like Uber, and cycling. Many people overlook what I believe to be the ultimate urban assault vehicle, the kick scooter! Don't go clicking off the episode quite yet. Maybe you've never considered the kick scooter as a viable transportation option. Maybe you've seen kids on kick scooters but didn't even know there are adult options available. You probably rode a scooter as a kid so why let your age get between you and the joy a kick scooter can bring!
Beyond the sheer fun there's also the benefit of speed and grace. A kick scooter can easily cover distances of 5-8 miles in an hour. You can zip down a block in the blink of an eye. The scooter has a narrow profile which allows it to be ridden in densely populated (or less densely populated areas too!) without needing a ton of space like a bicycle might need. The scooter is easy to step on and off and the speed can be adjusted easily by applying the breaks or coasting further between kicks.
Kick scooters are a great form of exercise. If you're unable to job or run for example you could easily jump on a scooter! It's much easier on your bones and joints. Maybe you're overweight and looking for a low impact exercise to help reduce your weight. Get on a kick scooter!
Kick scooters are a family friendly activity. People of all ages and skill levels can jump on and be having fun in little or no time. I truly think you'll enjoy being on a kick scooter. If you're one of the people who already have a kick scooter send me an email and tell me what you love most about it! What brand do you have? How long have you been scooting? I'd love to hear from you.
