Kevin - I surprised my wife with a scooter for Christmas two years ago. I had a very good helmet on order, but the neurosurgeon said it probably would not have helped. Someone pulled out in front of her on her first ride and she spent three days in ICU, and still suffers some effects from the traumatic brain injury. Scooters can be fun, but too easily become dangerous even if you do everything right [which my wonderful wife did not]. BillR

Drivers_was Fuel mileage Hi, John. I'm so sorry for your loss. My wife, Ayla, has been thinking of getting a motor scooter to ride around. She's blind in one eye with some vision in the other, and the thought scares me to death. We do ride our side-by-side recumbent tandem, but it's highly visible and about 4' wide and hard to miss. Of course, our airhorn has saved us on several occasions when drivers have pulled out of driveways totally unaware of our presence.
