The traditional gas powered scooter is a vehicle with roots going back to the world wars, but they remain something of a red herring in today’s society. In a nation obsessed with gasoline powered transportation, they have somehow been relegated to a side-note among popular culture; an oddity mentioned as an aside.
And yet, the format and design of the scooter offers its drivers unique advantages over other forms of ride. Not only are they unparalleled for efficiency, but they also offer practicalities found among no other form of its class.
Moreover, the experience of riding such a vehicle offers a unique perspective on the structural issues of one’s environment and the society in which we exist. By choosing to extract ourselves from the sheltered bubbles of steel and glass we live within, we can experience surprising joys and curious moments.
In this episode we explore the many reasons for choosing to try the scooter, and we address the issues that might arise. With years of real-world experience to draw upon, my aim is to present an honest and sober perspective on an option I think too few people consider.
