Nah, an MP-3 would be better. But you'd get better parking with the other one.

I actually saw a small tractor designed like that once. Guy was wheelchair-bound and he just drove the whole chair into the back of the thing. And then I guess he must've locked it down somehow.

In any case, it's quite a brilliant solution.

Lotta scoots in that video. Where is that?

I'm guessing it's because they don't want the handicapped speeding down the halls, running over pedestrians.

Looks like this is not US. Road sign was in a foreign language. But wow, that was a lot of scooters out there

Luna how is your recovery going? Please say you'll be making a full recovery! Well as full as someone can in that situation. I can imagine the physical pain but I can't the mental hurdles. But seriously what's the new bike going to be?

Sorry Lokky, I could be wrong. After your post I looked at a couple other signs and I have no idea which country it is. The first number I looked at is a China prefix, but there weren't enough total digits for a number in China. It could potentially be Taiwan, but there aren't enough total digits either. So I have no idea.

Wherever it is, it's in a warmer climate judging from the plants.

Yeah, it's Taiwan. I have no idea what the "too short of a number for China with a China prefix" number is. But it's the first number I saw, so I figured it was China. But I just noticed the 2 signs on a fence right at the beginning of the video, as well as a building sign, and all 3 are Taipei cell phone numbers.

So you were right. Sorry.

I'm wondering why both scooters pulled over for him and let him go by in the end....is he a police officer or something? I didn't get the sense that he was... :?:

I have seen some very very very cool Ruckus trikes, low & groovy looking. So far those seem to be the only 2 wheel in the back trike that does not look absolutely silly.

And hopefully you're on the mend as well. Thank you for your advice about my endoscopic repair and telling me NOT to ride - That's advice best taken from a fellow scooter rider who KNOWS how much it can suck to not be able to ride!

No, but... I guess it's just because everybody's so polite in eastern/asian countries. That's my impression anyway. Or maybe they wanted the chance to stop and gawk :shock: that's what I would've done, lol.

Haha, you're welcome. I hope you're doing well. It does suck not being able to ride... but I'll be able to again someday :)
