    I got an escooter almost a year ago. I did not use it a lot at first, but slowly I started to take it to the store more often. Then my wife got an in office job. I gave the scooter to her and ended up getting myself a larger one. I ride it all the time now. And now that we both have one we have started to go places together on them.

    We do both still have our cars, where we live (rural New Mexico) it would be fairly difficult for us to totally do away with them, plus I have not figured out how to transport our dogs with the scooters yet.

      How often are you transporting dogs, could you just pay someone (like a taxi driver) to do it when needed? Even if you have to offer extra for the dogs.

        Every day. We take them to a hiking trail by the river every morning. And the vet is 54 miles away.

        As far as a taxi, that is 80 miles away.

          Driving a dog to walk it just seems strange to me, but I guess some people have to.

            I would rather drive the two miles to walk with the dogs in the woods with a dirt path, shade, wildlife, and no roving packs of aggressive dogs
