I was surpised after I started riding the scooter, how many of my trips turned out to be the short errands that the scooter was a perfect fit. On top of the fact that I am saving on gas as well as wear and tear on my car, it is fun and I can pull up to the front door of most establishments instead of spending time looking for a parking spot. I use the Scooter to comute to work which accounts for approximately 75 miles per week. I have gone from filling up my truck every 10 days to about once a month during the summer.
I have not had any mechanical issues with the scooter to date. Take it for granted now that I can jump on and off I go.
Weather can be an issue but I surprise, even myself, how often I elect to ride instead of get in the car, even with the threat of rain. (Have my shell stuffed under my seat just in case.) Winter and ice typicaly shut down my riding between Nov and March but other than that, I suspect I use the scooter for 75% of my in town commuting needs.
Even though I am far from "green" in terms of my other energy needs, I do feel good about my contribution riding the scooter.

I have really been enjoying my electric scooter. It is great for zipping around town. When I absolutely need a car I use a car-share service. I do wish there were more places that accommodated electric vehicle re-charging though. I get an average of 20 miles per charge---it starts beeping between the 2 and 3 range after I have been using the power setting and getting up to 35-40 miles an hour! The only problem I have had that is driving me crazy is that the rear view mirrors become loose and spin around. I got them tightened and glued back but then the electric vehicle place in town went out of business and I need to find a place to take it. I was told this is a normal thing for scooters and motorcycles....so, I suppose I need to figure out how to maintain it myself. Overall, the scooter is a blast and SO quiet! I do have people ask me, "Is that electric?" I feel proud to be using this vehicle!
