Mobility scooters have been given a bad rap lately. Reporter Shawn McAvinue slipped on a high-visibility vest yesterday and tried to find out why.
'Nervously sucking on a barley sugar, I turned the speed dial from tortoise to hare, grabbed the heated steering grips and reached for the accelerator.
Was I about to discover a world of full-throttle thrills?
The power engaged and I silently weaved my way past the dawdling South Dunedin pedestrians.
A texting woman was given a courtesy blast on the horn, saving her from being collected by the bumper bar and front basket at 12kmh.
With the scooter's high windshield and glances of admiration from passersby, I felt like Ponch from the 1980s California Highway Patrol television show CHiPs. |

| Where is the best place to go and try out the kick scooter for adult. It really seems very costly and I want to be sure that it's something I'd feel safe on. |
