“But I wouldn'tt chastise anyone for choosing a disabled persons scooter for that purpose I suppose.”
Nice way to phrase that. Nice spin. NOW, nobody is using a disabled persons scooter, they are using a scooter.
AS for it taking up space, my scooter has a 30” wheel span, 30” from wheel to wheel. I have seen butts bigger than that.

WRONG!
I quote to you the first two lines of the article we are all discussing:
"In increasing numbers, Las Vegas tourists exhausted by the four miles of gluttony laid out before them are getting around on electric "mobility scooters." Don't think trendy Vespa motorbikes. Think updated wheelchairs. "
Wheelchairs are for the disabled. If you have a problem with that definition, don't complain to me about it. It didn't come from me. But that definition does make perfect sense as far as I'm concerned. If there is anyone attempting spin, I'd say it is you.
