Do they have a horn?

Do they have a horn?

Yes....and 10 heads.

I think it would be cheaper and easyer just to ride a bike, a bike can go faster than 12mph and you dont have to recharge it.

[Revolting cat!]

Ah, the power of lobbying! The best battery operated scooter (Xootr) goes for under one grand and weighs twenty pounds. There are less expensive (and heavier) models. This sixty nine pound baby will costs the corporations and the gubmint six grand and the so-called consumer model will go for three. I say, go for it consumers of America. Credit card companies are waiting!

Surely such laws would also allow other ($200) electric scooters too? or just Segway?

[capt. norm]

I Guess the thieves are holding seminars right now on how to properly steal these scooters.

[SamAdams76]

If these things are so safe, why is everybody riding them wearing crash helmets?

[IronJack]

Of course, Big Brother has to step in and regulate these things. If it's new, it needs the stamp of The Overlords before it's acceptable.

There's already an Ambulance-chasing lawyer preparing a class-action lawsuit against it...before the first ones are even sold...
