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.
