there doesnt seem to be a big interest around here either..when you get to downtown, you see scoots around(mostly chinese jobs).. i did find a scoot shop that does a ride every sat. at 4., BUUUT, they work on the vintage ones(w/petals), and my scoot isnt allowed at the ride...W.T.H???.. said i have a scooter, they ride mopeds!!!!. RLMAO, ok, we both are slower than a bike...lmao
