    From the local annals of scooter failures...

    This from Donna Simpson, singer for "The Waifs"... not much further detail about the accident though.

    Oh my. LOL I love my e scooter. Andrea and I each have one and love to
    scoot around the bike paths in teh city. I also use it to get to my car
    every day because I've done something to my back where I can't stand or
    walk but I can go up and down stairs all day long. Currently using the
    stairs in my building as my excersize machine as I can't walk.

    I wonder if I should define scooter... these are the electric version of the thing you used to have as a kid that you kicked to scoot along. As opposed
    to the scooter that's more like a small electric powered bike similar in form to something like a vespa.

    I had the small version for a while until someone ran off with it out of the garage. It was a nifty thing to wander over to the local shops, up to the school in case of problems. All sorts of nifty short distance goodies.

    I an commiserate with the back although yours sounds worse than mine. For the most part I can walk, but can't stand or sit for to long.

    That's the one! I'm 50 and love the stupid thing. Scoot around getting
    looks from people. It's a blast.

    It's new too... Never had this until about 3 weeks ago. On some meds now waiting for the imaging. I just want to know what it is.
