Walking a half-mile on level ground takes about 10 minutes for a reasonably fit adult. On a kick scooter, you can travel the same distance in 3 minutes. For people who make frequent trips of about a half-mile, these savings can add up to several hours a week. They re fun. There is something liberating and fundamental about denying friction with two wheels and a platform.
Scooters enable social connections.
Two people can comfortably ride side by side on a walkway and carry on a conversation. Scooters work well in crowds at low speeds, enabling a rider to navigate a crowded boardwalk or campus path. Scooters are great for just hanging out, scooting from the cafe to the dorm or scooping out the surf. You can even get involved in scooter racing. They make it easy to get around.
