The Road to the Second Scooter (a portable one)

Don’t get me wrong, I love my Triad with it’s big tires and rear wheel drive. It’s also amazingly fast and great for outdoors and amusement parks.

However for indoors and at work I want one that’s a little smaller in width and also less intimidating to people in the hallways. Also driving to work in my Prius I’d like one that can be inside and that I don’t have to worry about putting a cover on if it rains.

I found a few that I researched for those criteria. Check out the list below with links to see them. They aren’t in any order and the links are just ones that are a good example of what I found for them. I also have no relationship with any company below, I did purchase the Glion eventually, but I have no relationship other than being a customer.

  • Smartscoot goes 3,5,and 7mph. Very compact
