Scootering for Fun...

That's the Scootin' Life!

Scootering for fun is what I do... how about you?

Truly, though, isn't scooter fun the best? I mean, when you just gotta scoot, there's nothing else for it.

I thought I'd dedicate this section of my site to all of the great ways we can have fun with our scooters. I expect it to grow over time, and I'm certainly open to your suggestions.

Tell me... what are the ways that you go scooting for fun? Do you just tool around town... challenge yourself to see how much you can carry on one little scooter? Try to hang with the big boys (if you have one of those 650cc scoots)? Go on long trips into the mountains (my goal)?

One of the best ways to share your scooter stories is by joining our virtual online scooter club...

Join The eScooter Club & Become Part of Our Community!

Here are a few of our members...

You can post your own profile there or just browse profiles of the people who are already there. It's purely scooting for fun, all the way. Won't you join us?

... Or Participate in Our New Scooter Forum!

Brand new in August 2009, our Motor Scooters Guide (MSG) Forum is designed to help my readers connect with one another by discussing scooter brands and models, asking and answering questions and arranging group rides or organizing local scooter clubs. It's all there, just for you...

Follow My Adventures

If you'd like to keep up with my scooting adventures and scooting life, check out my blog. You'll see my latest post headlines in the box to the left. I post as often as I can, depending on what's happening in my life.

In addition to my own "exciting" scootin' tales, I may even post reviews, tips, and alerts on new eScooter Club members. Feel free to post your comments on the blog too.

Other Scooter Clubs

Did you see the video on the Home page about the rise in popularity and acceptance of scootering in the US in recent years? It's true... you're seeing more and more scooters on the roads all the time, partly because of the high cost of gas, partly out of concern for the environment, and partly because scooting for fun has just become so mainstream.

One of the ways that people have scooter fun is by joining a scooter club in their local area. This can be a great way to meet other passionate scooter owners, get tips on customizing and maintenance, and participate in fun scooter group rides.

To organize your own local scooter club, you can use our Scooter Forum. Or, to find an existing scooter club in your area, use the search box below. Just enter a term like "scooter club" + boise (or wherever your town is) and see what you find. I can't guarantee there's a scooter club in every area of the US at this point, but if you live near a city, there probably IS one near you!

By the way, if I think there's enough interest, I might start a directory service here for your local clubs. If you'd like that, please email me using by contact form. I'd love to hear from you!

Here's a cool map too, where you can see some scooter owners (and add yourself – see if you can find me there, near Boise!):

Scooter Group Rides

Group rides can be another way to make great scooter friends, not to mention just to have plain old-fashioned fun. So, if you just gotta scoot, find a group ride in your town.

If there's a scooter dealer, you might start there. I know my local scooter dealer, Scooters of Boise, has a weekly ride. I haven't been able to participate yet, but I hope to soon.

You could also check out Meetup.com to find like-minded scooter fanatics near you. I didn't find much that was current in my hometown, but your experience might be different:

Or, if you can't find a local group ride, how about a virtual group ride? Check it out...

Or organize your own group ride in our Scooter Forum.

Scooter Discussion Boards

Scooter discussion boards can also be a fun place (if you have the time) to find scooter reviews, meet scooter lovers, and even find out about local events.

Of course, the one I'm going to recommend first is my own! It's brand new in August 2009, and I'm hoping to make it the best place to meet scooter lovers on the Web! Check it out...

The sales guy at Scooters of Boise steered me to ModernBuddy, when I was looking for more information on the Genuine Buddy before I bought it. I really appreciated the tip and reading about real people's experiences really did help me to make a more informed buying decision.

ScootDawg.com and ScooterDiva.com are two other popular scooter discussion forums, if you want to check them out...

Again, you can use the Google search box to find a discussion board relevant to your particular type of scooter (or to scooters in general, if you're still not sure which one you want to buy):

Scooter Events

There are also many annual and semi-annual scooter events that you can take part in. Talk about the ultimate in scootering for fun! There's one coming up in June here in Boise called Scooterpalooza that I hope to go to. Rides, dinners, all round fun... can't wait! Scoot.net has tons of events listed like this all over the US and even Canada.

I happen to think scooter fun is limited only by our imagination, but it remains to be seen how my readers feel...

In the future, I'll add some scootering touring tips here too... but for now, keep on scooting for fun! I know I will...
