Proclaim your scooter pride by purchasing a scooter tee shirt, mug, or hat at my scooter store from CafePress.
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 fun ways we 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?
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 try to post at least weekly, sometimes more, sometimes less, 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 find a 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!):
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:
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.
The sales guy at Scooters of Boise steered me to one, 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.
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 scooting 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 touring tips here too... but for now, keep on scooting for fun! I know I will...
