Do you belong to a scooter club? Yes, St. Louis Scooter Club
My Story: I feel independent, free, and more relaxed when I'm on my scoot. We here in St. Louis have been getting together for about 9 months and we really like riding. You will see that we have many events planned this year.
In just a couple of weeks, we are meeting the K City group for a meet and greet in Columbia, MO. Watch for report afterwards. Should be great. We have weekly greets here in town. There are always pictures posted after it.
This week we will be looking at a club logo. We have about 100 member to the web site. Then about 10 to 15 who contribute daily to the site. And if you like a good sandwich, I know a great place by Purnia Farms. ![]()


A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.
Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.
One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.

I'm Back!
Yes, I have been noticeably absent from the site the past few months. I recently lost my mother to a long battle with COPD and was subsequently plagued with a bunch of minor health problems. But I'm better now & back full swing.
I had to delete over a hundred questions that had been submitted, some because they were too old for answers to still be valuable and many because they were written in text speak, which I don't accept on the site. PLEASE... use proper capitalization & punctuation, so I can publish your question/review, etc. without editing. Thanks! :)
Wondering why your scooter question never got posted?
Chances are, there is a good reason. Did you...
If you "checked yes" on any of the points above, then I've deleted your post. Sorry, but I have standards. Feel free to re-submit, following the instructions I have everywhere on the site.
Also... all submissions have to be reviewed by me, and that can take a few days sometimes. Comments go live without approval, but still take 30 to 60 minutes to show up, so don't repost them, please.
We have lots of unanswered questions... can you help? Also, check out our newest eScooter Club members We are growing every week!
