Buddha enjoys scooting too!





From Debbie:

I took advantage of one of the last days of the season for taking my "Silverbelle" out. My little pug, Buddha loves riding scooters, plus it's a good way for him to get some exercise. He used to ride on the floorboard of my GoGo (that doesn't work anymore), so I thought well at least he can run along with the scoot. I didn't think the triangular canvas pouch would support his weight, but low and behold, it does! So if anyone has a little dog, cat, or whatever that likes to join in the fun, this might work for them also. Buddha weighs 18 pounds and the velcro doesn't begin to pull away with him in the pouch. He runs until he gets tired and then I stop so he can climb on and ride for awhile. So now, come next Spring, I can look forward to taking my "scooter ridin' boy" on some Travelscoot adventures.

Grass

Here are Lynn Ellen and Misha again, and THIS time she's riding on grass, but it was flat and not thick. Misha is sitting at perfect attention.

My understanding is that TravelScoot doesn't recommend riding on grass or gravel, but obviously with certain types of grass and gravel it works. At least for short stretches.

Riding on Gravel (sung to the tune of "Walking on Sunshine")

This is Lynn Ellen, with San Francisco in the background. What an amazing picture.
And yes, that is hard-packed gravel she is riding on. I tried the same thing in my driveway and didn't even move an inch, so gravel isn't always TravelScoot-friendly, but in this lucky case, it was.

Riding on Carpet and Walking the Dog

I don't know if you all read the comments, so I'm moving Lynn Ellen's comment to a post. Lynn Ellen got her TravelScoot two days ago. The picture is of her walking her dog.

Yep. Mine arrived two days ago. I think it is just noisier on carpet. I rode down and up the ramp in front of my building with no problems and then took it home in a friend's truck, where we practiced folding and unfolding it. Yesterday I attached my dog's leash to my waist and took her uphill to the local church parking lot. We then practiced turns so she learns not to get in front of the scoot when I turn toward her. When we went back home I decided to save wear and tear on the brakes and I kept my feet on the ground and sort of walked downhill.
