I thought the same thing until I got an infection in the bone of my ankle and couldn't walk for 3 months. God damn those scooters suck. They are embarrassing to drive, they are clumsy to try to get on/off with only one leg, and they had nowhere to hold my crutches. Also, when someone sees a early 20s guy on a scooter they have no motivation to move. You know all those times you awkwardly squeeze between/around oblivious people who are blocking the aisle? I couldn't do that, so I would have to just sit there and wait while two grannies discuss tomatoes.
