I will take advantage of this. I am active on the Skyscaper City forum and like to make a photographic record of the ongoing development here in town, but walking all over the place can be a real drag sometimes, especially during the winter. Taking the car is even worse, as people get really pissed off when you just stop dead in traffic and start taking pictures of construction sites!

I agree that the idea isn't a bad one, but it's all about location! A West Seattle scooter rental does sound like a great idea though--for running errands or for folks to troll and enjoy Alki with.

I like that idea in West Seattle. Alaska Junction would be pretty good.

Not a bad idea, seeing that the training is included, but a poor choice of neighborhoods, I think. SLU has the T - and is close enough to other transit options to making using the bus for running that errand fairly efficient, but what if you could get a flex scooter from, say, Greenlake or Phinney or my hood, West Seattle? Plus, what you said about the traffic around there. It's often more efficient - and safer - to walk.
