Skid row is for one thing and one thing only. Filling a backseat with felons. No backseat to fill on a Segway. Purpose defeated.

The Segways and scooters have their place, although I'm not sure that Skid Row is it. Segways were used at BWI airport by the MTA cops, and they liked them.Tim Dees, now writing as a plain old forum member, his superpowers lost to an encounter with gold kryptonite.

The scooters are fine for airports or malls, but not in a high crime area.
How long until one is jacked or tagged by some local "honor student"? I'm guessing not long at all....Originally posted by kontemplerandeWithout Germany, you would not have won World War 2.

HAHAHA!!!
We have a really nice outdoor mall out here and the Sheriff Deputies ride those two wheeled scooters like you would see in Reno 911!! Those are Hilarious!!
These are a little "Cooler" I guess... I like how they say that it will give them a better view. But almost 9k? Is it worth it?

What's the old line about riding a scooter/Vespa? It's like "bumping fuzzies" with an "overweight woman." Sure, it may be fun, but you wouldn't want your friends to know you did it!"You're never fully dressed without a smile."
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Three things I know for sure: (1) No bad deed goes unrewarded, (2) No good deed goes unpunished, and (3) It is entirely possible to push the most devoted, loyal and caring person beyond the point where they no longer give a 5h!t.

I'll keep my Mtn. Bike. Last year my Chief mentioned the idea of a Segway to me and I begged him not to get them. An officer would look like an idiot on the electric rides. Besides, I enjoy the physical side of Bike Patrol.
