On a walk down 3rd Avenue this afternoon, I came across a shiny line of electric scooters. I wondered “Is this some kind of scooter rental business I don’t know about?”
Turns out they are part of a collection of over 70 electric scooters that Richmond District resident Ed MacNeil has amassed. Some are foreign, including a baby blue scooter from Germany that can get 45 miles on a single charge. Others are zippy, with a top speed of about 22 miles per hour. Ed determined that by looking at me and estimating my weight – I didn’t ask him for the figure he used to calculate. 😉
Ed is trying to sell off most of his collection; prices range from $199 to $599. They’re actually great for the Richmond since most of the streets are pretty flat. So if you’re looking for a zippy ride, give Ed a call at 845-9618. And if I hear of a scooter sidewalk sale, I’ll let you know.
