Hey, I'm thinking about getting a bike (scooter) because where I work they're moving all of the parking to a lot across the main thoroughfare through town due to construction of a new building. The vertical elevation difference is 56 feet, and it's a quarter of a mile walk. My briefcase typically weighs 50 pounds due to textbooks, laptop, folders with lecture notes and homework papers, etc. So besides risking my life crossing that road, my GERD will give me problems if I have to draw my rolling briefcase up such a steep hill.
Anyone have any recommendations on a cheap scooter that is capable of going at least 50 mph? I live 1.3 miles from campus on a residential road, but people always go 50 mph or more in the 30 -40 mph zones.
Dunno what I'll do on rainy or cold days -- I guess I'll get my husband to drop me off.
Trust me -- I won't be doing maneuvers like in the video.
