I am thinking about getting one of these. Got the idea from this article and this article. My firm is moving to a new building, which complicates my commute a bit (I have to balance the new location with the need to find cheap parking with need to pick my girls up from daycare, which is now going to be much farther away from my building. The bus route that I used to take from the ramp to my employer is less direct now, too). The thinking is I'd drive to the ramp across the river, take the scooter out of the back of my car, and scooter to my employer. I could use the scooter to run errands during lunch, too, since we're not going to be in the heart of downtown anymore. After work, I'd scooter to the ramp, then use the car to pick up the girls. The hitch will be getting my employer to allow me to store it (and maybe charge it) on-site. I also like the fact that it means I'd cut my car usage a little bit, as I could use it for quick errands from home. Environmentally friendly, etc.

I presume I'd have to wear a bicycle helmet. I also want to find out whether I can take it on the bus if, for example, it's raining cats and dogs when I leave work. Also, do you ride these gizmos on the street or the sidewalk? Anyone know anyone who owns one?
