So I had a brief discussion with a scooter guy today, after he buzzed by me when I was going about 20mph. He was going 30, easy.

I caught up with him at the light.

Me: So did you hack the scooter to go that fast?

SG: No, store bought original.

Me: It’s illegal, max speed is 15mph.

SG: I don’t think so, otherwise the store wouldn’t sell it.

So apparently some store is selling illegal scooters. Great.
