When I was in Santa Monica at UCLA I saw these scooters everywhere. So many people riding them. I think it’s such a great idea! Not sure what the cost is????
I guess they have those in the bigger cities? I just saw them first going to L.A. It’s a great way to get around. I had so much fun on my knee scooter!🤗❤️️
I just looked up the Spin service agreement. The fees depend upon the level of service you choose, and is limited to $200 for a 24 period, the maximum time you can keep a scooter unlocked. After 48 hours, your are charged $1,300, plus other fees and a police report is filed. Once you’ve unlocked a scooter, you don’t want to leave it unattended while it’s unlocked that’s for sure.
I agree, if you stopped for coffee on the way, it would be a quite expensive cup if someone took off with it! I think they are a great idea, don’t you?
I just got an update from staff members who are using them. They said Spin recently change pricing so now it’s $1 to unlock a scooter and 25¢ per minute.
I believe that is the case. I haven’t been up to the university since they placed them downtown, I can’t say if the university has allowed them or not.
That’s where I see them all lined up around UCLA and around downtown.
I just learned that the scooters are banned on the University of New Mexico Campus because they are motorized vehicles. The first week they were introduced in Albuquerque, a woman got a DUI for riding one while drunk. Under New Mexico laws bicycles and motorized scooters fall under the same traffic laws as cars and trucks.
Thank you Timothy, you just made my morning. Love a good giggle with my morning coffee! I’m surprised she didn’t fall off or run into anything! Thank you!
She did lead police on a chase from what I was told.
😂🤗I bet she did….what a sight it must have been. I love talking with you Timothy! You made my morning so happy my coffee actually taste better!! ☺️❤️️
Always happy to give your coffee a boost. Albuquerque is at the crossroads of I-40 and I-25. Most anyone traveling east, west, north, or south stops in Albuquerque. Many decide to stay here and we get some interesting goings on as a result.
I’ve stayed their before non my way to Texas. I loved the people I met. So friendly!
Hi Kelley. There are a lot of friendly people here.
❤️️🤗❤️️
Now that’s interesting. I saw the scooters waiting to be used on the sidewalks in the weeks before I left. Although I never saw anyone use them. I guess that one is working over time. 😀 Hugs.
Off Center & Not Even 
I think these electric steps are great and dangerous 🙂
Thanks, Harry!

Hi Kelly. A staff member whose been riding the scooters told me they are 15¢ per minute. I’m sure the cost per minute varies by city.
Thank you so much Timothy..I had no idea..but I was sure wondering. Whete are you located.
The scooters are in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. I work in downtown, but live 17 miles north of Albuquerque.

Wow! That is spendy if traveling far. Aren’t they usually used like around universities and downtown?

It seems to be. Thanks, Teagan!
Ha ha! That might be a problem going down hill!
Fortunately downtown is flat. Thanks, Tiffany.
Love this photo Timothy!
Thanks, Hollie!
I love scooters more than bykes, but still prefer cars, especially during hot summer days:)
I prefer to walk in the areas the scooters are available. I used to bike a lot, but it’s become too dangerous. Thanks, Victoria!
I have to agree. It’s too dangerous to bike in Manhattan now!
Lol! another goodie & lots of fun!!!
Thanks, Resa.
If these motorized things are going to become popular I’m gonna start training as an orthopaedic surgeon. 🙂
Love these quirky images.
A lot of people are getting hurt on them from what I’ve read.
The scooters look like a nice idea, but I love walking. 🙂
They don’t make a lot of sense for transportation in downtown. Everything is in easy walking distance. Thanks, Lavinia!
