My buddy Brad needed wheels, and he had his eye on our Pastor's electric scooter for awhile. Brad's on disability and has limited resources, so he thought he couldn't afford the $1200 price tag that our Pastor laid out.
Enter Gio.
I followed the auctions for awhile and let Brad know that we could pick up a new scooter for less than $600, including taxes. He jumped at it. After what seemed like forever to him, the new scooter arrived, and we assembled it last night.
Here's Brad:
This is the box that filled up the entire cargo area of my Caravan:
Here's what we saw upon opening the lid:
Here's the first reveal with the box side open:
Here's the scooter after simply bolting the front wheel on:
After that, we had a couple of trim pieces and the trunk to install. The whole project was cake, except for the mosquitoes. The scooter is remarkably well equipped, it has plenty of storage and it comes with a rain cover. I was surprised to find out that the charger has a cooling fan that cycles until the battery is fully charged. Neat bike.
Brad will now be able to get around to the grocery store, Church, the Doctor and to the men's shelter where he volunteers. He's a very happy guy.
