I'm trying to make a few changes to the scooter. First, for health & safety, it's kind of gross to be handling the same grips for 8 weeks & I'm not quite sure the proper way to clean them. I-Pod covers fit perfectly (but don't match LOL) over the handlebar grips. They will wash quite easily. The next addition is a small basket on the front. Not too big but big enough for the important things like my flashlight for night time scooting, a can of diet coke, etc. My next step will be something to cover & give extra padding to the knee cushion. Watch here for further updates.
