I’ve logged a lot of hours on the scooter, and a lot of kilometers across Toronto.

All the while, I’ve been taking photos of my adventures and experiences. Here are some:

Scooting to Toronto’s Pride Parade

Posted in Exploring Toronto, Toronto Electric Scooter, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 5, 2010 | 2 Comments »

I’m someone who enjoys people watching at the best of times, but the Pride Parade provided an excellent anthropological opportunity to observe the human species in all its diversity! There was a fair share of svelte young topless guys, as well as a number of hipsters wearing clothes far more trendy than my own. Boas and beads abounded. There were women in costume, men dressed as women, and dogs sporting doggie “bondage” gear. Couples walked hand in hand. They kissed. The energy in the air was palpable. This was the levity that Toronto needed after the G20.

How To Buy a GIO Electric Scooter

Posted in How To, Toronto Electric Scooter, tagged , , , , , , , , on June 22, 2010 | 4 Comments »

When I meet people on the street, they usually ask me how much the GIO electric scooters go for. They say “How much does one of those cost? $2000? $1500?” They’re always surprised to hear that they retail for $1000, but can be bought for less on the auction. One of the GIO electric scooter advantages is a matter of price point. Compared to a gas-powered scooter, which requires a motorcycle license, plates and insurance (not to mention regular visits to the pumps), a GIO electric scooter is incredibly affordable! Since getting the scooter, I’ve saved almost $250 in TTC fare, gas and parking.

What I’m trying to say is: if you watch the auction, you can get your own GIO scooter for around $260. It can save you money.

Toronto’s history is vibrant. The city, beautiful. I find that it’s easy to take it for granted. Doors Open Toronto is an annual event in which communities, businesses and people from across the city open their doors (hence the name) to the public, and allow community members access to parts of the city that are usually closed off. It is an event that reminds us of how interesting and dynamic Toronto is.

Out of the Box: Assembling My E-Bike

Posted in Toronto Electric Scooter, tagged , , , , on May 19, 2010 | 14 Comments »

Yesterday, my shiny orange and black e-bike arrived! I am pleased to report that I hadn’t over-hyped this thing. It is as cool as I had hoped it would be. At 4:30 p.m. yesterday, the delivery truck arrived, leaving behind an enormous (and incredibly heavy) box. I immediately set to the task of unpacking and assembling my brand new electric scooter.
