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

Scooting to Toronto’s Pride Parade

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!

How To Buy a GIO Electric Scooter

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.
