Legalizing Electric Glyders - A different type of electric scooter

Post date: Jul 28, 2014 9:34:55 PM

Join me in my quest to legalize electric glyders.

LHP Story

Excuse to go outside with kids

Take them to school was a sad affair until we started taking the scooter then it became the best part or our day. People would look at us funny at first. But soon others started to join in...

And others....

Started visiting friends house, then the parks

The Police and the community accepted ..people would beep and wave as we go buy...and electric scooters became part of everyday life.

I spent the last 3 years developing a scooter that would be perfect for this lifestyle. I call it an electric glyder. It may sound crazy but I and others have found having your kids sitting down or standing in front of us is the safest way to cruise around as you both can see what is going on and squeezing them in between your knees when stopping would keep them safe.

Uses

#1. Policing the kids when playing on the street. Looking for cars driving up and warn kids or the cars to slow down. Kids on bikes, or their electric car, skate board, roller blades.

#2. Enjoyable way to spend time just cruising around while we talk sing and explore.

#3. Driving kids to school...

#4. Holidays Holloween, Christmas with music looking at lights, Trips to the store,pick up pizza, pick flowers, hunt squirrels, enjoy the sunset, dry our hair after a bath, sing, cat watching, breakfast, to boat rides, driving range, to the pool, to tennis, the beach,

3 years engineering a light high performance electric scooter that people will accept. Now it's time for us to request that they be legal. Current laws separate electric bicycles and require pedals to be legal. We need to get rid of the pedals and push for change in these laws.
