It's okay. The scooter doesn't belong to us.

We have stayed in touch for quite a few years with a couch-surfer friend. She stayed in Donnybrook at a hostel so she’d have transport to the various orchards where she was working but she came to stay with us at weekends.
She loves the heat and has a house in Darwin. At the moment, she has rented a room in Perth and is a FIFO worker (fly in, fly out) on an isolated mine site. She has bought an EScooter to use in Perth and had it delivered to us because she is only in Perth six days out of fourteen.
The scooter arrived yesterday and Vince put it together this morning and tested it. He only rode it up and down the street once so please don’t pick on him for not having a helmet.
The first photo shows how it can fold down, able to be taken on a bus or train. The second shows Vince test-driving it.

She is on sick leave at the moment as she got something in her eye. She might pick it up in a day or two.

It doesn't really hurt us to help and she doesn't seem to have anyone else to call on. She is very 'Germanic' - forceful and a bit hard to understand although she has been in Australia for years. She doesn't seem to have many friends.

I hope it works out for her. I once had one of those fell off it, and skinned my knee pretty well. I prefer the sit down kind.

It's nice that it can be fold down. More flexible.
