Here you go. Electric scooters for all the personal transportation one needs.

They start at $150; I got a few no-name Taiwan knock-offs for under $100 — with a few shortcomings. But there’s a tipping point out there waiting to happen — when people realize, this is the solution for a lot of problems in modern life.

Walking and standing for many people is not exercise or a virtue; it can be torture.

Some people give you looks as though they resent your not being crippled to use one — and that you actually have an advantage. The major handicap is the thinking about these things.

I have a small motorhome with a foldable carry rack on the back that is 2’ x 4.5’. I can lift fiarly heavy things but cannot carry them off, so do you have a reccommendation for a gas powered from the list at the link? I need to be able to pick it up and place it on the rack, then take it down and drive it around, then return it to the rack. I’ve avoided an electric because of distance on hilly ground. My current solution is to rent a car from Enterprise (they bring it to you) when I need to stay somewhere while I do my laundry and shopping. A backpack (I have two for different uses) and a good scooter would be a better solution.
