Grand Rapids has a Scooter club. They meet every Thursday at the Kava house in Eastown and ride together. I have seen them downtown Grand Rapids.........there was about a group of 10 people riding at that time.

The weather is good for this kind of transportation right now, however it could get very cold in the winter! but the savings could be worth it for sure!

Very fun indeed!
