What do YOU wear on your electric scooter??

...I don't know--not a casual short jean skirt I do know!
We just got an electric scooter yesterday quite by chance--so thought I'd ask up.
(This is intended as tongue in cheek with bits of experiences please)
Yes have a helmet.
Gregory Peck is a good answer.

I would think shorts or pants.

Or Gregory Peck. That would work as well.

I rode one a little bit for work to get between the outbuildings (don't tell my mom) - I wore a skirt.

If I had an electric scooter, I would go Full Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday!

We use our electric scooter weekly to take out the trash cans 1/2-mile to the main road. Here's my husband dressed in his old torn cargo shorts, faded t-shirt, old Keens, and old-fashioned bicycle helmet:

The last time I rode on a scooter, I was in my 20's and on a Greek island, and I wore a bikini.

Sure is nice to see you posting! I wondered where you'd been.

Fun story - my aunt was very pretty when she was young, and there were all sorts of guys that wanted to catch her eye. She really loved scooters, so my dad (who was very young at the time) told one of the football (soccer) heroes he saw in high school that his sister really liked Vespas.

He shows up to their home on a Vespa. He is now my uncle.

When I was in San Francisco last year I happened to notice the same woman going past our hotel a few mornings in a row on her scooter. She was dressed in an awesome black leather jacket, jeans, tall black leather boots, big scarf, with a black messenger bag. Every time I saw her I secretly wished for her life, just for a moment.

When I was in art school back in the fabulous 80's I had a moped. I wasn't the most out-there looking art student, by far, but I was pretty out-there for the small midwestern town where I went to school. I didn't have an awesome black leather jacket, but I did have a messenger bag, and some really hot boots that I bought on an art tour in Paris.

Thanks ladies!
Kristin--pants or shorts (or long skirt) is a good idea--I took off in an above the knee cut skirt smiling away up until I had to come to a stop and put down a foot to hold up the bike to make a right turn--whooops show time. I stayed in the right lane all the way home to change.
Lyn--I couldn't imagine you on a scooter in anything but a skirt!! That's a great awwwwwww Aunt and Uncle story --and something about a Vespa....
Alicat--somehow that does not surprise me either (Ali+scooter+Greek Isle=bikini) LOL.
Ginko--that is a freaking awesome pic!!
Betti--yeah I think artsy coolness aswell--love to seem artsy cool while getting milk and get a baguette for good measure,
I had moped in the early 80s too--it still sits in my parents basement--it like me needs work LOL.
Mary--We are working on Audrey eyes and scarf design for decals to stick on the bike. It came as a blank black "canvas" without make/model indicators so we thought we'd make them ourselves.

OMG Rachylou--I never thought of Mods!! LOL
I may have to see if I can find a bunch of rear view mirrors and sissybars LOL!

It looks like a scooter but it's considered a power assisted BICYCLE--yes it has removable pedals. A Vespa is prob lighter tho. Either way a car could make a mess of a person so it is a bit scary.

Well, as someone who lived through the 60s, there is only one answer to your question.

Patty, nice to see you again! <waving>
I have no experience whatsoever (I am afraid of everything with fewer than 4 wheels) but I saw Italian ladies riding bikes and scooters in heels and flared skirts!
BTW, I am planning to be in Oakville this Saturday (my son has some test in Sheridan) and would love to meet if you are available.

Patty

Hi Sveta--waving back!
Sorry can't make it to Sheridan--the scooter is exciting cos it's now our only working set of wheels and won't make that trip LOL. Thanks for thinking of me tho!
What is your son testing for?? He must be stoked!!!!!! Dave is asking how he's doing.
Hope you're having a good summer Sveta !

Patty

Scooter clothes --hot pants?? Those are the skirts with shorts of the 60s/70s those would work and eliminate the chances of recreating the end credits of Laugh-in (man on tricycle stopping and falling over)--to conserve modesty LOL.
