Scooters roll deep at CES 2016

Scooters are definitely a thing. Over the last few months in San Francisco I’ve noticed more and more people using them to (sometimes annoyingly) zip around downtown. I prefer walking myself, but I get why they’re a fun way to get to and from your house, bus or train. However, they’ll always evoke a Little Rascals vibe to me. Hmmm, is it time to try to reboot that again?

Anyway here are a few scooters that were on display at CES 2016 in Las Vegas.
