5 W's (Who, What, Why, Where, When)
Who: Wim Oubouter was the creator of the first official kick scooter
When: It was patented by Wim in 1990
Why: His younger sister had one leg that was shorter than
the other, and while a bicycle would not work for her, a scooter was the
perfect design. He also commented that he needed a form of transportation that
could take him to his favorite sausage shop a few blocks away. It was too far
to walk, but too close to bother starting up the car. A scooter was the best
option for this kind of journey. He based his version of the scooter off
designs from almost 100 years earlier, but his was the first non-primitive form
of it. Razor then revolutionized their own idea of the kick scooter.
What: The kick scooter, commonly known as the Razor scooter
after a company named Razor revolutionized scooters in the 2000's. It is a
plank commonly made out of aluminum with one wheel on each end, and handlebars
coming off a medal rod at the front.
Where: Wim Oubouter was living in Zurich when he came up with the idea for his brilliant creation.

I got this kick scooter from Bizarkdeal for my daughter and the day care kids for something fun to play on. Turns much more easily that other onse we have used. It was very simple to assemble. Absolutely love it and the quality is outstanding.
ReplyDeleteI really like what you have here concerning blogs. I liked the short quips on examples of a poor blog. Sometimes a person does not realize that he/she is spamming when he/she appears to be doing that. You do a great with the areas of blogging and I will certainly make it a point to come back and check out a few other areas. I enjoyed reading about getting off the topic. I have more trouble doing that than anything I do when I make a site. I make a site myself at www.mykickscooter.com
