"in a country with totally predicatable and usually dry weather, in a city with wide sidewalks, wide roads and cycle paths everywhere, why wouldn't you?"
Well of course the opposite is true here in Norwich. It rains a fair bit, pavements are narrow,as are the roads in the centre which were built to service a medieval city. Norwich is also, somehat surprisingly to many, quite hilly so its not ideally designed for scooters. Apart from that the City is quite compact.. I live a couple of miles form the centre and find walking is the best way to get around. There is also a perfectly adequate bus service in the City if you dont want to walk.
The scooters lie around in heaps unused and unloved. I rather expect they will go the way of the OVO bikes.
Perhaps they might be better suited to somewhere like Milton Keynes
