sorry to inform the public but this year we have no scooter available. we also put a pause on our business. I martin Poos jr started this company almost a decade ago. why did i start this company? Affordable living was the reason 10 plus years ago now I made a presentation to Lincoln town council. I was trying to present the need for affordable transportation as also part of affordable living. I tried stressing the need for affordable transportation so I could look for and keep a job in my community without having to move out and at that time i was also complaining the high cost of rent which was all of my unemployment check and 65% of my regular wage when working. our mayor of Town of Lincoln, Ontario who was mayor at the time asked what affordable rent was. I replied 30% of one's wage is affordable, and rent has gone up 100% since that meeting. We had the NRT rideshare introduced to our area since and is 100% useless for those working or even looking for work. over the last decade i watch a dozen coworkers quit or loose a job because of transportation.I watched many families who were struggling with rent and paying car insurance have their kids pay the price of $300 to $400. I know many of you have the opportunity to go under your parents' insurance but those already living below means get punished more pay more. Same people you want to get off the system of poverty. Hey can't help themselves we wont let them so when my dad died every cent i got from him went into this business it would have helped with being able to retire .MY dad and I were home builders. its always been about affordable living to me its why i risked my retirement . MY problem could only afford a dozen scooters every major city and some not so big have bikeshare or kick start scooters on the streets as affordable transportation i personally don't agree with kick start but people don't agree with my Go on 2 wheels-scooter share but with my last dollar i wanted to show the need in Grimsby Beamsville and Smithville there is a need for affordable transportation when you talk affordable living its not just rent and food that is killing their ability to remove themselves from poverty and drive their future, it can cost as little as $6 a day to ride a scooter. but last year lost several scooters to damage and theft i expected that percentage for a large company it would be relatively no loss me i can't afford to continue at this time not giving up just my wallet is empty to prove a point. the need is there.
