They seem to prefer mobility scooters, but anything that has a motor will do. Im actually leery of people in electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters in the bad parts of my city because they are mostly shady fucks using them. They steal scooters from porches, they steal them from each other or grifting charity organizations for used ones. They are like urban ATVs for drug addicts over 40.Around here, there are plenty of hoboes who use power wheelchairs or mobility scooters as their mobile battle stations--it lacks the storage space of a shopping cart, but they're allowed to take it into stores or other public places, and get leeway from civilians.
There was a legless (below the knees) black guy in my downtown area that had developed an entire cottage industry giving rides to female drug addicts around town, even had a “downtown express” sign on his chair for awhile. Of course they had to sit in his lap to get the ride. Natch. He’d offer any woman walking down the street a ride, but only a certain type was prone to accepting his offer.
