Electric Mobility

There was an elderly individual on one of those electric mobility scooters. The battery was faulty (he man was constantly kicking it) and the mobile chair was extremely jerkey. Suddenly, the chair got some juice and the chair bolted across the walkway toward me at lightning speed. I thought I was going to get run over. Fortunately, he swerved and sped toward the busy intersection.

He managed to stop before he hit an oncoming truck.

Moral of the story? We need better energy storage technology.
