The Nimble Cargo Scooter

By Jeffrey the Barak. The Dwell On Design Show is not about scooters, but among the pre-fab homes, bathroom fixtures and forward-thinking designs for the homes of tomorrow, you do occasionally see certain bicycles, and in this case a variation of a warehouse cargo scooter called the Nimble.

    I imagine the rider would have to be fairly strong and riding it on a sidewalk somewhat difficult. My thought was that given it is a cart that can be scooted, the rider has both options, which is a plus. I can’t see riding one to a fishing location, for example, but I can see riding/walking, with benefits on both sides. The biggest benefit would be on good, smooth, flat, non-curvy pavement, as you said. IMHO, it needs brakes as a front load might make it difficult to control going slightly downhill. (I once took a heavy relative on a wheelchair ride through the San Diego Zoo and found that I couldn’t control the wheelchair under downhill conditions. She had to walk . . .

    The scooter is pretty heavy, what more if the basket is loaded with other things. On the other hand, I don’t see myself riding with this all the time. It might be more convenient to walk along side the scooter. The basket is surprisingly huge, which is a big plus. the only thing that bothers me about this scooter is the space between the bar and the rear wheel. There’s not enough space to ride around comfortably without thinking of squeezing in. Despite that it’s very convenient for moving stuff around. The wheels roll smoothly, and it’s very easy to push or pull around.
