Motorcycle Sport & Leisure  |  680 - December 2019
Motorcycling is changing. Fast. Not a week goes by without a bit of news telling us that in one way or another, the days of petrol-guzzling bikes are over. They are, if you believe the news, the modern equivalents of dinosaurs waiting for their big comet to hit the earth and bring with it the blessed relief from all this anti-biking sentiment. But maybe it’s not a case of all or nothing.
There is no denying that the world of riding is changing, but perhaps this is just the end of motorcycling as we know it—not the end of it all. It’s a thought that popped into my head when I was on holiday in Spain this summer. I watched an old lady wobble around on an electric scooter. It was not a scooter in the sense that us bikers think of them, but one of those stand-on things that you can rent in cities around the world.
Anyways, this lady of generous Teutonic proportions was hurtling down the pavement in one of Europe’s favourite holiday towns. She was screaming wildly and completely out of her depth – but by the looks of it, having a fantastic time doing it. Judging by her riding skills, this was someone who hadn’t been on two wheels since her teens. It was just a granny getting to grips with the ride that her grandson had hired for a few Euros. It was brave, and she was enjoying herself — I salute her!
