It's the New Walking

摘要

Retiree robert knievel, better known as '70s motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel, got an odd request a few years ago from overweight neighbor. "He was outside and said, 'Hey, Evel, I'm getting some exercise. You should join me'," the 67-year-old recalls. Far from jogging, however, the neighbor was scooting—atop a three-wheeled, battery-powered vehicle with a top speed of 4mph. "I thought, 'Well, hell, he's not exercising, he's riding'," says Knievel. But the man who once jumped his motorcycle over 14 Greyhound buses went out and bought his own three-wheeler—and then signed up as a spokesman for a leading scooter company.''
