New Product Will Reduce Foldable Scooter Accidents

A newly developed scooter accessory will reduce the troubling number of scooter accidents and enhance scooter performance. Scooter Roller is an after-market accessory designed to keep you moving over bumps, dips and uneven surfaces.
Due to their low ground clearance, a scooters underside will often come in contact with the ground, causing an abrupt and sudden stop. This significant danger sends the rider falling to the ground as has been reflected by the more than 10,000 recent scooter injuries. Scooter Roller addresses this problem. Scooter Roller is a set of in-line rollers that attaches to the underside of your scooter. Instead of stopping abruptly, the scooter will continue to roll over the obstacle. "It's like upgrading your scooter to four-wheel drive." Said 23 year old Daniel Freeman, inventor of Scooter Roller. Scooter Roller is simple yet effective and is sure to reduce scooter injuries this holiday season.

Scooter Roller retails at $19.95 and is available at Brookstone stores across the country or at www.scooterroller.com
