Scooter Rentals Coming to Decatur
Decatur Metro | September 15, 2008Asst. City Manager Linda Harris gives us a few sneak peaks at the upcoming October Focus. Here’s the first…
Dad’s Zip Motor Scooter is opening on Church Street. They offer scooter rentals by the hour, day and month. Helmets and gas are included. Grocery carts or saddle bags, GPS and dog carriers are also available. They have six delivery and pick up locations throughout Decatur, Oakhurst Agnes Scott College, and the Emory area. The website is www.dadszipmotorscooter.com.
As far as rates go, it looks like they have 3 plans, a monthly plan that allows you 8 rides a month for $10 an hour after a $50 membership fee, a “recreational plan” that allows you 8 rides a month for a year at $8 an hour after a $250 membership fee, and a “business plan” that allows 20 rides a month for a year at $6 an hour after a $600 membership fee. Oh, and there’s a $35 one time membership fee.
Here’s the specific list of locations where they will drop off the scooters when rented. I’m not quite sure which Church St. location listed will be their headquarters.

I thought Twist ‘n’ Scoot was opening up a scooter store on Ponce across from The Grange, but this sounds like a completely different business. If I remember correctly Twisn ‘n’ Scoot was to be open in August. Now it’s now mid September and I see no signs it is coming to any of the retail locations over on Ponce.
Tpreed – they are opening next to Whit’s End and Fleet Feet, across from The Grange. Think it used to be the Intaglia space. Some scooter’s are in the space already, imagine they will be opening soon.
Due to circumstance beyond their control, they are hoping to open next weekend. It took their permitting longer than they anticipated. Yes, they are right next to me at Whit’s End.
