Asst. 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.
