The Challenge
Are you a scooter aficionado or interested in becoming one? Here’s your chance to ride a scooter and change the world!
THE MISSION: Build a socially responsible community of new and experienced scooter riders across Canada to spread our passion for riding and change the world at the same time!
This site was started by Ed Kang, who was just recently introduced to the joy of scooter riding for the first time. it was so much fun, he decided to combine his new found passion with his other passions for social responsibility and humanitarian projects around the world. Ed convinced some businesses and industry sponsors to participate in demonstrating how scooters can rescue lives.
THE CHALLENGE:Our sponsors have agreed to provide discounts on scooters and gear and for every sale, a portion of proceeds will go towards providing scooters and bikes to humanitarian aid teams in developing countries.
In other words, the more we enjoy riding here, the more lives get rescued over there.
How can this happen and why is this important? In developing countries like India, Nicaragua and other regions of Africa, there are no nicely paved roads like we have here. Reaching villages and poverty areas like garbage dumps is very difficult with four wheeled vehicles. Plus gas and cost of maintenance becomes a factor.
One scooter, moped, dirt bike or even bicycle allows a trained individual to reach and serve to the needs of people and effectively reach substantially more communities than by foot. For example, a nurse can respond to up to five times more medical cases in a day which means less people have to be sick and perish because of lack of infrastructure.
This site is designed to keep track of progress and open up discussion for the scooter community. Ed Kang and others will be blogging about their experience and we will also be sending scooter riders to the countries we are trying to help! In fact the photo to the left of the child was taken by our very own Melissa Casey who is an avid scooter rider and works for one of our sponsors All Season Motorsports in Calgary. You will get regular updates like this and get a chance to be part of the excitement.
This is YOUR OPPORTUNITY to transform your interest and passion for scooters into something that changes the world! We encourage you to explore and bookmark this site and help make our vision a reality!
