In summer, we get thunderstorms every single day during the height of delivery time. Plus, scooters in Florida require a motorcycle training course and license (true mopeds incapable of more than 30 mph do not). That and I couldn't carry 10-15 pizzas on the back of a scooter for commercial orders. Also, my company does not allow the use of scooters and mopeds for delivery due to their insurance ( I checked years ago). Hell, they won't even let me build a wood gas powered pickup truck or even give me the excess fryer grease from the wing fryer for delivery work. If they would then I would be driving petroleum free!
