It's a tough time out there for the grizzled, ruthless Lime scooter outlaws who once controlled the sidewalks of Spokane. Ever since the Lime pilot ended and the bright green scooters left Spokane, the Lime scooter gangs have had to fend for themselves, purchasing their own electric scooters on the black market, the dark web or walmart.com. As they maintain a watch of constant vigilance, ever hopeful that someday the Lime scooters will return, here's what to get them for Christmas.
BONTRAGER SOLSTICE HELMET
