Older people worldwide do not take scooters everywhere. This is not about disability, it's about selling to US boomers. Looks like I tightened some man buns.
Putting aside the fact that there are other reasons scooters are less common outside the US, the elderly are far from the only people who could benefit from technology like this - mobility issues affect a huge number of people. In addition, these systems are useful to workers in physically demanding jobs like construction and freight handling.
