We were there a couple weeks ago and saw this being used. It is an ebike which is an entirely different scourge on society. Those things are fast and meant for the road not a busy theme park. There is even a spot for a license plate on it. How they were allowed to roll around the park all day in that I don't know.

My husband has two therapy dogs, good love our one he is just not that bright but our girl is smart as a whip and does what he needs. They however would never come to the parks. It is just too hot for them and their little feet.

We will be bringing them but they will stay in the hotel when we are at the parks.

I did a Google search on "ebike" and nothing looking remotely like this was returned. Searched "2 person ECV" and got a few hits of similarly looking vehicles. All Disney websites are blocked at my place of work, so I can't look up the Disney stated policy on ECVs, but if I remember correctly the policy states no passengers other than the driver on an ECV. These would probably also exceed any stated size limits at Disney, including not fitting in the assigned space on buses.

I don't know if I can post this link but it sure looks like it was a 2 person electric scooter and not an ECV.

Actually, that is not an ebike. It is a big, bad electric mobility scooter for two. They are close to being a two seater ebike in that many of them have a greater mileage range and can go about three times as fast as a normal one person mobility scooter. Even so, they are legally classified as an electric mobility scooter which means they are allowed everywhere. Basically the only place they can't go is somewhere where there is a restriction on the scooter length allowed. Not that my opinion matters, but, to me, most of them seem to be in sort of a gray area between what should be considered and what shouldn't be considered a necessary mobility scooter.
Both my husband and I have to use scooters for longer distances and the idea of one scooter for both of us sounds ideal. However, to manoeuvre one of them in a line, shop or restaurant would be a real problem and such a large and heavy scooter would be very difficult to transport. Plus,while many of them have a superior braking system, I thoroughly agree it is a bad idea, due to the scooter''s speed and weight, to use them in conditions crowded with pedestrians. .

Not to mention there is no way they would fit on Disney transportation, maybe the monorail, but definetly not buses or boats

Still laughing over this. #1 rule for getting away with something you aren't sure you're supposed to be doing, don't ask about it on the internet.

That looks like a miniature Honda Gold Wing!

I remember seeing an elderly lady bring her "service dog" to the parks once. It was a teeny little dog with a teeny little vest.... being carried around in it's own special doggie stroller?

I was a CP at the time, and even though I and all of the other Cast Members I was working with that day knew it was totally fake, we still couldn't do anything about it. Luckily, the dog was pretty quiet and chill, so other than the stroller maybe getting in the way sometimes, they didn't cause much trouble.

I don't see why anyone'd wanna rent a scooter when they didn't need one. I mean, you can get around the parks WAY faster by walking- your body is gonna maneuver those crowds much more easily than a big old machine. And when those things break down (and they do)? Yikes. Too much hassle.

I have to confess my Disney sin though, once time my friends and I found an rental wheelchair in the parking lot and rode it in and we just kinda kept it and while it didn't get us in front of any lines (we didn't use it for that... we just liked rolling around), we did get special seating for Fantasmic. I was the chosen "actress," since it happened to be my birthday and I felt super horrible about it and still do today. T_T I NEVER wanna do anything like that again. >.<'



Also, I agree with what you guys are saying... what's wrong with Disneybounding? I thought that was kinda stretched WAY further than it needed to be. It sounded more like the writer was hating on cosplayers in general and was using "kids getting confused" as an excuse.

I think Disneybounding and cosplay at the parks is awesome (though I've never done it myself) and I've never, ever seen a kid get confused. I imagine people would only get in trouble for it under two conditions- wearing something inappropriate that you'd get in trouble for whether you were dressing up or not, or trying to get people to treat you like a character and take pictures with you and stuff. But really, I think most people who do it just wanna have fun and express themselves.
