In everyday life a scooter is a way to get to school, the park or the shops; children talk about riding, pushing, kicking and braking. Safety lessons: wear a helmet, ride on the path, stop and look at crossings. In maths it is a thing counted or bought, with wheels on scooters (2 each) and the distance or speed of a ride. Phrases: ride a scooter, kick scooter, e-scooter, scooter helmet.

### Note

Countable: a scooter, two scooters. Verbs: ride a scooter, not drive (but «drive» is fine for a big motor scooter). Wheels per scooter is a hidden rate (2). Trap: do not count it like a bike with pedals, a tricycle with 3 wheels or a car with 4 wheels. Some toy scooters for small children have 3 wheels; read the problem. E-scooters often have age rules and are not allowed on footpaths in some places.
