Donate your electric scooter through LifeNet's Wheelchair Project.
If you own an unused electric scooter, you can donate it to those who cannot afford to purchase their own. LifeNets, a non-profit organization, has a site which allows people with wheelchairs of any kind to exchange them with others. You can also donate through your local Muscular Dystrophy Association office.
