Flyer Addicts Anonymous Complete Scooter List

Flyer Addicts is compiling the definitive list of Flying Scooters.

Through exhaustive research, we've already uncovered over 80 installation, and have been able to document the journey of several scooters back to their origins at long forgotten parks around the country and world.

Still, we need your help. Do you have information or correction to our lists? Can you donate vintage pictures from your family or relatives? Send us a message at foundflyers@flyeraddicts.com
