Have you always wanted to scooter to work? Now is your chance!
About 600 electric scooters (e-scooters) have been launched in Auckland by California-based company Lime. The scooters can travel at speeds of up to 27kmh and have a maximum range of 48km. But not everyone is impressed, with some calling labeling the scooters as a "menace on footpaths". To read more about them, click here.
What are your thoughts on them? Will you give them a go? Will it be cheaper for you to scooter to work rather than drive and pay for parking? Or do you think they're a hazard for pedestrians? Share you thoughts with us in the replies below!

State Highway 16 from Kaukapakapa and Wellsford has been closed because of the police incident, and motorists were told to avoid the area.The northbound Greenlane off-ramp on the Southern Motorway is closed following the police incident.

Crashes in Auckland are causing traffic delays for motorists ahead of Labour Weekend.
Auckland Transport advised motorists to allow extra time for their journeys this morning. A crash at 7.40am along the northwestern motorway was blocking the middle lane eastbound after Newton Rd, the New Zealand Transport Agency said. Footage from traffic cameras showed the speed on the motorway had been reduced to 50kmh.
Tamaki Makaurau Road Policing Manager Inspector Scott Webb says traffic congestion is going to reach peak levels on Friday and Saturday as motorists leave Auckland for the long weekend.
Inspector Webb says three people were killed and eight people were seriously injured on our roads across Tamaki Makaurau during Labour Day Weekend in 2017.

With so many choices out there it can be overwhelming, come to Target Furniture Glenfield and we can answer any questions you may have and steer you towards the outdoor set perfect for your needs and your outdoor space.
Our favourite style at the moment is the Valencia range; lightweight with a classic silhouette and thoughtful design – you can‘t go wrong! Best of all: many pieces have been designed to tuck away neatly when not in use, perfect for apartment dwellers or those with tighter surrounds.
Our top pick this week is our popular daybed with canopy perfect for daytime entertaining or anyone who loves the sunshine. Made from light weight aluminium and natural wicker the day bed matches perfectly with the rest of the huge Valencia range that includes a corner suite, several outdoor dining combinations, coffee tables and chairs, and a three piece balcony set.
Now is the time to spruce up decks, patios, pools and sunny outdoor corners with your choices from the space saving Valencia range. You can choose your own setting to eat, drink, sleep and chat with friends.

Here are some tips to make sure you and your loved ones are well prepared and stay safe:
1. Check the marine weather forecast before you go out, it could save your life! 58% of boaties already check it. We want the other 42% to make it a habit. MetService New Zealand's Marine App makes it easy.
2. Tests your life jackets. Pull hard on the straps and see if any of them stretch or rip. Check all over for any existing tears in the straps and any cuts or punctures in the life jacket. If yes, do not use the life jacket, dispose of it, and replace it. Always check if it floats before putting them on. Keep in mind kapok life jackets should not be used as they can absorb water and sink, their cotton straps also easily rip! Burn them or bin them, but whatever you do - don't use or resell them.
3. For this year's Safer Boating Week, boaties are being reminded to “Prep, Check, Know” - prepare your boat, check your gear and know the rules before going on the water.
Let's put in the time and effort to make sure there are NO water related accidents or deaths this Labour Day long-weekend! Don't forget to look out for each other and report any concerns you have to local authorities.
