Am I being mean?

[Anonymous]

I ride a scooter everyday to work, this particular co worker need for a ride one day , not too far really, the problem is that her weight probably more than 200 lb, and she would tend to ask for a ride everyday, i honestly worry about my scooter since it's only has 1 shock, i know I can't ask for her help if it's broken because i use it everyday, there re so many factors if it was, but if she's on it everyday too, i think she would be one of the factors, I don't want it to be happen, so i asked my other co worker who are lighter to take a ride with me so I don't have to feel bad about her, but somehow i feel i am mean...

If you look at your owner's manual, or contact the manufacturer, it will tell you the maximum weight the scooter can safely carry. Just let her know you choose to reduce wear and tear on the scooter by not going close to the maximum weight allowed. You probably wouldn't want her to wear your clothes, either, for the same reason. Money is tight, and though you'd like to help everyone, you have to do your best to make your money go as far as possible.

You can find it online on the manufacturer's website.

Yes found it! Thanks!

You're welcome. You can also use the safety factor... being uncomfortable handling the scooter with significant weight on it. Siting your own lack of experience or strength could be legitimate reasons.
