It didn't take long before we decided that keep renting scooters wasn't a viable option and that we should treat ourselves to our very own scooters.

Being reasonably capable of figuring this out myself I told them not to bother and I'd do it myself. I was aware of the (only) requirement of the WiFi modules for the AC's: they require a 2.4Ghz WiFi connection. Read more »
