During a recent trip on the back roads between Quarryville and Strasburg, PA, I saw an Amish man going exceptionally fast on a kick scooter. I realized that he had an electric powered scooter which had him traveling about 50 MPH.

Research pointed toward the motors for these being locally built in Intercourse. The manufacturer has unfortunately discontinued production. However, several stories from Amish about riding them was shared with me by men and women alike and the fact that no safety gear at all is worn while riding at the exceptional speeds.

The field corn was starting to turn in the early fall months and the area was desolate inspiring the alien cow abduction warning sign and hidden alien in the corn field. The alien just adds another level of whimsy to this fun image.
