In the streets and alleys of the city, the traffic is surging. Cars are like serious office workers, hurriedly shuttling on the roads; electric vehicles are like naughty little squirrels, nimbly bouncing through the gaps. Just then, a fully enclosed gasoline three-wheeled mobility scooter makes a dazzling appearance with a “putt-putt-putt” sound. It is just like a mysterious little fortress that has run out of a fairy tale world, instantly attracting the attention of everyone.

The fully enclosed body is like putting on a sturdy and unique suit of armor for the vehicle. Whether it is scorching hot or bitterly cold, it can shield the owner from the wind and rain. In summer, the outside world is like a huge steamer. Pedestrians on the road are sun-baked and listless. However, the owner sits in this enclosed “little fortress”, blowing a small fan, humming a tune, and moving forward leisurely. It feels like strolling in one’s own air-conditioned room. When passing by cars that are baking in the sun, the owner might secretly feel proud in his heart: “Hey, you guys keep getting roasted. It’s like spring all year round here for me!”

In winter, the cold wind blows like a knife. Electric vehicle riders are wrapped up like zongzi and still shivering with cold. But the owner of the fully enclosed gasoline three-wheeled mobility scooter remains as steady as Mount Tai. When the vehicle starts, the engine makes a “cough-cough-cough” sound, as if cheering itself on: “Hmph, what’s a little cold? Watch how I ‘conquer’ this winter!” Then it runs merrily with a “putt-putt-putt” sound. Sitting in the warm carriage, the owner looks out of the window at the pedestrians stamping their feet in the cold and can’t help laughing out loud: “You guys keep going! I’m going on my way comfortably first!”

Its appearance design is also very interesting. Some fully enclosed three-wheeled mobility scooters have a square body. Coupled with bright and colorful paint jobs, they are like a giant moving toy box. If some cartoon stickers are pasted on the body, such as cute little bears or naughty monkeys, it will simply be the cutest thing on the street. When driving such a vehicle out, the rate of people turning their heads to look will definitely be extremely high. Passers-by will cast curious glances, as if saying: “Where on earth did this lovely thing come from?”

Once, a friend came to pick me up in his fully enclosed gasoline three-wheeled mobility scooter. As soon as I got in, I felt like I had entered a miniature secret base. When the vehicle was moving, although it couldn’t match the speed of a car, it had its own unique fun. When encountering a small puddle, a car might carefully go around it, but our “little fortress” marches forward bravely, splashing a spray of water. My friend excitedly shouted: “Look, this is our ‘water adventure’!” I laughed heartily in the car.

When we arrived at the destination, parking was even easier. While cars were still worrying about finding a suitable parking space in the parking lot, we just found a corner to park, locked the vehicle, and left. However, sometimes there are also some funny incidents. Once, my friend was in a hurry to do something. After parking the car, he left in a hurry. When he came back, he couldn’t find the car after searching for a long time and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Finally, he found that his car was blocked by several cars next to it, with only a small rear end showing, just like a naughty child playing hide-and-seek with him. My friend said with a mixture of amusement and annoyance: “You little rascal, you’ve learned to play hide-and-seek!”

The fully enclosed gasoline three-wheeled mobility scooter, although it doesn’t have the grandeur of a luxury car or the speed of a sports car, in its own unique way, it brings endless joy to people’s lives. It is a unique sight on the street and also a moving joyful little fortress for the owners. Next time, when you see such a vehicle “putt-putt-putt” passing by on the street, you might as well give it a smile, because it is adding a different kind of fun to the world in its own way.
