Les Garland, Still Ridin’ Phat

• Phat Scooters, described as “a leader in recreational and commercial electric scooters,” has added entertainment and media visionary Les Garland, co-creator of MTV and VH1, founder of The Box Music Network and AfterPlay Entertainment, to its Advisory Board. “Working with Les is an incredible opportunity for Phat Scooters,” said Peter Johnson, Founder & CEO of Phat Scooters. “His knowledge and success in all facets of business is invaluable and will help us develop long term strategic plans for the company, as well as reach new markets by combining our networks.”

“Now, more than ever, we’ve become highly conscious of the affect our actions have on the environment and earth,” Garland said. “The electric Phat Scooter is not just fun to ride, it’s an innovative game-changer in how we move around leaving a zero to minimal carbon footprint. I see Phat Scooters as evolutionary instead of revolutionary in golf and in all sorts of family entertainment. It’s an honor to be working with a group of people who understand the true meaning of creativity, togetherness, and humanity.”

• Alongside his commitment to Phat Scooters, Garland is currently connected with actor Jeremy Renner, strategizing the delivery of his music under the Record Street umbrella. Garland has also programmed an awesome 243-song companion “Ridin’ Phat Hits” playlist on Spotify for your scooting pleasure. Garland said, “I’ve been creating playlists since I was a teenager, and throughput my career, so when my friends at Phat Scooters asked me to do a few playlists I was happy to say YES.”
