Boimler tries to interview the captain on a hydroscoot.
A hydroscoot was a type of watercraft that was ridden like a motorscooter. Starfleet hydroscoots also had insets on their handlebars, upon which a PADD could be placed. One place where hydroscooting was common was Kabba Lake.
According to Ensign Beckett Mariner's holo-movie, Crisis Point: The Rise of Vindicta (which was written overtop and used the true-to-life programming and details of Ensign Brad Boimler's Boimler Seven holoprogram), Captain Carol Freeman, who was hydroscooting with her senior staff, was exceptionally skilled at riding, having once set a speed record for doing so during her time at Starfleet Academy. It was still standing as of 2381. (LD: "Crisis Point", "First First Contact")
Ensign Brad Boimler, who wanted to interview the captain, decided that he would interview a holographic version of Freeman, and rode up on a hydroscoot, despite the fact that he wasn't invited, as only the senior officers were hydroscooting with her. (LD: "Crisis Point")
