I am going to make my purchase this Wednesday. And a late addition to the fold is an electric scooter.
Now why I am considering an electric scooter, is I live in Vancouver’s downtown east side. It’s basically where hopes and dreams go to die. so It’s not the nicest neighborhood. and I am worried about theft. a scooter would be alot more easily secured. I could basically take it inside with me wherever I go. And it’s alot easier to take it on transit. Plus the ones I’m looking at have a supposed range or 60+ Km’s but even if I only got half that It would be good.
The only downside is no swappable battery which you get with most e-bikes.
So which would you choose? e-bike or scooter?
I’m always gonna recommend cycling, even if electrically assisted, but if you’re on budget you may want to go scooter as you can get decent quality one for way cheaper.
Now I don’t know much about the “e” part of ebikes, but the “bike” part is usually utter trash for anything below like 2k while you can get an amazing acoustic commuter for under 1k
