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?
Something to consider is that the scooters are potentially less safe than the bikes. The tires are so small they provide almost no gyroscopic balancing, and they can go fast enough that if you go down, you’re probably stopping by the urgent care or emergency room on the way home.
