You can't fit it in a bag so I don't really see the point beyond the novelty. Folding bikes are faster and you can take them on a train/bus.

- relet 11y agoYou can take them on the bus and get a regular seat.
- monort 11y agoFolding bikes weight more, take more space and they are less maneuverable. Kick scooters are better if your typical distance is less than 10km, especially if your city has sidewalks, but not bike lanes.
- Paul_S 11y agoHow long does a 10km commute take on a scooter?
- monort 11y ago50-60 minutes for me.
- Paul_S 11y agoEver considered something halfway, like an electric skateboard to save time? Don't you get sweaty after 10k?
- monort 11y agoI use it as exercise so I don't really want electric as my main transportation mode. I'd like to try one of that boards, but the price is too high. When it's hot yes, I'm getting sweaty. You can ride slower, but it's less fun for me.

- gkop 11y agoThat makes sense, but be aware of the laws in your jurisdiction. For example, SF prohibits (but tends not to enforce) scooting on the sidewalk on main streets (http://sfappeal.com/2010/08/ask-the-appeal-is-it-illegal-to-skateboard-on-the-sidewalk-in-sf/ http://sfappeal.com/2010/08/ask-the-appeal-is-it-illegal-to-...).
