i've tried both bird scooters and jump bikes in san francisco and really enjoyed them both, to my surprise. the scooters are a little easier to maneuver in traffic, while the bikes are faster and have longer range.
my bike was stolen a couple years ago, shifting me to lyft/uber as a result, but lately i've become less enthusiastic about those services.
anyone have suggestions on electric scooter or electric bike models to buy? ideally something light (and possibly foldable) for shorter trips (within 3-5 miles) and last mile connections off public transportation.
- tlrobinson 8y agoYou asked for scooter or bike recommendations, but I love the Boosted Board electric skateboards for their portability and fun factor. However, they're almost certainly more dangerous, and a higher learning curve (though I hadn't skateboarded much before getting one). Just watch out for Muni tracks, gravel, wet roads (especially on metal), and potholes.
- clairity 8y agothose are neat but are not really for me. i can kinda sorta get away with being on a scooter (not really), but i'd look downright silly on a skateboard. =)
- ascar 8y agoCheck out cycleboard. It's a 3 wheeled scooter with balance based steering. I'm still waiting for mine, but I used a kickboard (3-wheeled non electric scooter) for commuting to school years ago and it's so much more stable than 2 wheeled scooters and much more fun to drive.
