You don't have to figure out what to do with it when you get to your destination or go on public transportation.

  e-Scooters are small enough and, at least in Munich, allowed in public transport. As for destination: lock it on a tree or take it into your office.

    They're still 20-30lbs to drag around (up stairs, etc.) and anything you're dragging around becomes cumbersome on crowded trains/buses. In many places locking something expensive to a tree just means someone will steal it assuming it's even legal to lock it to that structure. People also go to more than just work and I suspect, for example, a stand up comedy club would frown upon you dragging your scooter in with you.

    Do bikes and scooters not get stolen in europe? Literally everyone I know in the US who bikes in a city has gotten 1 or multiple bikes stolen. My oldest brother got 2 bikes stolen within 10 minutes of walking into a store and they were locked to a bike rack. My other brother got his bike stolen within a week of getting it and it was in a locked apartment garage! The guy I know from work in seattle who bikes everywhere has gotten 3 bikes stolen. Admittedly, that's the only 3 people I know who bike but it's not very encouraging when you here about all of these thefts.

      > Do bikes and scooters not get stolen in europe? Literally everyone I know in the US who bikes in a city has gotten 1 or multiple bikes stolen. Depends on the place. In Munich, it's rare - Berlin however, commonplace. My personal advice, get a decent lock and a GPS tracer embedded in the frame if it's an expensive bike.
