- jdavis703 5y agoA kick scooter weighs about 5 pounds and folds up. An electric kick scooter is maybe 30 pounds, and again folds up. A cargo bike is 60 or 80 pounds, and generally don’t collapse (yes, I know some models do). So it’s easier to carry a scooter up stairs than it is a cargo bike.
- fulafel 5y agoI was thinking of a classic gas powered motor scooter, you frequently see those parked in streets in these cities.
