Why scooters? Why not also aim for electric bikes, for instance?

  I've got a bunch of reasons. No single one is the end all 'super conclusive', but in aggregate it makes a good case for scooters. Tldr the capacity, speed, range, and ease of adding gas (vs charging at a station) of a scooter is an order of magnitude better than an ebike. Easier to park, too. You don't have to lock them up like you do a bike. Have you ever ridden a scooter? It's much closer to a motorcycle than a bike.

    Do they make good E-scooters yet?

      'good' really means 'good enough', and that's situation and context dependent. I demand a lot from my 170cc scooter, so it couldn't be replaced with an electric one, but some of my trips could be done on an electric scooter. I have a friend who really likes her electric scooter, but she uses it less and for shorter trips than I use mine for.

    No, because I've never had a license.
