But it begs the question: why have something so huge if its range is terrible? Electric scooters are more compact, transportable, comfortable, you're more visible because you're standing, etc.
- dymk 3y agoAn e-scooter doesn't have an obvious way to pick it up and carry it with you. This is basically an e-scooter, but very narrow and shaped like a briefcase with a handle, which seems like an improvement for transporting it. It would be nice if it was a standing ride, that would probably be more comfortable.
- nwiswell 3y ago> An e-scooter doesn't have an obvious way to pick it up and carry it with you. Yeah but this is 41 lbs, so you aren't going very far with it.
- dymk 3y agoTrue, but I imagine it's mostly carried on/off busses or in/out of a building entrance, and not much farther.
- dharmab 3y agoI have a folding e-scooter that I can and do carry into my home, on a train, into a friend's apartment. It has a higher top speed and range than this.
- dymk 3y agoWhat model? I'm looking for something that isn't awkward to carry around or on a bus.
- dharmab 3y agoLiterally some cheapo Amazon one that says "SWAG" on it. I don't think it's for sale anymore.
- chihuahua 3y ago"Hiboy" sells multiple folding models on Amazon. I have one (can't remember the exact model) and the folding feature makes it pretty convenient to carry. Range 20+ miles, top speed 18mph. Air-filled tires are a nightmare when you get a flat, but you can replace them with non-air tires.
- lostlogin 3y agoIf that was all battery the range would be huge. It would also be ludicrously heavy.
- langsoul-com 3y agoE-scooters are actually banned in a lot of places because of the menace called cheap rental escooters. So this is an alternative to that. Also the size and weight is more compact than escooters.
- seb1204 3y agoIf there is a regulation of e-scooters in a location it will also be applied to this one given some time. It's just a different form factor imho.
