    It really is incredible how much less power you need for lower weight. Ebikes and electric scooters should be the transportation.

          What? You didn’t add 73,250 different disclaimers and qualifiers to your internet comment to make sure that your opinion includes all possible sets it applies to and none of the ones it doesn’t? How problematic of you.

          edit: to the person who had a problem with this, you are part of the problem.

        Is your commute>60 miles? If so, then you’re only using the scooter to get to the train station. If not, there’s VN scooters for <2K that can do that in an hour, and chinese scooters that are even faster.

          My commute includes interstate travel, unless I want to make my commute even longer. Escooters and Ebikes are non-starters. Not even taking into account the assortment of tools I have to carry with me for service calls.

          All I’m getting at is the comment that I originally replied to “Ebikes and electric scooters should be the transportation” simply isn’t compatible with a whole lot of people’s situations, not just mine.

            After a week in Vietnam, you wont be able to look at anyone who says they need a pickup truck to carry tools without thinking “skill issue”.
