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

        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”.
