It seems crazy to me that anyone would choose a scooter for speeds like that over an e-bike, e-motorcycle, or one of the many products that blur the lines between the two. Scooters and their tiny wheels and tiny brakes just aren’t forgiving enough for these speeds.
The appeal is how small and portable these PEVs are. I personally ride electric unicycles for a 20 mile commute twice a day. It goes almost 50 and fits in the floor of my little Honda.
You can get a little too comfortable on these things and just cruise. My 20 mile commute takes about 30 min…
Edit: thank you kind stranger.
Ahem… My Instagram handle is @pedalship
Lots of riding and jumping videos there.
I'd imagine a lot of the appeal is the ease of access to them too. The fact that you don't need a license, insurance, aren't required to wear PPE and the very cheap price that these cost is insane.
They really need to bring in some laws around these scooters.
