    LOL. I scooted over to Walmart during my lunch to pick up a backpack full of groceries. No sweat at all :)

    I didn’t mention another benefit of an e-scooter over a bike/e-bike, they are basically zero maintenance. Keep the tires inflated, and you’re good.

    Of course, that’s only for “basic” e-scooters. Once you get into super scooters with dual disc brakes, suspension, and other extras, it’s like maintaining a motorcycle, and that’s just not convenient.

      Simple is why I like skateboards: I can build a good one for like $60-80 from scratch if I use a blemish deck and even cheaper if I use the parts I already have. The only things you need to maintain are bushings, bearings, and wheels (all of which are stupid simple to replace when they finally die, which will still be a long time even if you skate hard every single day).
