He'll eventually realize that running is the easiest and purest form of exercise. It may take years though :)
About scooters and their sturdiness. The one my son has right now has cost us 260 €. It better be strong and sturdy, unbreakable :)
Seriously, It's a tricks scooter, meant for jumping and landing. It should endure at least four years.
Have a great day.
That should be a serious scooter for that money. My son just used to ride his to school. They are in the shed and I should do something with them. I did ponder getting an adult one for myself for going to work as it's a fair walk to the station. I see a few people with them and they fold up for taking on the train.
For the distance I go an electric seems overkill. I don't mind some exercise. The rules on electrics here are restrictive anyway. Technically you cannot use them in a public place, but people do anyway.
Cool. Commuting with the help of your muscles is better anyway. I feel the same.
As for the rules, here are trying to create a new niche for electric bicycles and scooters so they will be equal to ordinary bicycles. With the top speed blocked at 25 km/h by design, of course.
Given that we can do with less cars on the roads anything to encourage efficient personal transport has to be a good thing.
