RE: scooter climbs [Running Community Report, October 26th 2020]

That sounds like fun. My son had some scooters, but kept breaking the wheel bearings. He has outgrown them, but shows no interest in running with me. He is more into gym workouts on the weights.

!BEER

Sort:  

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.

Fancy an electric scooter?

Yes, my son's scooter is a pro version.

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.
