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

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.
