I am going to make my purchase this Wednesday. And a late addition to the fold is an electric scooter.
Now why I am considering an electric scooter, is I live in Vancouver’s downtown east side. It’s basically where hopes and dreams go to die. so It’s not the nicest neighborhood. and I am worried about theft. a scooter would be alot more easily secured. I could basically take it inside with me wherever I go. And it’s alot easier to take it on transit. Plus the ones I’m looking at have a supposed range or 60+ Km’s but even if I only got half that It would be good.
The only downside is no swappable battery which you get with most e-bikes.
So which would you choose? e-bike or scooter?
Ebike all day for me: If the power runs out, it’s still a bicycle!
If you need something that folds, there are a variety of options but I’d go with the Tern Vektron.
I’m also very biased towards bicycles in general and would even pick a regular unpowered folding bicycle over a scooter just because they can carry more while being faster and more capable.
