Hello everyone. It’s time for the travel report.

  • Scooter 🛴 Trips this week: +9
    • Total trips: 154
    • Imaginary total income: $336
  • Bicycle 🚲 Trips this week: +3
    • Total trips: 275
    • Imaginary total income: $762

My observations regarding the electric scooter:

  • 💹 The best budget scooter in 2025: Xiaomi Elite 5. Here you get a range of 40 kilometers, 400…700 watts of power, a load capacity of up to 120 kg, and front spring suspension. I’ve watched a ton of electric scooter ads, but I can’t find anything decent for under $350… except for the Xiaomi Elite 5.
  • 🚵 A mechanical bicycle without a motor can easily travel faster than an electric scooter when going downhill because larger wheels roll better.
  • 🛣️ Tire pressure should be checked approximately once every 10 days if you ride every day.
  • 📐 Scooters are better suited for shorter people, while bicycles are better suited for taller people.
    • Short height: difficult to get on a bike.
    • Tall height: easy to fall off a scooter 🤔💭
