3000 km on an Electric Scooter 🚴‍♀️

I've reached a total of 3,000 kilometers on my electric scooter 🎉

• Weekly Trips: +4
  • Total Trips: 300
  • Lifetime Earnings: $620
  • Total Kilometers: 3001.3 km

I've been considering buying a road electric scooter. I've shortlisted two options: light and heavy.

• 1️⃣ Lightweight Electric Scooter (approx. 30 kg)
  • Pros: Almost like riding a bike, easy to handle. Get on and go.
  • Cons: It can be easily stolen by anyone - drunk or mischievous teenager - who puts their mind to it, as it's light enough to lift.
• 2️⃣ Heavyweight Electric Scooter (approx. 60 kg)
  • Pros: Hard to steal. The motor is locked with a key, and anyone trying to carry it away would be exhausted.
  • Cons: Can easily lose balance at stoplights, potentially causing injury or damage from the fall. When a heavy object falls, it can crush your foot, and parts may break off upon impact.

If anyone has experience with or thoughts on scooter options, leave a comment 🤔💭 I'd go for the light one but fear it would be stolen on the first day 🔓😭🤣
