3000 km on a scooter🛴

I’ve reached three thousand total kilometers on my electric scooter 🎉

  • Trips this week: +4
    • Total trips: 300
    • Imaginary income for all time: $620
    • Total kilometers: 3001.3 km

I’ve been thinking about buying a road electric scooter. I’ve identified two types of options: lightweight and heavyweight.

  • 1️⃣ Lightweight electric scooter, weight around 30 kg
    • Pros: Almost like a bicycle, easy to handle. Just hop on and go.
      • It’s not that scary to fall because it’s easy to pick up.
    • Cons: Anyone—be it a drunk person or a mischievous teenager—could steal it; they just have to put in enough effort to haul the scooter away.
  • 2️⃣ Large electric scooter, weight around 60 kg
    • Pros: It’s not that easy to steal. The motor is locked with a key; a drunk person would struggle to drag it.
    • Cons: You can easily lose your balance somewhere at a traffic light and fall.
      • When something that heavy falls, it can crush your foot, and parts might break off from the impact.
      • One could take driving lessons for this kind of vehicle at a driving school, but I have to wait until April.

If anyone has experience or ideas regarding scooter options, let me know in the comments 🤔💭 I’d buy the light one, but I’m afraid it’ll be stolen on the very first day 🔓😭🤣
