Savvy trips on two wheels • 2026-10-14 • Evaluating the Profitability and True Value of My Personal Scooter Rides

Scooter 🛴

• Total trips: 130, this week: +2
• Total kilometers: 1,265 km, this week: +14 km
• Imaginary income total: \(184, this week: +\)2

Lately, I haven’t been riding my scooter much. I’m trying to walk more often to improve my health 💹

Calculations 🧮

• The original purchase price of the scooter was $400
• Imaginary income to date: $184

It turns out the scooter is moving toward profitability, but very slowly. I keep a table to track its benefits:

• I value one short errand trip at $1
• I value a long optional trip at $1
• I value a long errand trip at $4

Meanwhile, the price of tram tickets in my city has increased once again 🚋

• Was: $2.6
• Now: $2.7

Therefore, I think a long errand trip can now be valued at $5, as the cost of such a trip by tram is 2.7 * 2 = 5.4 🤔💭
