Oh I love electric scooters in cities! I always get excited when I visit a city that has those Lime or other brand rentable ones.
I own my own private electric scooter and it’s great. Makes for a quite pleasant commute, especially since I have a route that goes on protected bike lanes all the way from my apartment to my work!
Thanks. that makes sense.
So like motorcycles?
Among other things include bikes, scooters, monowheels, etc.

Seems like all posts about e-bikes. Let’s see some pedal power!
I have pedal foldable bike(because I don’t want cramming unfoldable bike in elevator pornography) and regular scooter. I want escooter, but will buy it only after 3d printer.
Cars, but like, Hot Wheels size.
It’s a relatively new term to refer to extremely small and lightweight vehicles generally used for short-distance rides. Things like bicycles, rollers, very small electric vehicles like e-rollers, e-bikes, segways etc.
Wasn’t there a toy in the 80s called Micromobiles?
