But i beg to disagree na "kalokohan lang yan" for the bigger scoots. Those tiny wheels you are talking about are either tubeless or honeycombed to absorb road imperfections, coupled with good suspension systems for the bigger scoots. The bigger scoots are indeed heavy, but this is due to the heavier and sturdier frames and more-powerful motors. TOTL scooters have a raneg of more than 80km in one charging, and reach 60km/hr easily.

The only reason why scooters feel vulnerable is because they're tiny, and many of the new users do not have any experience biking or motorcycling along the mains roads side by side with cars. It's the mobility of the scooters that appeal to the commuters who want an alternative method of commuting.



good for you. yan naman talaga ng purpose ng lightweight EKS. pang "last km", not for long-distance commutes

if you're going to travel long distances then why bother w/ those big heavy expen$ive EKS'es? they s*ck at pretty much everything when you compare them to any vehicle i'm gonna tell you why:

1) they're heavy at around 50KG! you can't easily carry them around so you have to leave them in the parking area. so what's the point? bumile ka nalang ng underbone or gas scoot

2) you're standing. high center of gravity. tapos short wheelbase. small wheels. kaya unstable. accident prone

3) can't do off-road. can't hop onto the curb. can't roll over many obstacles. can't even go through small puddles of water


just enjoy your mijia. ok yan. i want one. but the bigger EKS, kalokohan lang
