Electric Scooters

[Vodka]

one word: MOBILITY. Eto naman yung selling point ng scooters eh. Almost the same reason why bikes are on the road, as well as e-bikes.

1) I suggest you read muna about scooters. Some scooters that can go long distance only weight 20kg, and can be easily folded and carried. The big scoots yes pwede iwan sa parking, which isnt any different from the bikes na iniiwan sa parking, which negates the "you can't easily carry them around so you have to leave them in the parking area."

2) I do admit na small wheels and scooters, which is its main disadvantage kasi ramdam mo yung lubak and all the road imperfections. But many good scooters have really good suspension, so yung maliit na gulong nalang ang problema. As for the "high center of gravity", don't bikes also have high centers of gravity? Bikes are also unstable and it would cause more injury as your hips ride higher on a bike than on a scooter, which means you fall from a higher height.

3) Cant do off-road: true, but why would you even think of doing off road on a scooter?? ::

Can't hop on curbs: Again, why would you want to hop on curbs? Motorcycles cant hop on curbs easily, and bikes also cant hop on curbs, unless gagawin mo to sa trail or sa area na walang traffic. Only a man not in his right mind would think of doing this.
Cant roll over many obstacles: Potholes? Humps? Kahit naman ata kotse di mo sasadyain i-roll over sa obstacles unless di talaga maiiwasan di po ba? )

Cant go through small puddles of water: For some small scooters, hazard ang small puddles if malalim. ground clearance is around 20mm lang, so deep puddles will cause damage sa electrical system. But, a solution would be to waterproof the scoot using sealant, and you're good to go!

And para sa "bumili ka nalang ng gas scoot", what's the point kung kokontrahin mo lang din yung pagbili mo dahil lang sa points raised sa number 3? ::

I do admit maraming limitations ang scooter, especially in the rain. But if it gets me from point A to B then it does it's job. The closes comparison to this would be a bike on the road. Same safety principles apply, same slim profile, same "high center of gravity". Only difference is one is human-powered while the other is mechanical powered. Think about it, why are we so against scooters pero pag bikes okay lang? ::

coz bikes are far superior. eh kasi you're having an emotional response to EKS and i'm looking at it logically. we all know logic wins everytime

tapos you have so many misconceptions about bikes. manood ka kasi ng red bull downhill, then you'll see what bikes are capable of. maganda ang center-of-gravity ng bikes, you can go through almost any obstacle. kaya nga inimbento yung 29er wheel. big wheels can roll over anything. hindi ka kasi biker...

basta my point is that if your big EKS is so heavy that you can't even lift it to stash in your trunk then WTH is the point? just get a powerful electric bicycle like the one i have. it's just far superior. all caps pa yung MOBILITY mo. my bike gives you more MOBILITY, more comfort, more stability, more safety, rolls over most obstacles including rivers and floods. tapos 100% legal pa, coz it's just a bicycle (EKS is in a gray area)
