Hey guys, thinking of getting an electric scooter to commute from my home to workplace.. any opinion on this?

as long as you don't plan to ride on the road, barge into pedestrians, or demand right of way, you should be good

the number of accidents involving e-scooters are increasing, and it is a matter of time before there is a clamp down on the 'pimped' up E-Scooters

PS, today morning two funny incidents.

At a traffic light a lady came dashing in a normal kick scooter and forgot how to brake. Straight into the bit of greenery at the end, collected herself, gave a silly blush and off she went

And a little later, a guy on a Uni-Wheel, nearly came to cropper when a passenger alighting from a bus dashed across his path !!

any recommendations on which scooter is good?

Anyone?

i'm now considering between the lightweight 10.7kg model or the established brand Myway.

Why bother to do something like that. He's going to give us his recommendations for the shop he works for and tell us why that bike is the better choice. tic...toc...tic....toc.... I'm just waitin'!

Goodness me stop putting other lives in danger by riding all these new crap. TAKE THE DAMN PUBLIC TRANSPORT.

If you’re able to commute from your home to workplace, i suppose the distance isn’t that far. Personally, I would discourage the usage of e-scooter, especially since there’s been countless number of accidents involving e-scooter riders, and what’s worse is that some of them are fatal accidents. Speaking of which, just this morning, there’s one accident involving a double decker bus and an e-scooter. Here you go!

Mixed reactions from online users over the ban of e-scooters from footpaths in Singapore

[sundaymorningstaple]

The only placed there are mixed reactions is from the PMD riders. Everybody else is glad to see the last of them on the "foot"paths.
