I’m a Fan of e-Scooters

Written by eklastic

I used to drive a scooter, without a motor, before I got an e-bike. I enjoyed the ease with which I got around town, take it on a bus or on a tram and scoot to the next destination.

I wanted to try an e-scooter ever since they started standing around for hire.

This holiday was my chance.

We hired e-scooters to whizz around the lake where we were staying. About 7km seemed a nice little tour.

The two Lake’s Angels following me and coming towards me for the photo op.

It was really fun. We enjoyed ourselves.

Until at the furthest point from hire station my scooter stopped working.

And I pushed, and scooted, and walked and occasionally wheeled a few metres behind the two others for the last 3 km.

Pffff … I was ready to call it quits but the hire people were very nice and very apologetic and we got another hour for free on fault-free scooters. So I kept being a fan.

I’m a fan of … #169

      2. That’s why I prefer the ones with a slightly stronger motor – in Germany, that means they get a registration no. and can get ticketed. The other ones can just drive off and a policeman on foot will not catch them.

      4. Nice of you to think so but … I think these times are past. We are over regulating everything in my opinion and then everything takes time. And more time.
