Hey guys, I need your suggestion, kindly help me. I'm going to buy a lightweight electric scooter for younger brother from https://fluidfreeride.com/products/mosq ... ic-scooter

what do you think is it a good idea for daily commuting 4 to 5 KM ...?

Theres been a bit of a spate of deaths recently and they do have a tendency to pitch forward if the small wheel is suddenly jarred :? I suppose that small wheel hasnt really the ability to ride over any obstacle for example a pot hole or even a piece of rubbish.

Plus the 1/2 price always makes me ask :? Arent they selling.

I know the feeling, an electric contraption has its uses, but the tech is still quite new and for the money I reckon there will be a far amount of choice if you look. Maybe the 12" wheel size or along those lines.

Agreed. Saw loads of these being ‘scarily’ driven on the pavement and on the roads of Paris. Saw people regularly coming off in the wet especially and close shaves but the drivers seem much more considerate over there. If the day ever comes when they have a bigger legal std tyre size, proper disc brakes better stability and handling AND they can use traffic segregated tracks with bikes, then they will be a brilliant fun way to get around town. Less cars on the road etc I used them in Tenerife years ago and loved it.

With the little wheel, no way.
i push and my son moves a wheelchair around with wider and narrower wheels.
they'll be over the front before long.
there are the larger wheeled types more suitable to commuting.
