Ditching my dying car for a 125cc scooter? Some thoughts.
  • I only ride bikes and sometimes skateboards, but micromobility can be a year round solution in a lot of places as long as you dress for the weather and the weather isn't too extreme (though even in extreme weather, sometimes people still do it).

    I have no regrets except for trusting a shitty budget bike and breaking my arm last year (ENGWE EP2 Pro had a faulty front fender with no safety features, good times :(). Just allow for adequate time, wear protective gear, and ride with a visible camera. Those are my main suggestions.

    Having good infrastructure makes this a lot more doable, but it's still possible with shitty-to-no infrastructure at least sometimes.

    Good luck!

  • [SOLVED] Seeking e-scooter recommendations: slow, short range, 10-inch/25cm wheels
  • Might want to specify which market you're in as options can vary. I'm more of a bike guy, but you'd probable be OK with Ninebot, Niu, or Segway as long as the specs fit what you need.

  • If that day comes and you've got the money, Bromptons are kind of king there. Otherwise there's knockoffs like Cranston, Takachia, Mint, etc. Those are all trifold bikes, bifolds like the Zizzos, Dahons, etc, ride better but don't fold as small.

    Dahon launches first super-lightweight e-bike that is actually affordable
  • Any casters you'd recommend? I've been intrigued by this idea after seeing someone with a Mariner that had one.

  • Dahon unveils bold new electric and folding bike lineup for 2025
  • Dahon makes good stuff. If you are looking for an affordable folding bike, Zizzo is also a good choice. Tern also makes some more affordably priced folders like the BYB.

    Personally, I have a Priority Folder which is more expensive but also has a belt drive and 8 speed IGH: Love it!

    We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent
  • "AI" (read: LLM) isn't even in the same class as stupid people. It doesn't think at all, to suggest otherwise is a farce. It's incapable of actual thought, think of it more as autocorrect applied differently.
