it was great, but that was because I was poor and young and dumb, just circumstance, it's hard to become a real enthusiast
really you'd have to live in a highly specific place for it to actually make sense.
Most cities have so much bicycle infrastructure now that a bicycle or an e-bike becomes more practical. Not to mention the ability to lift that in and out of houses/apartments. A moped basically requires a garage.
And also in most places, the gutless motor makes things difficult. Like it's not not viable , but it's just not ideal. You'd need some kind of quaint small suburban enclave or a specific type of town to really have one work and even then.
Give me a car, a motorbike, a bicycle, or an e-bike.
And are they cool/quaint as something retarded? I ride them occasionally for reasons and it's just like 'yeah'. Not that fun man. The valid niche for me is probably 'drunk in a small town where you're freinds with the police'.
