>>1776948>Any electricity powered vehicle that can be powered with plain biomechanical energy is beyond mental retardationYou're beyond mental retardation. What if I don't want to work out? And I don't want to use a car, because I am too lazy to get a driving license, or shit is too expensive to maintain, or it just gets stuck in traffic? But at the same time I don't want to use a bus or other cattle transport because it either gets stuck in same traffic, or it is basically full to the point it is uncomfortable at all.
>is made for the weakest of the weakest consumerist californian sitck-legged bugman onions twinks Think about this different way, this allows more people, including fatasse- perdon overweight disability to use smth else than disgusting public transport or car that is an overkill.
> that it's good for the environment in this God forsaken industrial society.This is where I have to agree, all e-scooters I know are e-waste basically. Because it was either designed by dude that never used it (for example, I had Ninebot e-scooter, and it drives like shit compared to Oxelo manual kick scooter from Decathlon... Which is why I am riding a manual kick scooter right now and planning to covert it into a better electric one), or it is of poor quality and dirty shortcuts in design.
>>1776977Rentals are the main problem, because whenever you own a thing, first of all, you starting to care about it, and you won't be jumping like a retard at 30 km/h from the sidewalk on the road or other retarded shit.
>should have acceleration happen by rotating your wrists *down*I'm not a big fan of motorcycle style throttle. I kinda like levers more.
>that's how you end up with a fully accelerating scooter, held by one hand, and swinging into some poor passerby.Problem is that you don't expect acceleration, and your ride is basically like a poorly calibrated PID controller, overshooting and going back.
Once you get used to it, you kinda ride it like EUC.
