Any insight on electric scooters for adults?

FYI.
Based on what the amazon seller told me, I think these are on sale because they are the older gen 1 model? Gonna try Best Buy and see if they have gen2 in stock.

Just in time for the cold weather to set and having to drive again! Why not just take transit?
If you are serious about an EV commute/run around ...these are excellent.

What my daughter has - really surprising how quickly you get to speed and you can pedal as much or little as you like.

This is a great idea. Would make pulling kids behind me a breeze in my old age!If you are serious about an EV commute/run around ...these are excellent.

Strap one of these on and giddy up…
Folding e-bike will not take a lot of space. Hell you can leave it in your trunk overnight most likely.I wish I had space for a ebike. It took months of negotiating to get a spot for my motorcycle and she barely fits
Baha they are way too heavy
Probably 50-70lbs. Take out battery to charge in the house, bike should lose 10-15lbs.

Those are illegal in Toronto fyi.
I assume you have a point?
51 km/h gets you a ~$10 ticket. Scooter sets you up for ~$6000 in tickets. I would argue that while both are illegal they are not remotely equivalent.
That's actually a pretty slick ride.
Wouldn't mind one of those in time. Would really help in towing the kids...so would working out more though!

speaking about legal - I've seen a lot of these electric unicycles on Lakeshore trail flying by me on my road bicycle with crazy speeds... Those guys have as much gear as I have on my motorcycle (for a reason I suppose)... how it could be legal, never seen them stopped and by who? I don't see any enforcement on trails even in most popular places..
Any motorized conveyance that doesn't fit within one of the few narrow exceptions (such as ebike) is a motor vehicle. At any time when riding in public, a cop could rightfully hand you >$6000 in tickets. It's up to an individual to determine if that is worth the risk. The other interesting scenario is if you hurt someone. Do you have liability insurance that will cover you when riding an unlicensed, uninsured motor vehicle in public? I don't think I do. I have an extra 1M rider but I think that only works with legal vehicles.
