I've been saving sooo much money by using a scooter rather than taking cabs/driving. Jesus this thing has paid for itself 5 times over already.
I have to say, 15mph is the best speed for city scootering. I can go 22mph, but with potholes, asshole drivers, people opening doors suddenly in the bike lane, and dummies sharing the road riding other micromobility solutions - 15mph is about right for human reaction speed...
Disk, drum and ebrake, energy regen, 10" wheels, dual shocks in the front, rear motor of 500 watts. MINIMUM you need. Something like the Apollo Air.
That said, I'm rooting for the TAUR brother. Scooter is too expensive for me, but I do like it at about $800-$1000.
