I’ve been considering an e-bike or similar for quick trips from my house to coffee shops, bars, the beach, etc. It seems like a great option to not worry about parking and avoid traffic. But I can’t figure out what I would do with such an expensive thing (compared to a regular bike) when I get there.
Do you lock them to bike rack, or whatever random thing you can find? What about scooters, can you even lock them? Is that secure enough?
I really enjoyed shared scooters since you don’t have to worry about that issue at all, until the city council in my city regulated them out of business.
Are you happy with the scooter instead of an ebike?
I think so mostly because the footprint of 2 bikes vs 2 foldable scooters. I’ll admit though, I’ve never owned an ebike, so I can’t say for sure which might be better. Ultimately, all my trips are 5 miles or less, so utilizing battery power 100% isn’t an issue, but I imagine with a bike, it’s easier to go much further.
