This is exactly why I went for an e-scooter instead of a car. It has enough range to get me anywhere around town and back, it's fast enough to safely ride on the roads, and above all else it doesn't require costly refueling, insurance, or a license. I just plug it in and it's ready to go by the next time I need to use it. It has turn signals, suspension, and a bright enough headlight/taillight to be perfectly suited for nighttime use too.

I just want to check though: Do you wear motorbike safety gear? Because you REALLY REALLY should, e-scooters are great but the one thing they are not is safe (if you go faster than a moderate run).
I wear proper safety equipment, including a helmet with a face shield as well as knee and armpads. My scooter is electronically limited in speed so I can't go any faster than a bike can. No need to worry!
