I still remember visiting a friend at a large university campus and wondering why almost everyone seemed to have an electric scooter. At first, I figured it was just another college trend. Then I borrowed one for a week, and by the second day, I realized I had been wasting a surprising amount of time … Read more
A few years ago, I made the mistake of buying an electric scooter based on photos and marketing claims. On paper, it looked perfect. Great range, decent speed, and hundreds of positive reviews. What those reviews didn’t mention was how different the scooter felt once a heavier adult stepped on it. Hills became a struggle, … Read more
When I bought my first electric scooter, I made the same mistake most beginners make. I looked at the biggest range number on the box. One scooter claimed 45 miles. Another claimed 28 miles. The choice seemed obvious. At least that’s what I thought. A few weeks later, I learned something that every electric scooter … Read more
Scooters look simple. That’s probably part of the problem. A lot of people — including me at first — assume scooters are basically “easy mode” transportation. Quick trip to the store, short commute to work, maybe a ride around downtown to avoid parking headaches. What could really happen? Well… quite a bit, actually. I’ve seen … Read more
A few months ago, I watched a guy on an electric scooter lightly clip the side mirror of a parked BMW downtown. It honestly didn’t even look serious. Nobody flew off the scooter.

But one random afternoon, I checked my monthly card history—and yeah… that number was higher than … Read more
The Tiny Ride That Quietly Changed My Daily Routine I’ll be honest—there was a time when my mornings started with stress. Running late. Traffic not moving. Coffee getting cold before I even made it halfway to where I needed to go. That’s when I gave folding electric scooters a shot. And yeah… I didn’t expect … Read more
I didn’t think much about waterproofing… until I got caught in a downpour halfway home. One minute I was cruising like usual, and the next I was staring at my scooter like, “Are you about to die on me right now?” Spoiler: it didn’t die—but that ride completely changed how I look at electric scooters. … Read more
Let me be real with you for a second. When I first started looking into electric scooters, I wasn’t worried about speed or design. My first thought was:“How long before this thing turns into a useless brick?” Because at the end of the day, the battery is the scooter. Once that starts fading, everything else … Read more
