minus-squarebeeng@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up24arrow-down1·edit-21 year agoWatched a YouTube about electric vs gas scooters in Taiwan 🇹🇼. Apparently it’s like 6 scooters for every 10 people, crazy! But the uptake of electric scooters wasn’t as much as they thought, but a lot of complaints were around “cost”, “parking” and “weight” Sounds like an electric bicycle would solve all those issues over an electric scooter 🛵 Especially for the poorer, high 2 wheel usage nations, like Vietnam or India. Just have to pedal a bit! 😉
