So about a year ago I bought a cheap eScooter after selling my stupid car, and I’ve had a pretty good time! I live within 2 miles of my doctor, my dentist, a bunch of grocery stores, and even my mom AND my grandma!

The only problem is despite it advertising 12 mile range, it only goes about 4 before dying. I kind of expected it because it’s under $300.

I weigh 130 pounds so I don’t think that’s impacting it.

While I just uber whenever I need to go further 1-2 times a month, would be nice to have closer to 10 miles if I want to run multiple errands in a row. Any eScooters that actually have good range and are under $500?

    Ahh alas, I am a 130 pound adult male for reasons that aren’t fantastic.

    I have debated getting a bike for the days I feel up to it, I just know that many days I wouldn’t be up to it so I need something for those days.
