    I had a regular kick bike and they are cool!

    An electric version wouldn’t be permitted where I live. 🙄

      I used to have one when I was a kid but a cop stole it claiming it was “evidence” (it wasn’t, it was a gift from my grandma).

    Put a seat on it and it’s a scooter. There’s no reason scooters must have tiny, hard wheels. Many don’t. Then again, the definition of “scooter” is really blurry. I consider them to have seats like traditional ICE scooters. Razor “scooters” are just clown kick bikes.

      When I was a kid scooters had little bike tires and bicycle handlebars, with bicycle breaks. Then these damn kids started making everything into blades and razors and the old scooters disappeared.

    What are the advantages of electric kick-bikes over e-bikes?

        Lower center of gravity which might be easier for people with balance difficulties.

        Folds up.

        Smaller footprint.

        That’s pretty much all I can think of off the top of my head as well.

          If you have balance difficulties it’s probably best that you use something with 3 or 4 wheels. Both Ebikes and ESooters go fast enough to fuck you up.

      You get to have terribly balanced muscles leaving you both in shape, and in a lot of pain. Like most older skateboarders.

      The human body is not built to kick the floor for hours a day everyday as a mode of transportation.

      Easier to store. Especially if the handlebars fold down.
