Specifically, two wheels. I bought an e-scooter!

I’ve been off wheels for more than two years. I loaned my parents my car, as they live in a car-centric area and I don’t, and now it’s just my Mom still living and she’s never been in a position to give it back.

Mobility = freedom.

I AM SO EXCITED.

    My first scooter tops out at 15.6mph. My current I have had over 30mph, however state law limits that to 20mph. I really like the new scooter, but if I had realized about the limiting law I would have gone for something a little smaller.

      I only need to be able to go just fast enough that cars around me will be less likely to whip around, but thankfully there are lots of residential roads I can use around here, so my hope is to not have to be on the main roads all the time.

        I do most of my scooting through residential areas too.

        Also, watch as the battery gets lower. If it I’d like mine, your percentage is going to drop really quick under 40%.

        I went out to take an ~3 mile ride this morning. I left the house at 37%, got to the farmer’s market 2/3rds of a mile and was at 34%. Left the farmer’s market and a block later was under 30%. I ended up turning around early and walked it a ways home. I got home at 2%.
