Say you were to go shopping with one of these.Where on earth would you leave it while you're inside the store without having someone steal it?
>>1583544> implying I would leave my electronic transportation device behind when I go shopping
>>1583544You would lock it like a bicycle. Did you really need a thread for this?
>>1583583The frame has no good place for a lock, though.
>>1583544just leave it unlocked why would anyone take something that's not theirs?
>>1583604the head tube: theres a big T on top and a long L on the bottom to prevent it from sliding out of a Ulock, or tightly wound chain
>>1583918>just leave it unlocked why would anyone take something that's not theirs?so they can sell parts of it to get money to buy other stuff.becuase they just want to vandalise it and be a nusiancebecause they dont like where it i and want it removed
>>1583923well these people sound like they need a life and a job.harumph!
>>1583544Just borrow one and scan the qr code of another one when you're done shopping and ride home
>>1583544You fold it up and put it in your backpack.
>>1584089Sorry broken gif
>>1583544who would want to steal it?
>>1584092In the bag
>>1584109>>1584092most don't fold like that, though
>>1583544you lock it to a bike parking pole with a u lock
>>1583544saw a guy carrying his last time I was in the supermarket.his folded stem-to-platform like an old razer but was electric
>>1583570Based jogger
>>1583570R2Dindu
>>1583544When I see these I can't help but feel like they're the laughably bad first iteration of a great and useful technology. What will the future of these electric scooters look like?
>>1587052more range, pretty much
>>1587007
>>1588452>>1587052IDGAF about range but I'm not carrying around a 40 pound anvil while shopping. They need to make them out of CF or Ti or something reasonable. It literally just needs to have 2-3 miles useful range and overnight charge capability, who the fuck wants to ride a scooter for 15 miles, seriously?
>>1588462>2-3 miles useful rangelol, that's not even enough for school commute. i see it as a less annoying alternative for cycling
>>1588469I see it as a faster alternative to walking.
>>1588473>faster alternative to walking.that's literally how NPCs see cycling
>>1588476Oh no what if I'm an NPC? /pol/ won't like me better throw out my bikes now.
>>1583544Back when i was planning on getting one i bought a shoulder strap in advanceProlly doesn't work for the heavier models
>>1587007>R2Dindulmao
>>1588502can't imagine it being a pleasant experience to carry one around like that
>>1587007Embarrassing how loud I laughed at this shitpost.
>>1588462I rode 43 miles all around the city in one day on my monster scooter, it was great
>>1587052>What will the future of these electric scooters look like?Scooters pretty much peaked they have models for every niche within technical possibilities. There is little left to improve, jsut polish models.>IDGAF about range but I'm not carrying around a 40 pound anvil while shopping.This is why EUC is superior. Because when you go into the shop it is like little rolling suitcase only it rolls itsels with it's own motor.>the fuck wants to ride a scooter for 15 miles, seriously?Those who ride for fun. Around 50 miles can be considered as plenty, it's 4-5 hours of ride , "all day", further you become tired, less you can roll more. If you use it just for fixed everyday commuting sure whatever range covers that is enough.
>>1584109Do you know how janky and terrible that would feel to ride? Forget potholes or cracks on the pavement, you would feel every grain of sand you run over on this dinky toy
>>1583544I have one of those non electric ones that can be folded and carried on your back very easily, been going to shops with it
>>1590956Electric ones at least twice as bulky and 4 times heavier.
>>15911164 times in an exaggeration
>>1591116On average they weight like 15 kg, that's nothing unless you're a skelly
>>1583544Why not ride around on it in the shop, pulling a string of shopping trolleys as you go? It's just the stand up version of the mobility scooters the fatties use.
>>1583922>unscrew headset>pick the scooter up and walk away
>>1588476not really, you can cycle 5-10 miles easily. No one walks that distance to commute. 1-3 miles is where scooters should come in as an alternative to walking.
>>1583544non issue i would never ride that thing in the first place and i would never put on that little faggot hat anyone riding these things should be required to wear the helmet at all times so others know there's a retard among them.
>>1594367i gather you're salty about the fact these will get someone to their destination in a flash, while you're stuck in a traffic jam in your shitty pickup truck
This is the future transportation. It's finally here!!http://eleburic.com/2SLm
I have a first gen m365, folds up, weighs about 15kgs, a bit uncomfortable on the shoulder if you don't have a coat on, but nothing terrible I can also let it roll beside me in the store, it's pretty skinny Or leave it with the vigil at the entrance, they'll often offer to keep an eye on it Not like you're gonna do more shopping than you can fit in a backpack anyways
would this be too perverse?
>>1594723adblocked faghot
>>1597240one step away from a walmart mobility scooter
>>1597322way cooler, though
>>1597240>knees up with a bike saddle aka literally sitting on your asshole>bars 4 inches from chestWhy is that even a thing, how the hell do you ride that with decent controllability?
>>1599522I assure you, nobody will ever think that thing is "cool"
>>1599531Why would it be any harder than a bicycle?
>>1587007kek beeps
>>1583923why doesn't anyone steal snowboards or skis from outside ski lodges then?
>>1603021Because at ski lodges the envoronment is white
>>1603022idk bro i leave my car running all the time when I am shoppingalso my bicycle unlockedbut I live in not-US
>>1594700i can afford to sit in traffic it's not like i can't catch up to your 6 mph speed faggot. Bonus points i don't look like i take it in the ass.
>>1603024https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn-IqhezeZwlmao, enjoy your traffic jam, you dumb cunt
>>1603028>80mphHope that thing isn't made in China.
>>1603723They are known to be robust.
>>1583544Troll thread, anyone flamboyantly homosexual enough to ride one of those can easily fit up their own ass.
>>1606506dumb ass post
>>1597240Is there an accessory for securing cargo (such as a frame backpack) to that as well?
>>1603028>70lb>too big and heavy to fold up and strap to a bag when you go in a shop or get on a bus>too small for racks, panniers, fairings>chonky wheels only get an inch of clearance with the undercarriageliterally just get a bicycle
>>1583544Bottom rack of the shopping cart. Like the moms place the stroller. As simple as.
>>1606506>t. car manufacturer lobbyist
>>1583570based
>>1586676Am I supposed to carry a backpack to hold the lock wherever I go?
>>1602375completely different center of gravity, for starters.
>>1612323If you're riding to the store then yes.
>>1597240How fat r u?
>>1612662>you need to be fat in order to want a seat for long rides
>>1615716>Using that for long ridesWhere did your life go wrong, Anon?
>>1584094Let's not pretend that eventually a basketball american would fail to resist the urge anon.
>>1615718why would you have to use a car for everything when more convenient and cheaper options exist?
>>1615728Probably some mayo americans too.
>>1583544My city used to have this before the local """teens""" started to throw them in the river. They ruin everything.
>>1620310its better to own your own anyway, rather than relying on rentals
>>1612323If you're in an area where a scooter is a viable choice, you should probably be carrying a backpack everywhere anyways...
>>1587007based
>>1583544>shopping with one of theseThey are toys. People don't use them for serious transportation.
>>1627336you should go outside some time
>>1590786the monster mini street? is it really loud?
>>1627336Just because you don't doesn't make it a universal truth.
>>1583544My electric scooter has a digital lock and screams racial slurs if anyone tries to move it.
>>1583570>shopping
>>1612323No, you can attach it to the scooter itself.
I used to carry a small lock, mine had wheels with open spokes. People used to bully me being like "haha who would steal a $80 childrens toy" but honestly the first thing someone does when seeing a scooter is ride it so like it would be stolen in seconds I reckon. Way faster than a bike.
>>1634639same here. if i just went to the super market, i push it next to me inside, no one cares. other than that, i have a bike lock with me and i'm eyeballing one of those brake drum locks or whatever they are called.
>>1634639deffothere's no way you can just leave one of these outside
>>1583604I've seen ones with a hole in the board to slip a lock through
>>1612323U-locks come with a clip on mount you can screw to the frame.
>>1639345Those suck. Best bet is putting out a Craigslist ad asking someone to 3D print you a custom mount. Maybe you’ll even make a friend in the process
>>1639386I don't see why you need or want a rigid holder for a u-locksomething custom made with fabric straps would be best.
>>1587007This will never not be funny
1000km on this now, only maitence is using WD bike lube on the metal parts. Only sign of trouble is worn front tire which would be fixed by thicker tyres if I had a max.
>>1639395i don't really see how messing with straps would be more convenient than just snapping it into place
>>1583544you want to prevent niggers form stealing your stuff?what are you some kind of racist?
>>1594364>unscrew your mums panties>fuck her, turn 360 degrees and walk away
Do pic related.Just take it with me to every store I go to. No one gives a shit and I have no intentions of leaving it outside for some crackhead to steal.
>>1643307>no intentions of leaving it outside for some crackhead to steal.racist
>>1586676you can just unscrew the hinge, the fork will pop out of the bottom and then quickly reassemble it and drive away
>>1583544I lock mine with U lock>>1612323Lock is like 1,5kg heavy, you can put that on your backpack no problem. I recommend backpacks with pockets that can fit the lock so you can access it easily.>>1643574Who gonna do that? Too much work. If you don't leave it locked outside overnight you don't have much to worry about. Even then, my scooter was $600, that wouldn't be a big loss if it got stolen.
>>1643307I got kicked out of the store once. Reason was that small kids could trip over it. Week later they added this sticker.
>>1583570>Cyberpunk theme trap remix starts playing
>>1644598>guy glitches his way out through the ceiling
>>1583570I love how the security is like ... Just amazed he is actually doing it and they just let him go lmao
>>1620310I wish they would do that here. Some asshole left one in the middle of the sidewalk at the bottom of my driveway yesterday. This morning I found it thrown up my driveway right behind my car. I threw it into the street. It beeped furiously while I called it a fucking piece of shit. I can't wait to see where it winds up tomorrow!
>>1583544The people who ride them only eat out and only buy shit off Amazon.
>>1583544epoopers deserve the car collisions they get.
>>1649396are you too fat to ride an electric scooter?
>>1649396I've found the right electric vehicle for you.
>>1649386don't you feel like an asshole for destroying other people's property like that?
>>1643601That looks big enough to let you simply wriggle the thing out through the hole.
>>1656205take your meds you fucking unhinged mental patient
>>1583570Niggatron
>>1649386I live in the hills above Hollywood and they're a damn plague in my neighborhood. People ride them up up for house parties and whatever and then discover that we're in a cell service dead zone and they can't re-activate the scooters without a data connection, and they end up left here for ages sometimes, I think also because of the cell service issue. (They can't report their position so nobody knows to come pick them up.)
God I hate it when they ding their bell at you to move, I just pretend I cant hear it and keep walking in the middle of the sidewalk
>>1663126>I just pretend I cant hear it and keep walking in the middle of the sidewalkas a cyclist i just want to kick retards like you in the back of your head
>>1663126i used to get told to get a bell all the time but now that i have one i realize that everyone hates being dinged at. I do it for my own satisfaction.
>>1663156you would fall off and hurt yourself fool
>>1663159not before making you taste the pavement
>>1663263taste my unwashed cock, the sidewalk is for pedestrians
>>1603723I own a kaabo wolf king, I've gone 55+ mph on seattle streets with it, it's fun to get comment's from people in cars suprised about the speed.
>>1662617struck a nerve ay? lmao
>>1583544we're going to get these banned in my municipality soon, it's gonna be great.
Why is everyone who's using these either a fat fuck, a woman, or a skinny teenager with soibeard? I've never seen an athletic person riding these gay hoverboards.
I encountered a zoomer zooming around on an electric scooter, staring at his phone. Wanted to smack him upside the head.
>>1583544>Say you were to go shopping with one of these.Nah, pass.
Just take it in with you. If this was a bike they wouldn't have let us in. Taking the kiddy out for lunch.
>>1664569Maybe I was overly optimistic when I saw that the thing only weighed 13 kilos and imagined that I'd be able to just carry it around like a handbag, but that shit is actually quite painful.
>>1587007top lols
>>1583544I don't live where there are black people.
>>1664990>he thinks you can trust white people to not steal stuff
>>1664073i'm plenty athletic
these things should have a key to control power to control the power being turned onit's just annoying to do it through the app
>>1648918Store security isn't generally authorized to do anything except call the cops. They're there to psychologically intimidate teenage would-be shoplifters, not to prevent actual theft
>>1583544You chuck it in the ocean
>>1674858In some places they are authorised to detain you.
>>1583570He is correct. I ride my bike through home depot and wal-mart and nobody says shit.
>>1678184i take it you must be white
>>1610432I believe you could just clamp a mountain bike rear rack to the seat tube once you have a seat installed, though at this point it really starts looking like an elderly lady grocery cart.
>>1680881Actually it's not quite that simple because virtually every seatpost clamped rear rack I can find is angled from the clamp to compensate for the seatpost angle, so if you put it on an e-scooter with a perfectly vertical seatpost the rack would be angled upward toward the back.
>>1680881That thing would actually be pretty nice if its range weren't so pitiful.
Had a kaabo mantis for a week or two now and its just not really practical in the city, too many cars and once you get used to speeding going slow on the footpaths feels boring
>>1599522Nope. Actually more pathetic. At least the ones using the mobility scooters admit being lazy lard asses. This is trying to act cool ehen youre not.
>>1618111>that piece of shit>more convenientLmao
Taiwan.
What's the max speed on the higher end scooters and would I need a license? Failed my restricted.
>>168380180mph.https://youtube.com/watch?v=Nn-IqhezeZwLegality depends on the area where do you live.
>>1683801>Failed my restricted.then stay the fuck off the roads
>>1683801>I don't know how to properly act on the roadFuck off from the road
>>1683814>>1683843Um no bros I need to get places too and a fast scoot will help if I keep getting jewed out of a licence
>>1683801https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhI8ZQ8rSqMhighway speeds
>>1683855>me myself and IStay the fuck away from the road
>>1683801How the HELL did you fail your licence test? And I'm betting you're UK based, so yes you need a license
>>1683855a fast scoot will help you get into the emergency room you uncoordinated cunt
>>1584094these are not cheap anon
>>1606506enjoy walking retard
>>1683862so any retard can get one of these and go flying into a car or something

Has anyone got one of the new vsett scooters, Im looking to upgrade my ninebot
>>1684097did you find that dude arousing?
This thread is almost one year old and Xiaomi m365 is almost 5 years old and still the most cost effective one, when is it getting dethroned? Or is scooter technology still not refined enough?
>>1687584The M365, or its upgraded version, the 1S just get so many things right in the 25 kmph class that you can't really improve the package much without significantly increasing the price.
Bros I crashed into an old guy on a bike today... I feel terrible. I was riding a kaabo mantis.
>>1688844Old guys are the worst. They always move really slowly and hog the whole bike lane for themselves by driving in the middle of it.
>>1683855It's no different than a bike. You only need a license for a car because they're huge and can kill many people at once. Scooters, bikes will always be free from the law, it's our right.
>>1688844I crashed into a girl on a bike. Don't feel bad because shit happens. If you were both in cars you'd likely be either injured or severely in the shitter financially.
>>1688844Imagine if you had felt some of that before. You might have ridden more responsibly and avoided the crash.
