Would like to hear a geordie say commuter scooter, I think

I’m being won back around to scooters!

I was wondering how well those things handle the more challenging potholes around London.

Might be that daft but it’s not that small. It’s basically a BMX with a flatbed rather than a frame.

I have no objective view of how it looks. It is genuinely fun but it also shaves so much time off my commute I wouldn’t stop doing it for anything. Probably my best decision this year.

The pneumatic tires on the Swifty handle potholes and tree roots very well. The fixed rubber wheels on the smaller Micro do feel the terrain a lot more but you really shouldn’t be going all our for speed unless you’re sure of the surface. It actually makes you very aware of your surroundings as you’re always looking for dropped curbs and checking the pavement.

probably wait until they get disc brakes.

Missed out those dumbass single wheel things, which seem to have vanished from London, but were also still in evidence in places in Paris.

unicycles?

Well for completeness I guess so, but I meant these.

same shit. circus skills wankers should get in the bin, every last juggling fire poi tightrope one of them

I’ve been to Paris, Berlin and Seville this year which all have electric scooter schemes and so far have yet to be terrorised as a pedestrian :man_shrugging:

Yeah he was clearly coked up. I’m still adamant that I wouldn’t touch one with a bargepole on London roads though. It’s bad enough on a bike.

I didn’t imagine the people buzzing around me in Central Paris last week though.

Was a fucking nightmare in Barcelona :man_shrugging:

I got a scooter, thanks for all your support!

does a scooter mean
