What could go wrong?

IDK but those scooter things have become pretty popular in our area since some company or the other started doing them. You rent them via an app and can just leave them wherever you go and they have people come around to pick them up, recharge them, etc. I see them a lot around the college and in the historic business district that also has a lot of lofts and apartments in it but is thin on traditional parking.

Because this scooter can go from zero to 30 miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds and can reach a top speed of 43.5 miles per hour,

Going 44 mph oh 10 inch wheels does not seem like a good idea

Hate to see what happens when you hit a pot hole

The dual-motor idea is at least a year old. Saw one up close, insanely fast. Badger may do double 1000w on the solar trike. It is still legal because three wheels. With four wheels one will have issues in certain states. There is a brief discussion of this 3-4 wheel regulation at youtube, among other topics in the video: "Podbike Launch and Review."

Micro transport is in. If batteries can be standardized, vending machines will exchange them for increased range. Ditto ebikes where the charging is done by someone else.

Personal vehicles are developing in new directions. It isn't necessary to have two tons of steel and 300 hp just to go around the block.

this is pretty standard upper tier scooter. The fastest one can do 75mph.

Given your high center of gravity and lack of adequate wheel size and suspension that is suicide

The guy that bought the Segway company died from one of those idiotic things.

Trying to use one in Germany? Power prices across the US are set to increase?

A whole new category of X games.

ER surgeons are salivating like Pavlov's dogs with $$ in their eyes.

Those things would be safer with bigger wheels.

Those things would be safer with bigger wheels.

At those speeds and the rider standing upright, any bump, pothole, rock, stick will send them flying

A sturdy bicycle with a 1000W system is a very satisfying vehicle.

Seems like it would be safer.

Seems like it would be safer.

Much, and more comfortable as well.
