I get weirded out by the Fantuan drivers.... they’re on ebikes in Richmond but they ride them in traffic with the cars. That’s incorrect in my opinion.

^ then when it is to their advantage, they will ride up a sidewalk. And then again, into a bike lane. But hey, someone is getting their friggin pork chop over rice take out in record time and nice and hot.

Wouldn't that be the same if a bicycle hit you too? None of them have insurance and they all play victim.

Anyways I bought an e-bike because its more stable and versatile than a scooter. It goes 40km/h vs a scooter 26km/h. For work I choose e-bike for leisure i choose the e-scooter.

You shouldn't get hassle by a cop if you're not riding like an asshole.

I think we all should be supportive of all these electric personal vehicles because its one less car on the road and better for the environment.

I am leaning towards a scooter lately because our work and residential area has seen increasing bike thief over the past year. The benefit of a scooter is that I can fold it up and tuck it in my desk or home.

There's a group buy for the M365 in December if anyone is interested: https://discord.com/channels/739555365888458802

This one is faster at almost 1/2 the price:

https://apolloscooters.ca/products/a...32400197091364

$4300, goes 60mph / 96 kph.

Best of all, it is an all-Canadian company, with the founders being UBC grads no less.

^ Don't forget to get the seat post accessory! Make it into a motorcycle while you're at it. Some riding with no helmet, gloves, or in their suits. These are just disasters waiting to happen ... 60kms/hr ??!!
