RE: Weekend-engagement topic week 29: Talkin' toys

An electric scooter would be so cool! There's a young bloke around here who rides a really nice one, it's mostly black but has a lovely polished wood deck with inset red highlights. He whizzes around on it and you see him speeding up and down the hills between here and the CBD. I've often wondered if one would be a good option for traveling the 5km into work - faster than walking, and then just plug it in to charge once in the office.

I think an electric scooter would be a way better option than walking to work. I think that would be just about the best way there is to go 5km twice a day...

Yes! There's talk of them putting the electric hire scooters in our CBD. They've had them in Brisbane for a while now, although it hasn't been without its issues - speeding riders, dumped scooters, lost helmets and so forth. If they do go ahead with them here I'll definitely be giving one a try and assessing it as a future work transport option :)
