@MajorRage i dont have suspension, couple of road crossing get bumpy but most of the ride is nice wide path so all good
i find it reliable, my biggest issue is i cant QUITE get two round trips, battery starts to die about 150m from home on the second trip so i charge it every trip
mine capped at 20k/hr and sometimes i feel i could go slightly faster but generally ok
i guess the final evaluation is if it died i WOULD replace it, maybe with a better one although not much bigger as i still want to stick it under the desk

@MajorRage have you consdiered an ebike? 3 km is a fair way on a scooter
Lol no its not. 3km is fark all. An an e-bike for 3km? that's even worse.

@JK yeah, my 3.5km trip averages 12min

@Kiwiwomble Not bad eh although @voodoo would probably run it in that time!

@Kiwiwomble Do you have to ride with protective equipment in Vic? There's heaps of accidents and increasing head injuries here with people riding them. I've started to see people wearing what look like motocross helmets.
-
@antipodean i think so, but just bike level stuff, i got a commuter helmet as felt a more silly wearing a proper bike one in my work clothes, has a light build in on the back
they have to be capped at 20km/h in vic to be legal, which is slower than most bikes i come across on the path, that and you're ability to bail easier than a bike , IMO, makes me think you shouldn't need more than you'd wear on a bike
I admit ive ridden the rental ones without a helmet...communal helmets just fells wrong
