So about a year ago I bought a cheap eScooter after selling my stupid car, and I’ve had a pretty good time! I live within 2 miles of my doctor, my dentist, a bunch of grocery stores, and even my mom AND my grandma!
The only problem is despite it advertising 12 mile range, it only goes about 4 before dying. I kind of expected it because it’s under $300.

I weigh 130 pounds so I don’t think that’s impacting it.
While I just uber whenever I need to go further 1-2 times a month, would be nice to have closer to 10 miles if I want to run multiple errands in a row. Any eScooters that actually have good range and are under $500?
Switching to a pedal assist bike could help with the range of you are open to expending some of your own energy.
A good ebike wil probably run him more though
For health reasons I’m iffy on getting a pedal bike, because if I suddenly realize I can’t keep going with my scooter, I can easily get an uber and throw it in the back. Just harder with a bike.
