So I've never seen your channel before, but with this video being the most hilarious with its various effects I must admit this is one of the most entertaining videos I've seen on any topic all year so far!!!

[signdeals]

I think another big factor is cost. You can get a pretty great scooter for less that $1000.

Great comparison video, Tim! I love bicycles, but Escooters are what I reach for most days :)

I'm choosing an ebike over an electric because I'm planning on using it as my daily driver for in city stuff. While I'll have to buy multiple locks and chains to secure it, I'll be able to go to doctor appointments, buy groceries from stores, and travel around on a vehicle that I'm more familiar with.

I currently don't have a car and the used car market is horrible right now, so ebike is the best choice for me. I've been walking around town, getting driven by family/friends if the walk is over 3 miles, and taking Uber instead, but that has been much cheaper for me than buying a car. I think an ebike will allow me to travel easier without having to pay from expensive insurance+ maintenance.

I bought a RadWagon 4 a couple days back after scouring the internet for an affordable ecargo bike and I hope that it will fulfill my needs as a daily commute ebike and a bike I can use to buy groceries and other goods.

I don’t care what people think of me, scooter’s get much butter range and are more compact, so I chose scooter.

4:10 A bike rack at the front of busses? I've NEVER seen that before lmao, your city is lucky to have those! 😀

With an electric bike you can build up your cardio very slowly. Eventually the range increases dramatically. People e-scooter for very short distances. Usually distances they could walk easily. I admit I have little love for the e-scooter. But it's also more light vehicle on the road and actually encourages authorities to imagine a different kind of urbanism.

Hey Tim, I’m so glad you did a video about this because I was hoping and I was even thinking in my mind, is anyone gonna do a video of a e-scooter vs. electric bike comparison and the first video I see is yours! That is awesome! I’ve been trying to get a scooter for almost a year; And I haven’t been able to buy one because I have a sick wife who deals with leukopenia which drains a lot of my money. So thank you for creating this video. I’m trying to make a decision. And you just helped me. Thank you so much.

I wanted to add, that, since the freight is also half of the motive power on ebikes, the range for one with a similar battery to scooter is 2-3 times longer (there are some scooters with massive batteries out there...if you are willing to shell out a few thousand bucks 😉)

I had an ebike for a while, but recently got an escooter. I have decided to return to an "analog" bike, and keep the scooter – but that's just my preferences in my situation.

[dennisgolden]

I chose a electric scooter because the battery was much larger for the price and the weight wasn't as much with a electric scooter.
I think electric bikes are great and can handle better.
The electric scooter is more portable in most cases.

[joebidenshearingaid]

Every video I watch of yours, it really reminds me why I live in Victoria, it’s so nice .

[worldisone]

Because of stability and safety I will always prefer e-bikes

[kengoold]

great video Tim, I have a one wheel electric board, glad I brought this over an electric skate board, it's not for commuting, the fun factor you said about the scooter and the smile on your face is exactly what I get from the one wheel pint, also portability into coffee shops is great. I ride distances on a pushbike, not electric, but am getting the EV bug and want more. I read the comments below, looks like unless you're commuting long distances ( these days the Merth RS pro can do 80 to 100 kays so I don't think distance is even an issue now) both will do the job, but most comments below are highly in favour of the scooters, fun factor, cheaper and portability appear to win the race. You made the choice much easier. Thanks Mate. Ken. Australia

[drmelissawest]

Great video. Can't beat the convenience of the scooter. I guess I just don't go that far!

Such a underrated channel I’m subscribing

[spunkflunk]

My escooter has bigger 11 inch offroading tires and 2 wheel drive. It goes offtoading where by budy goes dirt biking with ease

[xwmunzt]

I'm never going to watch your content again because I'm not interesting in electric stuff but your vibe is so fun I subscribed anyways

[iamsemjaza]

There are small after-market cargo racks for those scooters too

I just bought a Splach Titan and couldn't wait for it to arrive. On my first ride, I was stunned by how hard it was to get used to. Specifically, the throttle, brakes, and stability. For the throttle, I mean, you barely squeeze the trigger and ZOOM, off it goes, even in single mode. I live in a hilly area and the first time I went down a hill I was staggered when the regen brakes kicked in. Like the throttle, the power onset is not gradual at all. Now, when I go downhill, I start braking and keep the brakes on during the whole decent. Another feature where I live is roundabouts. With no turn signals and added instability by riding with one hand using the other to signal, there is no way I'm going to attempt to navigate a roundabout. So, I wind up pushing the scooter around until my exit. For me at least, any fun factor is pretty much completely mitigated by the fear factor. Anyone wanna buy a slightly used Splach Titan 10? 🙂

[deangully]

An honest question, what would you do if your electric scooter were to run out of battery? do you HAVE to push it or can you just use it like how you would use a manual kick scooter?
