Comment on Thoughts on my first electric scooter purchase

The main factor that's been an issue for me using an electric scooter was road surface quality. Even small potholes and cracks in tarmac make a scooter dangerous.

A bike, electric or acoustic, can go just as fast and be less particular about road quality. A Walmart pedal bike can get you a long way for rather cheap

Totally agree. Loss of control, jolts to the rider or potential damage to the scooter

I have a few friends with much wider scooter tires, and a bit of a suspension and they report it makes a big difference.

I have never heard a non-electrified bicycle referred to as "acoustic" before and I love that so much. :)
