Electric Scooters

Title says most of it. Spin electric scooters exited the Seattle market and abandoned their scooters all over the city and apparently they have a pi 4 in them!

Looking to get a pet trailer for my electric scooters, but I haven't seen any specifically made for scooters, only bikes.

Will a bike one work for my scooter(s), and if so, will I need any adapters or anything for the hitch? I'd be cautious about messing with the nuts and bolts of the scooter if it requires a very custom solution, but I'm open to it.

My two scooters:

• Kaabo Wolf Warrior 11
• Kaabo Mantis King GT

I’ve had my escooter for about 10 months now and last few days I noticed it really struggles going uphill, it used to be ok and it was doing 18km/h on fully charged battery before, now same hill it’s doing 10km/h… Is the battery covered by warranty? I’ve bought it new in Halfords, I’m going for a free health check today but not sure what to expect…

I know you used to be able to load your custom firmware if the scooter wasn’t running the lates version or something. Is there a new hack that works with the latest firmware?

This scooter features dual 4000 watt motors and can achieve 60+ mph speeds straight and level. But why?

This speed is surely deadly in the event of a crash and it's hard to image it would even be fun to ride at such a speed.

Has micromobility already changed your commuting habits? What about your selection of place to live?

I live in a huge city with gridlocked traffic, and an e-scooter enables selecting (much) cheaper condos further away from the public transportation.

Borrowed my brothers scooter.

Had a blast around Sun River near Bend Or. perfectly sunny day for a 25 mile cruz. All paths and low traffic mid week.

Climbed to the top of Lava Butte Lookout.

So much to explore in this sport. Enjoy!

A new generation of e-scooters with solar panels means never needing to plug in. Is the trade off in weight and size worth the added flexibility?
