Watched a YouTube about electric vs gas scooters in Taiwan ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ผ. Apparently it's like 6 scooters for every 10 people, crazy!

But the uptake of electric scooters wasn't as much as they thought, but a lot of complaints were around "cost", "parking" and "weight"

Sounds like an electric bicycle would solve all those issues over an electric scooter ๐Ÿ›ต

Especially for the poorer, high 2 wheel usage nations, like Vietnam or India.

Just have to pedal a bit! ๐Ÿ˜‰
