I rented a Lime scooter once. Slow but fun. I decided to never rent again, Bought a performance scooter that goes over 100KPH. Total thrill ride.

I feel like this is really what killed the scooter companies. Either you have enough need to use one for commuting/etc. that you just buy your own, in which case you always know where it is, know it's in good condition, charged, etc. or you have infrequent need for one, in which case you're looking at spending maybe $20/year on scooters.

100kph on a SCOOTER? That sounds absolutely insane. Is it as absolutely insane as it sounds?

108kph/67mph flying down Mt Killington was a little sketch tbh

Different market, different product.

You ain’t scooting in Manhattan or San Francisco at 65mph.

I assume this was a Vespa style scooter, not a “stand on a board with no protective gear at all” type of scooter?
