Food for thought..

Something else to consider with E-bikes is they have the potential to be much more useful than a scooter in terms of carrying loads. With a rack and panniers, lots of errands can be done on an e-bike, whereas with a scooter you're limited to a backpack. Scooters seem fun and easy for getting yourself places, but for grocery runs or just bringing some extra stuff, an e-bike is a solid alternative to a car for may trips.
