Kwiggle folding bike

[Daydream believer]

I didn't use a trailer, but rather found a full set of panniers more useful and compact. They hook right onto shopping carts and can be carried right into the boat. The bike does not to have the correct carriers, front and rear, which would not work on most folding bikes.

Brompton have sussed that-- at a cost

I don't think any e-scooter users were former cyclists.

We are both cyclists. If e-scooters were legal (we are U.K. based) we would have e-scooters on board - the folders in the OP are interesting but I suspect are too many compromises to be fun for a “real” cyclist anyway.

My e-scooter is an off roader....and can be fun. But as the video says, first and foremost you need transport for victualling. E-scooters are very handy for that...you can take them inside the shop for security. If you want cycling as exercise....or to go great distances....then you need a bicycle....a proper one

You can own an escooter in the UK, but you can only use it on private land, only hired escooters are legal in oublic and you need to have category Q on your driving licence.

Obviously this is widely disregarded and not enforced.

In France there are many laws…and I am probably the only person who obeys them. First is they have to be emasculated (20kph I think)…insured (expensive as the wife reminds me especially as I hardly use it)…no seat (then it’s classed as a motorcycle). Helmet. I also use reflective jacket and gloves. One person only…even though you see mothers picking up their child from school…or two young people on them. You can use cycle lanes or roads that are no more than 50kph. But it’s up to the mayor where you can use them

Actually it is enforced up here - not 100%, but certainly far too much for any normal driver to take the risk with - usually prosecuted for driving without insurance 6pts and £300 + seized scooter…

Very little regulation in the US, and so far, accidents have not been a big problem. But it could change with rising popularity. For the present, it is wait-and-see.
