    The video was great, but the design of the scooter doesn’t match the vibe of the video. I can’t quite explain it, almost feels like an SNL skit

    Spike from Buffy needs to wear a helmet.

    Jokes aside, the video keeps saying “beautiful”, but that thing looks awful, IMO.

    It has some good design features that I’m surprised hasn’t been implemented in many other vehicles I’ve seen (under seat storage), but I hate the design and can only imagine how bad those angles are if they hit a pedestrian. Even if you need a motorcycle lisence for higher speeds, the number of people riding on sidewalks to this day make this design scary to me even at lower speeds.

      Eh, that under seat storage is completely normal here, even for a number of electric scooters. The only improvements this has is an ugly design, a hefty price tag and pandering to tech bros

        Ah, I didn’t know that. I’m not big into scooters most of what I’ve seen has been the rentable sitting ones that just have a post or standing scooters that don’t have storage, but that makes sense that others have implemented it already. I think you’re right about who it’s pandering to, the venn diagram of people who order this and people who order a cybertruck is a circle.
