Do you own an electric scooter?

[Tony Montana]

These seem to be hugely popular atm. Someone's always riding one whenever I'm out and about. I'm tempted to buy one myself.

Who here has one?

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

The fat druggy across the road from me has one and he looks ****ing ridiculous

[Crimson Dynamo]

i have never seen anyone on one. They sound incredibly dangerous

[Dogeatdog]

I notice a lot of 16-18 year olds driving around on them but I would never get one personally because...

a) I own a car which makes owning one pointless.
b) These scooters are pretty expensive for what they are (I’d rather have a decent mountain bike myself).
c) They do look ridiculous.

I looked into getting one for my son. You do see them about quite a bit now. Why should kids have all the fun!?

[AnnieK]

My son wants one for Christmas...there are a lot of bad reports on them being dangerous and I think at the moment they are not legal to ride on pavements or roads but the government is looking into a change in the law.

They should be regulated, they are a menace on pavements

[Beso]

You can hack them into going 45 mph.


Do not buy them for kids.

you can get up to 30 on one that is not hacked, you should have a licence, I like that they are electric and clean energy but they are dangerous in the hands of kids

[Babayaro.]

Would be too scared to ride one

As a grown adult, no and highly unlikely I will own one. I had one when they were last fashionable.
