Where are you riding your scooter? Because I ride to coffeeshops, or the ferry building to catch a boat, or street festivals around town, not just the office. You want to carry a scooter through the Haight street fair?

Electric scooters are still rather large and bulky. By no means an easy carry.

You can easily get one that slips into a backpack.

They are not that light, but still vastly more portable than a bike and you don't need to worry about them being stolen from the street.

I’ve done quite a bit of research looking for such a scooter and have not found one. Would you mind linking me to such an e-scooter that you’d recommend (with high build quality and reliability - has to be worth buying of course) that can easily slip into a backpack? I truly have not found one that is so. I’ve been looking at the new Boosted Mini X - which could at least potentially strap to the back of a backpack.
