Lime shuts in 12 markets, lays off around 100

If I bike past 3 miles I'm gonna start sweating, and pushing 5 miles I start feeling it on bad air days. With the scooter you just stand still and don't have to do any special layering. People ride them in suits.

An ebike solves that. Which one is more comfortable/safer? I haven't ridden an electric scooter so I don't know.

ebikes for sure. Bigger wheels go over potholes better, and only the original bird scooters actually had air in their tires, the rest are just hard rubber that feels pretty rough/bone-rattly on bad roads.

Safety wise, I'd say they are about even. Cars aren't going to value your life either way.

I have never tried a scooter, is it really that easy doing a full stop with a scooter at 25km/h safely?
