A kick scooter weighs about 5 pounds and folds up. An electric kick scooter is maybe 30 pounds, and again folds up.

A cargo bike is 60 or 80 pounds, and generally don’t collapse (yes, I know some models do).

So it’s easier to carry a scooter up stairs than it is a cargo bike.

I was thinking of a classic gas powered motor scooter, you frequently see those parked in streets in these cities.
