This blogpost is about the un-motorized kickscooter, not the motorized kind.

This is a very valid concern to raise.

I will note (as the author) that using the un-motorized kickscooter means traveling at a slower speed than virtually all e-scooters out there on the market. Slower speeds make for safer riding as it is much easier to stop--and over time you get very familiar with terrain and spotting the risks in surface imperfections.

Clerky when I last used it nearly a decade ago was lead generation for Delaware's business franchise tax.

Nothing ever came of my incorporated business (no spend, no revenue) and I received extremely menacing "collections" physical mail over many months about delinquent business incorporation franchise tax payments and escalating fees + fines (which I never paid).

The experience left me a very negative opinion of Clerky (and Delaware).

Why would anyone prefer to drive when you can be driven?
That is a very uncharitable read.
Ironically, your sentence structure here carries the feint smell of LLM
