"run smoothly on air: our pneumatic tires are shock-absorbing things that make for a less bumpy ride" No proper shock absorber is a deal-breaker. Especially in Europe with stone paved streets.
"Setting new standards for user experience with customized end-user App" What a nice way to spell "vendor lock-in"
Why can't these things just use a key like most other powered vehicles!
Not to the millions of cyclists in Europe.
I have both a bike and an electric scooter, and any small bump, twig, or slightly deteriorated road can be felt much more to the point that I specifically avoid a part of my way to work to avoid a deteriorated road. With my bike before having my electric scooter, I didn't even notice the road was bad.
I simply can not drive on stone paved streets more than 5min, its really insufferable. And my electric scooter have shock absorber on the front but not the back. My next one will have shock absorber on both wheels, it's non-negotiable.
