High car prices have pushed people towards to the micromobility sector, where much smaller vehicles offer greater flexibility for a fraction of the cost.

I have it. It's ok for learning. I would recommend a v8s though for something that you won't get immediately bored with.

$650 if you use coupon code HAPPYINMOTION

I find that 15mph is a good sweet spot, and the v8s can easily do that for 20 miles.

The e20 tops out at 12.5mph and is hard to turn with.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
