Graciok 92 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 PEV(personal electric vehicles) owners report in! If u dont own any, are you considering getting one? Are they legal in your country? Here are 3 of my devices, wheel to left is basicaly one of best and most capable wheels currently produced, wheel to right is wheel with most torque (currently in repair), and casual cheap xiaomi scooter that I keep as backup or for friends. Best and fastest city transportation method, car is not even close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Man 1,348 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 They're illegal here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/powered-transporters/information-sheet-guidance-on-powered-transporters So I don't own any or want to.

≈Flukejiver 1,185 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I’ve had electric devices when I was younger, obviously none that go as fast as the ones you posted do. But I don’t live in a city environment so owning one wouldn’t be ideal unless I took it somewhere to ride around for fun. Quote Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alice 317 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 wouldn't consider getting one would likely just get a car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graciok 92 Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 @Wee Man O ye, UK law along with singapore are most fucked up. I always wonder where that fucking green/eco talk goes when it comes to PEV in certain countries that love that eco PR. Beside that not everone like to arrive to point of destination sweaty like a fucking dog (bicycle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanne30 324 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 ye they are legal, thing is city here is made for not walking so everyone has cars XD electric cars are a thing here since they pay less taxes. I dont own one, but i got a friend that has the new E-Tron from audi, sick car but he was returning from manuel antonio the other day from a trip, if he exceeded x amount of speed he wouldnt make it 2 san jose and would of had 2 stop and charge it for 30-40 mins, ik its the future, but the engines/batteries dont last long, and tbh stopping 4 rechargin 30-40 minuetes at a station sucks and more if u have 2 wait for ur turn haha diesel papi all the way XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch 1,116 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I live too far from the city so they are not beneficial to me unfortunately. If I were to get one though it would be a scooter because those are fun to ride around on.

Vanzant 1,383 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I had a e bike for a while. How cheap it was to get to work and no insurance was awesome Quote Not sure if you heard. I was leader of The BlacKnights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NarNumbers 193 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Always wanted to try one of them scooters but not sure where to get it/don't really have a use for it other then for fun. I drive a tesla model 3 , got it 2.5 years ago, love it. Was my first electric vehicle. Quote Uncrackable Never Broken Always Egg Nar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe 254 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Weeman said they're illegal so I trust him. I've bopped around on these when on holiday and they're pretty useful but a death trap at the same time. Probably wouldn't get one though Quote ROT MotM April 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably wouldn't get one though Regulations are different across countries, according safety- if rentals are the only thing u tried its understandable u didnt feel safe, they often have plastic wheels and are low quality overall. I got over 10k km overall on scooters/wheels and never had any crash. Before I transitioned to wheels I had this bad boy going up to 90km/h.

Frankventura 229 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Absolutely legal in my country but the only electric I expect to buy its a car, and not in a early reality I expect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
