REVIEW – While on vacation several years ago, my car lost a belt idler. Miles from the nearest auto parts store left me few options other than begging for a bicycle, bumming a ride, or calling for a VERY expensive taxi ride across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel. Thankfully a park ranger had mercy […]

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed or purchased a half dozen electric scooters over the last few years, and I’ve definitely refined what I’m looking for in a good commuter scooter. First, it needs to be portable/foldable for public transport or stowed in a trunk for last-mile quick trips after a journey. Second, it needs to not

REVIEW – If you’ve been in any medium to large city lately, you’ve likely seen rental electric scooters littering the sidewalks and zipping by you as you walk the streets. Perhaps you’ve even used one. While they are rather annoying for pedestrians, they are an efficient way to get around cities, and quite a bit

REVIEW – We recently completed a 5.5-month world cruise with a couple of extensions in the Baltic. One thing that stood out to us in Europe, and especially the Scandinavian countries, was the huge number of bicycles and scooters – electric scooters. Most were the rental variety, like Lime and others, but wow – scooters

REVIEW – My 7 year old son and all his friends have scooters that are way cooler than what I grew up with. Back in my day, a scooter was just a skateboard with a handlebar bolted to it so I jumped at the chance to review the 5th Wheel M2 electric scooter to see

NEWS – When I say Segway, you most likely envision a two-wheeled self-balancing scooter type of vehicle like the Segway Ninebot S Max which Matt reviewed last year. If you’ve wanted a Segway but didn’t want to find space for it in your garage, then you need to take a look at the Segway Ninebot

REVIEW – Unless you’ve not walked around in a city or college campus town in a while (I know, there’s been a pandemic and all), you’ll know that electric scooters are a thing. There are companies that rent them, and there are many companies that sell them directly to end-users. One such company is ScootHop,

REVIEW – When OTD offered to send over their latest L2-H electric scooter for review, I’m not sure what I was expecting. I’ve ridden scooters of this style with no motors, gas motors, and a range of electric motors (from barely-able-to-move to too-fast-for-comfort). This new scooter from OTD might be the goldilocks scooter for me,

CROWDFUNDING NEWS – Last year I reviewed an electric scooter by MICROGO.  It’s top speed was 18.5 MPH, which I thought was plenty fast.  I was wrong.  I need a scooter that is way faster, and so do you.  Or at least that’s what the good folks at Segway believe.  Yeah, that Segway.  The boring,

REVIEW – If you have ever had the pleasure of riding an electric scooter then you know how fun they can be. Not only are they fun to ride but they are a great alternative for transportation, especially if you are going a distance that seems too far to walk and not worth taking a

REVIEW – We live in a more rural setting, but our kids are more urban. Our daughter is finishing her last year at college, and our son moved to a job in a major city. She’s able to walk to classes, but her campus is huge, and some buildings are over 30 minutes away. He

REVIEW – In a world where electric scooters are on nearly every street corner, it takes something special to stand out. Ninebot is a scooter brand that’s been around for some time now, and they make many of the kick-scooter style electric scooters you see for rent in urban areas. Segway has been around longer,

NEWS – Chances are good you’ve seen a few kick scooters around your town by now. I ride a kick pretty regularly and the reality is that they’re a great ‘last mile’ solution for getting from mass transit, or your parking lot to the office. Not all of them are equal, however, and Inboard’s new

According to the movie Back To The Future 2, by 2015 we should have now been riding around on our own personal day to day hoverboards. What a great world that would have been. As we are in 2018, and yet still don’t have the same technology to ride a non-wheeled skateboard deck that defies

I’ve always wanted to try a self-balancing scooter or hoverboard but I decided I valued unbroken bones and a bruise free body even more. But turning a hoverboard into a go-cart was just too fun to pass up. So when Jetson offered me their JetKart universal hoverboard accessory, I said let’s do it!
