I've been helping out at a few Renegades meets in Burlington and usually bring my old car, but with fuel and parking in town getting silly I've started looking at a small electric scooter for short hops. The iScooter i8M keeps coming up in searches, and I found iScooter i8M Electric Scooter Review while trying to work out whether it's actually suited to a heavier rider on Vermont's lumpy back roads.
My concern is that most of these commuter scooters look fine on smooth pavement but I'm not sure about the suspension and brakes on frost-damaged tarmac, and I don't want something that folds itself loose in the boot of a car. I have no hands-on time with one, so I'm only going off what I've read. Anyone here actually run a small scooter for errands or car-show trips? Would value real-world thoughts.
