I mean from engineering perspective batteries in the board part do get damaged when you damage the board by hitting the floor, and they have increased chances to catch fire when your charge them. And when they do, they fucking destroy everything around. You can’t really stop it either.
Key point: when you charge them. There is no reason to assume that would happen in tram or something.
Not in South FL. Our trains have designated bike racks on the interior and our busses have bike racks on the front. I take a train to work every day, it’s really nice.
Bike/Electric scooter + public transport is a peak mobility, but public transport isn’t even built for that :(
Fr, if the British gov stopped arresting every one who rides an electric scooter then the bus might actually be an attractive option
Well I mean Ireland doesn’t arrest electric scooters but you can’t bring them into transport because, ahem, batteries can explode.
so can a lot of things

Trains and buses have banned them anyway so it limits their use as a last mile solution as you typical need them both ends of the public transport
