YouTube link

This might be a bit different than what usually gets posted here but I found this on Nebula and its perhaps my favorite video I’ve seen on the platform yet. You can also watch it on YouTube (strangely YT didn’t suggest it to me despite it being right up my alley).

I absolutely love this idea of trying to do long distance riding with little e-bikes and e-scooters, or basically anything on 2 (or just 1???) wheels.

    Yeah, you’d either have to be good at meeting strangers to charge at private homes, or ready to hike to public outlets (and camp near them) if you want to solo a e scooter across the country.

      And charging is still a huge PITA. Even with multiple e-scooters, I recall that charging was still taking all night, and they couldn’t just go to a café and charge up because they were getting kicked out.

      I can see this being easier on an e-bike, where you can still pedal. But an e-scooter? Only for masochists! LOL

      I may check out the guy in the link, though. This stuff always interests me.
