I quit riding street motorcycles years ago, after a highway crash - wasn't hurt, but could've been killed. Fast forward 35 years, I just turned 60, and in the last 2 months got a free, dirt cheap sit down scooter, the kind the seat is built in, shocks in the rear, and 12 inch wheels, and last week, a free, dirt cheap stand up scooter w/ solid 8 inch wheels and no suspension, both from Amazon (of course). When given just these lower level scooters, between then, I like the sit down one better. Maybe because it seems safer, sitting v. standing, is more comfortable, has a higher rear light to be seen further away, and I'm not going to be jumping over small hills. I'm more interested in riding to the store, on sidewalks when free, and being able to bring home a handful of groceries at a time. This reduces my use of my SUV, thus gas expenses and pollution. It kind of satisfies my motorcycle-like passions, at speeds limited to 16 mph. You can kill yourself at 16 mph, but it's not as likely, and I bet you can sustain a jolt when sitting, that may throw you on a stand up scooter. Which segways me into my concern. That, as scooters go faster and more vehicle-like, that more state and federal laws will be written, requiring a license, insurance, license plates and turn signals / lights. I'm responsible and wear gear and use lights. But I don't like the thought of having to pay the government charges, and pay my insurance company even more.
Sitting is definitely safer than standing on these things! I also like using my scooter in place of my car when possible. You can kill yourself walking and looking at your phone at the same time! lol. I want as few distractions as possible when I am riding mine! Having your posterior absorb some of the shock when riding is also a plus, but not for your posterior... 🤣 As far as laws go, it will likely be based on power/weight as to where you can ride them and what all you have to have to operate them. Just watched a story about an area cracking down of Golf Carts because a small community is using them in place of cars and it's leading to more cart accidents.
The cruiser with dual motors should definitely have at least a 60 volt battery to be optimal. I'm curious to see the reviews and how it actually performs once it's released.
All those with this scoot already know this. Many have preordered the kit .The kit comes with full
Hydraulic zoom breaks.
Nice!! Do you have or are you getting the kit for yours?
@ElectricScooterGuy yes

Yes, a 60V Dual 1000W Emove Cruiser is quite intriguing!!
