So about a year ago I bought a cheap eScooter after selling my stupid car, and I’ve had a pretty good time! I live within 2 miles of my doctor, my dentist, a bunch of grocery stores, and even my mom AND my grandma!
The only problem is despite it advertising 12 mile range, it only goes about 4 before dying. I kind of expected it because it’s under $300.

I weigh 130 pounds so I don’t think that’s impacting it.
While I just uber whenever I need to go further 1-2 times a month, would be nice to have closer to 10 miles if I want to run multiple errands in a row. Any eScooters that actually have good range and are under $500?
Save the ewaste and buy a new battery?
Could it be the quality of the cells thay made it cheap and not the efficiency of the motor?
I would love to know the actual environmental impact of all these cheap electric scooters and other similar vehicles that don’t last…
I didn’t see any way to easily replace the battery, wish I had bought one that had replaceable batteries. If there is a resource for it I would love to know, no luck far.
