e-scooters

Its interesting to see whats out there...

 

The main concern with the 'stand up scooter'  (as the Op posted) is the tiny wheels... 

Surely its too easy to come a cropper on some bump, especially if planning to ride from the pub... and the chances of the Op not wearing a helmet in that scenario are much smaller too...

 

If riding back sois etc - I think the best options are those Khun LA posted...   

Just a standard electric scooter... I'm I'm not mistaken they are legal on Sub Sois and minor roads (although thats quite a grey area).

I saw the EM5 model in Home Pro on sale for 27,000 baht. I think it is perfect for running around the town using back alleys only, provided it does not need a motorcycle driving license or a registration. Does it?

We ended up buying the EM3 from Homepro.  It was discounted to 18,000 THB.  She never uses it 😁

 

But I found it surprisingly handy for short trips when it wouldn't be worth using the real motorbike.  It's 0-10 KPH acceleration would rival a big bike, then it runs out of puff and eventually tops out at 30 KPH, which seems to be regulated, as even crouching low and riding down a very steep hill it will not go past 30 KPH.

It has pedals, so I guess needs no licence, although I do have a bike licence anyway.

The lithium battery has a claimed range of 40km .... but 20km seems more realistic (at max speed everywhere 😁) and the charge/fuel guage is useless as it shows full for 19.9km, then suddenly goes red and I have to pedal home.

 

Suspension is supermarket bicycle pogo-stick quality, brakes are drum, but sufficient, LED lights are good, basket is handy - but it's really only good for very local trips and needs changing regularly.
