I think e-scooters are great. I love riding them. They're easy. They're efficient. They're fun.
And in high density, congested cities, they make so much sense. I was running late for a ferry a few weeks back and unusually I hadn’t ridden my bike. I had to hustle from K Road in Auckland down to the ferry terminal. And instead of literally running two kilometres with my bag, I quickly scanned in an e-Scooter and went straight down Queen Street. I made the ferry with minutes to spare. Enough time to get a coffee. Too easy.
