What makes bikes better than scooters?
>>
The wheel size. Scooter hits a 4 inch pothole at 20mph, you crash and die. Still a rough impact with full size wheels, but if you know how to handle the bike you'll make it.

Everything.

>>
>>2020830

I went on my way and 2 minutes later a super based middle aged woman caught up on that thing
she looked like maybe 50 kg or idk

Nothing. Bikes are trash and have terrible ergonomics. Scooters give you a great butt and don't make you hip flexors tight.. Plus you can tour on one

>hip flexors
after a bit more than a decade on the bike almost daily this issue started to cause me permanent back pain
>>

>ergonomics
Use english, ESL

> google "ergonomics"

Either mutt government is too dumb to learn their own language, or mutts obsessed with ESLs are.

I swear i had a scooter with 16 inch wheels and a skateboard like deck and BMX handlebars. Cant find it anywhere online.

Now all the kids ride mini wheeled scooters. I cant remember who made it- probably kent, murray, or roadmaster. Bought at Western Auto in the 1980s.

I spent one great summer just trucking it up giant hills and sending it. Ahh to be 10 again.

If I was a kid Id surely have an ebike. They seem cooler than bird style scooters but Im old. I use my legs to ride in the road.

Can someone explain the headset? Looks like a threaded headset and an ahead stem clamped onto it (that's fine with me) but then there's a cap with a QR skewer? So you adjust your threaded headset... then add the stem, just jam it on with the QR since the headsets preload is already set independently... then do up the clamping bolts... at which point the QR completely lost it's merit and you could just aswell remove the cap and QR?
Am I stoopid? Whats going on here?

It filtered me too. These situations call for physical inspection tbqh.
>>
>>2022537
it's to raise the fender if you end up scooting offroad through mud
>>
>>2020455
Lower centre of gravity, bigger wheels, more stable. My go to example is when I ride a rented scooter on shared paths slowing for pedestrians is harder than were I on a bike.
>>
>>2022503
That was it. Torker 2 because it had spokes.

You get to keep your dignity.

scooters are quite a strain on the supporting leg
