happy scooting hi it’s tim from tim’s electric today i want to share with you when do you choose to purchase an electric bike or an electric scooter so one of the reasons why i like electric vehicles is so i can just do my grocery shopping but when i show up with my e-bike i gotta find a great big heavy lock and get started with it but if i’m using my electric scooter watch this [Music] what about storage well there’s a big difference with storage if you have an e-bike which you can actually do is you can actually grab some pennies put those pennies on it just makes it so much easier or even if you just put it on the cargo rack at the back and some of them some of the big ones the cargos they’ll actually have grippy bolts at the very front of the actual bike that you can actually put great big racks on as well so hey that’s fantastic with a scooter what i found is i can loop a little bag up the front here some have a little hook up here as well um what i typically do though is i just put a backpack on one of the other issues you have between e-scooters and e-bikes is stability as we get older our balance actually gets a little bit worse so for some the stability of a bike and the knowledge of a bike might be a little bit more familiar but if you’re a little bit more adventurous electric scooter is definitely the way to go you know sometimes it actually rains here and it gets winter so weather is a big factor and what i mean by that is that you know on an electric scooter you’ve got these tiny little mud guards or and that’s great but they’re really small tires so when you’re going around corners with small tires and a little bit of spray um it’s they’re not designed for that however this with great big mud guards on great big tire it’s much better for riding around wet weather it’s actually just much more comfortable as well either way it’s not fun you know being exposed to the weather but either way if it’s going to rain i’d rather be on an e-bike than an e-scooter and the other thing is the ip rating so that’s the rating that allows you know it measures the amount of dust and or water into the unit i find the e-bikes are just better suited for for rain and electric scooters they’ve got a little ways to come yet peacock break one of the biggest factors between electric scooters and electric bikes is weight here’s a scooter typical scooter it’s about 40 pounds maybe 35 pounds pretty easy for me to carry up and down some stairs here we go and this is about the same size or sorry same weight it’s probably around 45 50 pounds but it’s a lot more unwieldy to carry around up and down some stairs oh that’s a lot heavier michael and i were just setting up to do some filming and all of a sudden i saw jess fly past in her electric scooter and i yelled out for her to stop i just wanted to ask jess why did you choose an electric scooter instead of an e-bike thanks for the question as you can see my scooter is awesome and portable so for me living in an apartment in fairfield where we don’t have secure bike storage this was a much easier option for something that i can easily and safely take up to my apartment it comes in at about 30 pounds so i can still carry it up the stairs without it being a big production can you fold it up i can would you like me to do that on camera okay we’ll see if i’m more graceful than the last time so it’s um a two-part so you pull a pin you pull a lever and folds right down thanks so much for doing that jess much appreciated you’re so welcome thanks happy scooting what about transport subways buses that sort of thing well if you live in a city like victoria our buses actually have these [Music] a few moments later that goes up to hold the bike in place [Music] so i’ve never done this before but i got it right but if you’re with an e-scooter you don’t have to dismantle the the bike you don’t have to take the the battery off you don’t have to take the panniers off you just fold it up walk on the bus pay your fare sit down and just basically look after your scooter make sure it’s not gonna slide around roll around that’s one thing that we’re gonna be worried about thank you bus driver what about distance that’s one of the things you’re going to have with electric vehicles is something called range anxiety now range anxiety is that idea that you might not get there the nice thing with ebike is that you can actually pedal your way through it so if you do get stuck that last few months you know half mile or a kilometer or so you can actually pedal all the way through with the scooter you’re going to be pushing it typically electric scooters especially the commuter ones they have a smaller battery just so they can be nice and light and nimble but the e-bike these things that have typically larger batteries so you’re less likely to have to worry about range x-factor what’s the x-factor tim well one thing i’ve noticed about riding e-bikes i love them for the distance i love the fact that if i have to go a certain distance and i mean like about probably for so everybody’s a little different here but for me about 10 miles 16 kilometers i’m gonna pick the e-bike over the electric scooter i just find range anxiety comfort over that long period of time i prefer the e-bike but the x-factor the x-factor is that electric scooters are fun they’re ridiculously fun you ride around with a great big smile on your face and having a blast and on this beautiful day i’m going to take my cameraman michael here for a lovely lemonade and we’re just going to end it there but if you have any comments leave them down below [Music] happy scooting
