Fr, if the British gov stopped arresting every one who rides an electric scooter then the bus might actually be an attractive option

    Well I mean Ireland doesn't arrest electric scooters but you can't bring them into transport because, ahem, batteries can explode.

    I mean from engineering perspective batteries in the board part do get damaged when you damage the board by hitting the floor, and they have increased chances to catch fire when your charge them. And when they do, they fucking destroy everything around. You can't really stop it either.

    Key point: when you charge them. There is no reason to assume that would happen in tram or something.
