Been planning to get a Onewheel and an e-Scooter mostly for leisurely rides in and around KL. But now with the new regulations banning them on roads where do you guys even ride them at? Parks and gardens seem to be the best place but you'd be riding them on pedestrian walkways and it feels dangerous riding next to people especially on narrower pathways. Really, really interested but I wonder if it'll be a waste of money after getting them. Ride few times, realise it's too troublesome, then put aside after

I've sold mine before pandemic. It's just not worth the hassle with the law and safety wise.
May only re-visit the idea of e-scooting once we have proper laws and infra in place.

I've moved to cycling for commute.

That's sad to hear man.
Maybe that's why we can hardly see anyone riding them anymore.
Would definitely be nicer if there are more people riding them normalising it but the government and local councils will have to improve on lots of laws and infrastructure before that become a reality

Just when I thought about getting a e-scooter, I come across this thread. Reading the comments, it seems like not worth to buy it with all these restrictions...

QUOTE(chinti @ Mar 22 2019, 05:29 PM) get one wit powerful motor, search for ultron escooter(china brand) or if u hv more budget can get korea brand dualtron, its popular among sg escooter riders. can order from taobao or buy directly from sg and ask the shop to remove the speed limiter coz sg law max speed is 25kmh only. reason y u need powerful motor is so u can go uphill easily. This ... ultron is the way to go. More torque, higher mileage, bigger wheels and most importantly, full sus. Tread off ... damn heavy.
