I have been riding my Xiaomi M365 electric scooter since the beginning of summer and have become a big fan of it. It is an amazing mobility device that lets me move through Brussels and Paris and choose the most optimal routing depending on time of the day and traffic conditions. In early mornings when public transport frequency is low and also during rush hour when it is impossible to get into a metro it is nice to be able to avoid public transport.
I had never thought to calculate how much it actually costs to ride it. I knew it is cheap and never gave it more thought. People from Wired actually did the calculations and the results are surprising.
This is how my e-scooter puts money in my pocket every day…
