Buy it. Saving $18 a working day pays it off in about three months. Check the local road rules first.

Did exactly this 2 years ago. Saved a fortune and I actually enjoy the commute now.

Scooter's fine, but an e-bike handles bumps better and carries a bag better.

Check your state's rules first. Some places still don't allow them on footpaths and the fines are steep.

What's your plan for rain? It rains a lot more than you think when you're on a scooter.

$18 x 230 workdays = $4,140 a year. Pays off in 3 months. Easy.
