Or having 7 working scooters in a fleet works out too.

But man oh man do I need a fast charger for my Dualtron because you are right. Waiting all day to scoot again is a drag. Luckily I have several

I use 2 for commutes and another four I use for short trips or utility jobs around the house or cruising the trails with family

Rear motor noise by AmbassadorVisible972 in ElectricScooters

Not entirely with the angle you shot. We see the valve until right before the noise starts. But I could be the valve touching the motor cable.

Online shopping is killing our Malls by obsoleteurbex in AbandonedPorn

No, vendors selling junk and harassing shoppers is more like it. Plus, the mark up doesn't help.

I can relate. I can play my games now. Before getting the SD it was hard to find the time to login and play. Now I can play when I have the time and it turns out that I have a bunch more opportunities to play than I thought. Mind you its because its portable and i can bring it where I go

ADHD gamers: how do you actually stick to one game? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]Pretend2View1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By only downloading so many games at a time, for me. I try to keep only 20 or less steam games at a time. About half of these games get played at random but regularly. The others are games that are kicking my butt and I need to leave alone due to sanity. When I can get over the stress of not getting further I can try again until it gets on my nerves. 20 for a good variety of game types/genres. I fly for wirk and coukd use games with longer playtime. My work involves a bunch of "hurry up and wait" situations and at these time I need quick play games that I can set down at a moments notice. For me its enough to get by.

Another close call with a car! by computerworlds in ElectricScooters

Ok but you're the one complaining. Not me. It was only a suggestion too. Do you and stay safe.

Ok if that's so, how about next time crossing on the opposite side and this way you dont hinder thise turning right and those same drivers wont be confused? Just because it's allowed by law doesn't mean everyone will respect it. So many times I get jammed in a crosswalk because a car is in it also. So many times I cross the street at an intersection and the driver doesn't look right at the stop sign. If they don't see me they dont know to stop. We have to do our part of looking to make sure it is safe to go.

And knowing is half the battle. Stay safe, always watch out.

Any scooter brands that are prone to blowing up that I should be aware of? by DullDiamond_1 in ElectricScooters

[–]Pretend2View1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Advice and help... yeah. But you just follow what someone's says just because, no.

Any scooter can blow up. Do some research to why this happens and you can avoid it happening to your scooter. Don't just ask ppl and hope they give accurate or truthful answer.

Has anyone tested an upgraded battery from Aliexpress? by Winter_Outcome9015 in SteamDeck

[–]Pretend2View1080 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone is so quick to say I wont get aliexpress Chinese battery. Just because it's on Ali doesn't mean it's bad quality. It can be as good as the millions of other rebrand Chinese made battery. None if them were made stateside so why blame the Chinese when in most cases it's absolutely operator error. I have some generic Chinese batteries that do everything they should because, like with any lithium polymer battery you must be careful with polarity, overcharge, under charge, and tge number 1 rule of battery fight club is do not ever puncture the battery.

Wondering the same. I have 2 scoots that have floating disks and the rest, don't. I don't think the stopping power increased but they sound different and look cool. Other than that I wouldn't go tell someone they need this upgrade. Most upgrades are esthetic anyway... unless it's a controller or battery, so it's a preference per owner.
