Electric moped sharing (or “seated electric scooter” sharing) seems to be the natural evolution to standing electric scooter sharing programs like those from Lime and Bird.

They say not to judge a book by its cover, and the E-Twow GT from Ewheels taught me that the same is true for electric scooters. It may look like a small run-of-the-mill electric scooter, but don’t be fooled.
