A Florida man is finally being brought to justice after cutting hundreds of brake lines on shared electric scooters.
There comes a time in every man’s life where he looks in the mirror and asks himself if he’s on the right path — if he’s headed in the right direction. That moment came to me recently, but in a slightly different form. It was the reflection of myself in my motorcycle helmet visor as I zoomed down the road on a 50 MPH (80 km/h) USAMinimotors Dualtron Thunder electric scooter.
Yes, a 50 MPH standing electric scooter.

When you think of scooters, you think of Razor. That nostalgia is hardwired into my brain from childhood. Hitting jumps. Carving corners. Smacking my ankle on that freakin’ aluminum deck each time it would spin around. Oh, the good ol’ days.
But what you might not realize is that the Razor of yesteryear is still a potent force in today’s massive electric scooter market. I’ve been riding around on their latest Razor E-XR electric scooter and have been surprised by how powerful and robust this thing is.
