Recently drove in Scotland where built up areas generally have 20mph speed limits. I found It made little difference in overall journey time Felt safer, stopping distance much reduced Easier to join the traffic Similar speed as cyclists Felt safer and more relaxed as a pedestrian, easier to cross the road

        Yeah, talking about the much more common types you see people using more often in cities. Also why I didn’t say 25% faster than the highest end ones

        They’re amazing it’s a shame all forms of electric scooter or electric powered vehicle outside of cars and motorbikes are illegal here.
