I ride a kick scooter to work (cheap Razor A5). I do wish I had an electric scooter, but my commute is so incredibly short as is (half a mile) that it's an unnecessary luxury for an already brief journey.
Where do you ride it? IMO these don't really fit anywhere (at least in the current built environment in U.S. cities). Too slow for the roads and a nuisance on the sidewalks.
Not OP, but it could be a sweat issue. For me a half mile is plenty far, especially in direct sunlight and/or if I’m wearing a backpack, to work up a sweat walking at just a leisurely pace. If I had to hurry, I’d be visibly sweaty by the time I got to my office.
