Stand up scooters don't carry cargo or children and rain or snow instantly remove them from the equation.

Electric cabin scooters with removable batteries cover way more what cars offer today in an urban environment. Something like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabin_motorcycle or that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_rickshaw

No form of transport covers literally all cases, it doesn’t make it useless. For the majority of office commuters, not having to pay for parking and being able to reach public transport which would otherwise be too far is a huge plus.

Funny cause that is exactly what people buy cars for. Which is what we need a good replacement for. E-Scooters are fine but not what will get rid of heavy cars.

Well a car does not work for my use case where I have no place available to park it and need to take trips of mostly around 2km where there is also no parking. There is currently no transport method faster than an ebike/scooter for the trips I take.
