ZWINGS - Sunderland’s new scooters…


I’ve got a car so no use for a scooter. I’d rather get a taxi if out on the drink, go on my bike or walk / run than use a scooter. For lazy fat kids.

I agree they may be of use to some but not me.
Doesn't matter, just love the fact that a new thing has appeared, someone has started a thread about it, and the first reply is calling it pointless and shit. :lol::lol:
 
Im too scared to get on one of these things. Knowing my luck I'll end up in a Some Mother's Do 'Ave Em style stunt display.
They are scary. I fell off in the middle of the road and went straight into the pub wall because I forgot how to stop 😂

Aye, I can just imagine turning it on and the bastard flying up into the air or something. Ha no doubt I'd go arse over teakettle into an on coming crowd. Someone would make £250 from Beadle

I can remember you asking me for a referral code to get from yours to corned beef island.
 
I like the idea of them but I use a car when sober and a taxi when drunk. I like both states but when drunk I prefer to do the job properly and would be incapable of operating any sort of motorised device competently.

This leads me to think they are operated by lightweights who want a nice shandy followed by a hilarious "drunken" scoot along the beach. I prefer a warm Mercedes and some Barry White as we are wafted home rather than a 30 mph northerly gale into the wind past the Roker Hotel.
 
Probably won’t use. Seem pointless.
Id say the future will be electric cars you don't own and can jump in pretty much anywhere and leave the same as and when you need transport.
So these are well ahead of the curve
I'll never use one due to having other transport but they're hardly pointless
Because they're heavily regulated and users need to register their driving licence in the app before using.

Private escooters are illegal to use on public roads and paths.
Everyone just sees some knacker doing 30mph in their head . I see normal people commuting on . Some are clearly private but I hope the cops use common sense if it's a young lad trying to get to work . Not all work locations are bus friendly . Open to abuse just like Vauxhall corsas are .

Still for lazy people.
