Scooter Styled Electric Bike vs Bike Styled Ebike
			I borrowed a scooter-style ebike for several days and discovered that they had distinct advantages for Vancouver's wet roads. This is just a short comment about them, not a complete review. With the Motorino XP's fork and brake locks and a rain cape, I was surprisingly dry when riding. The built-in fork and brake locks allowed me to just jump off the bike and do my errand, and get back on, without having to look for bike racks to lock the scooter on. Efficient. With the wide scooter tires on the Motorino XP, I did not skid on wet leaves, as I would have done, had I been on a bicycle. However, I got a flat tire, and I am of the view that this scooter's tires are too prone to get flat tires. I've also written my views as a "review" of the Motorino XP scooter. Here it is, click here. For comparison, here is a different electric bike from another Vancouver dealer, Motor Sport Craze in Burrard Street. Whatever type of e-cycle, I would ask that retailers find a way to make them flat-proof, perhaps with airless (foam) tubes, thorn-proof tubes, or the green goop that goes into the tube. I got too many flats with these electric scooters, which was a terrible waste of time!
