What's a piece of technology you LOVE the progress of? (lemmy.world)

We talk a lot about enshittification of technology, so tell me about technology that is getting better!

I personally love the progress of electric scooters. I've been zooming around on a 400$ escooter for a year and it works so well. It has a range of around 20 miles and top speed of 15 mph, so it works just super well for my uses, and 10 years ago scooters with that range/speed/price were no where near a thing.

Do you use the escooter on sidewalks? What are the laws on that where you are?

Oh to answer your question: ebikes, pedal assist electric bikes. I think they really have the ability to change transportation.

I love my e-trike.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Why'd you go with the trike?

[–] ellabee@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

not the guy you asked, but I just got a trike.

I have balance issues so I've never been able to balance a regular bike.
carrying capacity with a basket.

there are definitely options to address the carry capacity with a bike, but I haven't seen anything to assist with balance.
