I used a push scooter in Munich in combination with buses and trains. It was fine for short distances of like ~1.5km or less, going to/from transit stations, but past that distance it just gets fucking annoying. Standing up on a push scooter and constant pushing with your feet just isn't as comfortable as sitting down and pedaling.

Also, the non-inflated rubber wheels I had on the thing were very uncomfortable (and loud) on cobblestone-type roads. Almost infeasible to use, really. But otherwise it was a pretty convenient thing to have.



Fair enough, but from the looks of that bike it doesn't really look like it'd be comfortable much more than a few kilometers either.

There are push scooters with inflatable tires (I've seen them here in the US) but not sure how much that affects the weight and portability.


Regarding distances with Kwiggle please take a look here:

Ok, 300km/d is not for all people, but it show the possibilies.
