I tried a forward-facing e-scooter, and it really is the future of micro-commuting

Pure Advance Flex electric scooter

One of the best things about electric scooters is that they're much easier to store than most regular bikes. I should know, as I've seen both sides of the coin in recent years. While both modes of transport are great for short hops and even longer school run-type commutes, they can be challenging when it comes to storage.

That's why my recent encounter with the rather good Pure Advance Flex e-scooter convinced me that one of these dinky two-wheelers is a realistic option for daily journeys where they're allowed, such as in most parts of Europe, the US, etc. The coolest thing about the Advance Flex is the unique riding position: you look forward, which feels more natural than what you do on standard scooters (electric or otherwise).
