I have quite often seen people whizzing around Newcastle on the orange Neuron e-scooters, and before I first stepped foot on one myself, I felt like they could grow to become an essential part of the city's public transport system - especially as they have now been extended until 2024.
The idea of a short distance ride to cut down the travel time between the bus stop and the office for example, is one that massively appeals to me. It's environmentally friendly and just a few pounds too, making it quite affordable as a means of convenience.
I was eager to see if my opinion would change after I had used one for the first time. I don't have great balance, and my only experience of scooters before this was my Super-Man themed Razor scooter that sparks would come out of the back of.
