Let\u2019s address the elephant in the room…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This website is called Discerning Cyclist<\/em>. So why on earth am I writing a review about an electric scooter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They might both have two wheels \u2013 but no-one confuses a scooter with a bicycle do they?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that is absolutely true. But when I started this website in 2012<\/a>, I don\u2019t think I\u2019d even heard of an e-scooter. I just wanted an efficient way to get to work that wasn\u2019t in a metal box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe if I\u2019d started this website in 2022, I\u2019d have called it Discerning Commuter<\/em> instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually, no I wouldn\u2019t. Bicycles still rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how does an electric scooter stack up as a commuter tool? And, specifically, how does the powerhouse Varla Eagle One Dual Motor Electric Scooter<\/a> fare?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
