If you’ve lived or visited NY you’ll know how unreliable the subway system can be. I prefer to be able to travel on my own schedule and it’s honestly pretty easy with all the new bike lanes but it can be scary at first. Unfortunately there’s so standard and the market is flooded with cheap products that barely work which I’ve had used before. I know there’s a lot of fear around electric vehicles and fires but they’re mostly caused by cheap 3rd party batteries and mishandling of the personal electric vehicles (PEVs). I’ve had multiple in my room for years and there has never been a problem other than the standard maintenance of the PEVs. Gotta remember all the ones I’ve tested so I’ll be adding to this list.
