Great find! Thanks. Might need to lean towards the bike
Pot hole comes up. Which one are you going to wish your on.
Ones a death trap the others a risk
And unless you're blind or visually impaired, one can easily avoid the pothole completely…
I hit a pothole as a kid, bike stopped, I went over handlebars, landed chin first and wound up with stitches and a concussion.
Scooter I would have been closer to the ground than my mountain bike, probably less damage.
Scooter has smaller wheels and have more issues with smaller potholes that a bicycle wheel could roll through.
Thinking of getting the scooter as more of a get for 50 days to see if a electric scooter fits my use case and then return it to aldi and buy a good one.
the scooter looks like M365 Pro knock off; Probably poor quality, but Aldi has a 60day return policy and good warranty where you can return the item 2 years later…
Ask Dick Smith, he keeps ranting about the missing free fruits there!
Likely the same quality as any other cheap eBay/Kogan/aliexpress product. But at least Aldi has a brick and mortar presence for warranty.
Make sure you are fully aware of the local rules for scooters. Getting stung for unlicensed, unregistered would take a bit of fun out of it.
E-bike is a hub motor so you won’t get the extra benefit of hearing helping the motor uphill.
Good points. The middrive that I like is one someone shared on here once - the lekker amsterdam GT or something like that which Ive test cycled and is amazing. But also 4k is soooooo much.
$1K for that eBike with only a 7.5Ah battery is pretty steep when we’ve been able to get the Valk MX7 for under $900
Where are you seeing valk mx7 for 900
Not at present, but the eBay Plus coupons have given that deal relatively often in the recent past. At least under $1K
Anyone who got it, the app you need is kcq scooter not skywalker like the manual says
The Skywalker Scooter app is functional, but it's no longer available on Google Play. As a result, I downloaded the *.apk file from a random dodgy website. Despite this, the app has been functioning properly. However, I appreciate your suggestion and will give the alternative KCQ Scooter app a try.

Reviews of the brand aren’t promising .
Price is suspiciously low for what it promises imo.
