I've bought myself an electric scooter

Yes, I have. Because 1) riding a bike hasn't been an option for quite a while due to my knees, 2) walking to spotting locations takes too long, and 3) new toy!

I've opted for the cheapest electric scooter I could find on Amazon: Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Lite 2nd Gen. They had it on offer, the reviews were positive, and Xiaomi is a reputable brand.

The scooter is well made, and it takes no time to get it ready and activated. Unfortunately, activating the scooter requires installing the Xiaomi Home app and creating an account, but at least it's a quick and straightforward process.

Although the scooter is not the lightest one, it stays balanced in the hand when folded, which makes it somewhat easier to carry. Its theoretical range is 25km, which is not a lot, but it should be enough according to my equally theoretical calculations.

Now, I'm just waiting for an insurance sticker to arrive, so I can take the scooter for a proper ride.
