We bought the Pedego Stretch to get out son to school (he's five and we live in the city) and it is clearly a much better choice than an electric scooter. We love our Pedego! It's slick, sturdy and such a fun ride. I never worry about taking a corner (unlike when we had our son in a rear bike seat on our regular bike) And we get so much attention when we're on it. We've kitted it out with a phone holder so we can listen to music on our journeys. I wrote a post on my blog and will be doing a follow up soon. http://www.momparadigm.com/2015/07/commuting-to-school-in-the-fall-electric-scooter-or-e-bike/
