Ebike can run on the bike lanes. Not so with a scooter.
Ebike is more nimble.
Ebike can go places scooters can't.
Scooters are harder to steal.
Scooters are more comfortable.
Scooters has lights, horn, fancy stuff.

I went Ebike, because it is cheaper and can take it inside my work building and charge the sucker up. I also don't have to worry about finding a parking spot in between all the motor cycles. I don't have to stay behind cars. I can pass them on the side and scoot to the front. Now if I lived somewhere else and work was a bit further, than a E-Scooter would've fit the bill.

Time for Monster Mike to make a Monster Ebike conversion for outrunner motors.
The scooter that I am thinking about is considered a bicycle by the ministry of transport simply because it has bike pedals on it. The pedals are useless, they are just there so that it is considered a bicycle so there's no need for a motorcycle license or insurance and yes you can ride in the bike lanes. For me and what I plan to do with it, I think it will fit the bill better than an E-Bike.


No brain, no headaches.
