Quiet, fast, portable: E-scooters are all the rage. But are they also robust and easy to fold?
E-scooters have been permitted on German roads since July. But are they also suitable for running errands in the harbour? The test, now available as a PDF download

The folding bike has competition. Modern e-scooters have been eligible for registration in Germany for a few weeks now. We therefore ordered and compared seven models. How does the folding work? How fast are they? Do they have the required road licence?

You can find answers to these questions and more in the test report published in YACHT, issue 19/2019. The magazine is available in the DK shop, or you can download the report via the link below.
