Few words have more power and baggage than story. It describes everything from novels, movies, and TV shows to news reports, histories, and podcasts.

Do you want a scooter that, at reasonably fast speeds, actually feels safe to ride? If youre like me, you should expect less than the quoted range -but more on this later. One of the first things that struck me about the Mantis is its build....

E-scooters have a bit of a bad rep. Im grateful to the tech gods that dockless e-scooters have not been allowed in NYC. This public perception is a shame, because personal scooters are a different story. They allow you to get from A to B in a compact package. And they come in all sorts of sizes and performance levels to suit the needs of various users. TheUnagi Model Onesets out to be a scooter youre proud to own....
