I was on a similar situation a few months ago, I live exactly 1km from my work place so I usually walk and the way to the shop is almost downhill but its not too steep, for me to get an electric scooter meant spending on one with lot of power to get over that hill going back home so decided it was best to keep the cardio going so I went with a bike, in 5 years Ill be 40 so better keep my legs strong, we do have a car though but the traffic is awful in the morning, be careful with the electric scooter at first, they do pack some punch that can caught you out of balance, stay safe ✌️
