Car vs Electric Scooter: Which is Faster for Daily Commuting?

Описание: Cars dominate the road, but in today’s gridlock-heavy cities, are they really the fastest way to commute? In this side-by-side test, we put a powerful 40 mph electric scooter (the DRIDER) against a typical car. Spoiler: the results may change how you think about commuting.

We also showcase how the legendary zero 10X scooter-style performance stacks up in 2025. Whether you’re stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic or looking for a smarter way to travel, this comparison breaks it down.
