Toward a better commute

Segway Ninebot E45 Kick scooter

We just moved our Food52 headquarters to the Brooklyn Navy Yard and I needed an efficient way to get there. I’ve walked. I’ve taken the Navy Yard shuttle. I’ve also tried Citi Bike, thinking that if I liked it, I’d get an e-bike. But the Citi Bike e-bike was heavy and clunky and felt like something I’d grow to dread dealing with. An e-scooter is the happy medium. The Ninebot E45 Kick is a reasonable heft (36 pounds) and folds up easily so I can bring it into my building at night. –Amanda Hesser
