I've generally been in the same mindset, just thinking at the moment extra risks are:

The popo "proving a point" by doing people even though they're about to be legalised, to drive home the "legal soon does not mean legal now" point

Them probably being at a bit of a loose end with so little going on in the country at the moment

I'd say in general the vibration isn't a huge issue just don't do dumb things like I did with vertical positioning of packaged breaded products! And there may be more "robust" scooters out there than the usual m365 or whatever. Also some have a suspension ;)

The one I use isn't particularly easy to secure - I just dump it in the trolley

Just read the review in The Guardian - they seem ace! Likened to how it feels when you walk along a travelator

Expensive though

Agreed, I think a couple of my dogs would love me to have a pair of these.

Yes, expensive, but then so is an electric bike and it keeps you off the roads (I just wouldn't cycle round here, I'd die). Like anything, get enough use and it's worth it.
