Search Results: use of a vacation

I have $340 saved up and left on a visa giftcard that I got last year. I want an electric kick scooter like the ones you can rent and ride in big cities. I would be using this around my neighborhood and when we go on vacations instead of renting a scooter. I could also use this at walking trails etc.

Someone is selling a - (multiple sellers not just one)

New Bird ES1-300 scooter for $250 plus $20 shipping. New in box and never opened. It’s a Segway brand scooter under the name bird. It’s a few years old. Segway scooters rarely break down, I heard.
One pro is it comes with solid tires instead of air filled. But a con would be you can’t fold it. So to take it anywhere, we would have to try and fit it in the trunk of the car somehow. You also have to figure out how to assemble it out of the box. The seller only ships out on thursdays though.

New Gotrax GXL v2 for $235 with free shipping. This is a new 2020 edition scooter. A con would be air filled tires so I would have to buy a spare incase they pop. I would also have to figure out how to put the tires on. But a pro would be the scooter folds so you can easily take it anywhere. It comes mostly assembled from the box. But it has problems with the back breaks, I heard.

A used Segway ninebot es2 for $290 with $30 shipping. $320 total. It looks ok. From a scooter share company. It’s a bit dirty looking from the pics. They say it runs great. It’s been used a lot and they are going out of business so they need to get rid of it. It’s not under warranty anymore. They said if we want it refurbished to a like new condition it will be an extra $450. So I would have to get it the way it is.

Xpirit electric scooter new in box - $280 with $45 shipping. Con is This one has air filled tires too. I think this brand has problems with their scooters, but I’m not sure. The scooter doesn’t fold either. You have to assemble it out of box. Not a Segway brand scooter.

I'm going away (yes I know, this virus & all but the away spot is family cabin on the lake. Being remote it's like the best place to be right now) by Tuesday for 14 days. It was my vacation & like said no point in rescheduling it anyway.

Anyway, I am going to be with family/friends and that means my real accent (European) is going to become quite strong. To the point, some people not used to it/the regional slang may not understand me. I usually curb it when talking with colleagues/people I don't know because, as a child, growing up in a teeny town my accent got me teased a lot.

I know when I get back to work (if I go straight back) that strengthened accent is gonna stick around for a few days (maybe a week). It just does. Like when it becomes strong if I'm angry.

My colleagues have never heard my actual accent before. So... am curious if they'd think I'm some sort of a twit putting it on.
