Because of the cold wind. Snow is one thing, but the cold wind blowing at you is something people won't be comfortable facing while on a scooter.

But yeah, 40F-60F's is completely okay for a shorter scooter rides I guess.



I've gone for runs in -30 weather, its not that bad if you cover up your skin.

40-60F is short sleeve/shorts weather around here for me. Around freezing is when it starts getting fun to run.

Yes I'm an abberation but I didn't start out this way.


You do realize that 99% of people feel cold in 40F. Think about the majority of population. Most of them don’t run and just want to do their business by using scooter


> You do realize that 99% of people feel cold in 40F.

Yes, I addressed that in my last sentence. You presume I don't feel the cold, I do, I've just learnt how to tolerate it. Buddhist monks can dry wet towels in -40 weather. The human body is rather more tolerant of cold than you might think.

Also, source on 99%?

It’s not for a majority of people


It’s -24f on Mount Everest today.
