My wife wants to buy an electric scooter, but I'm worried about the safety and durability of these things.

Electric scooters are a relatively new invention, so there isn't much data on them yet. But they seem like a good idea for short trips around town. They're more energy-efficient than cars, which is great for the environment. And they're cheaper than gas or car ownership, which can be a big deal for people with limited income.
