Personal Transport?

NaturePhotog asks: "IT clearly isn't "it", at least as far as personal transport goes--price and weight rule that out. I live in the SF Bay Area, and while regional transport such as BART is pretty good, there are a lot of gaps and annoyances in local transport. I'm looking for something like the RAD2GO E10 or Zappy to help fill those gaps. It doesn't need to be fast, but it needs to fold and be light enough to carry on BART, be able to handle some hills, and ideally have a range of about 10-15 miles on a charge. There are hundreds of electric scooters and dozens of sites, so figuring out what would be best is difficult to say the least. Any in the Slashdot crowd have experiences (good or bad) with something like this? Or suggestions for other alternatives?"

try a skateboard, im serious

If you are staying within SF, try a skateboard. Im not talking about the kind of skateboard you see people doing tricks on, im talking about one meant for going places. During commute hours, i can get places faster on my skateboard than i can on muni. As for distance, i skate 60 blocks all the time, no problem. You can take a skate board on every public transit system.
If you're looking for a good place to buy a skateboard for transit, try purple skunk at 23rd and geary.
