That's why I said compared to their speed. I don't know any brands or example models, all of them are obnoxiously loud and driven by simple minded fools imho. Cars make relatively little noise, and newborns and trees do not belong in this comparison in my opinion.
Edit: tried to find a picture, seems these are not universally called scooters even though they are where I live. I mean models like this: https://www.scooterforyou.nl/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/34_G7_99_KISBEESPORTLINE-1.jpg
Oh I see, about those, I can agree that they are relatively loud. I was thinking about the "rolling metal posts" at first.
Sorry for being rude
No worries, it appears that most of the world uses the word "scooter" differently than we do in the Netherlands :-) with your definition of scooter I agree that my statement was ridiculous haha.
Yeah, I think many people thought you were talking about those electric scooters, which are, well pretty damn silent and good to make cities less car focused (like in the US). I mean things like this.
Yeah it's my bad as apparently most of the world uses the word differently :-) I'm a big fan of electric vehicles, both the noise and pollution are reduced which is great!
