Ray is a babysitter now uwu

Assessment weeks are coming right up and it’s making me kind of anxious. I don’t have much time left after preparing exams, correcting them, meetings and every other detail that is involved in this process. I may take some time off blogging, but before that I want to share with you my loyal commuting companion! This scooter, the ONE NL 205 DELUXE made by Globber, is a 1 sec fold up scooter for adults that I got just a few days before being transferred (like it was meant to be!) and that deserves its own little space at the blog.

I am used to walk literally everywhere as everything is at walking distance where I live. There are a couple of reasons for this, the most important ones being environmental reasons and health benefits. However, I wanted to try a scooter as I had seen many people enjoy them around town. This is where Globber came into the spotlight. This model was particularly attractive to me because of its safety specs, including handbrake & bell with a high-reflective pole design. Also, its foldability was a great feature as there are some stairs in my usual routes. And I am not disappointed!

This scooter is easy to ride, adjustable to height, and very stable. From the first ride I was in love with the EVA padding, which is very grippy and kind of cushiony, blending in one material safety and comfort. The two clamps (one to secure the scooter in its folded and normal positions and another to disengage the handles) are secure but easy to open and close with little effort. I have found the self-standing mode really useful when commuting. Because of the sloppy nature of my hometown, the double braking system is probably the feature I would like to highlight the most. Though most of the times the rear brake was enough, it was always nice to have the second brake at hand - literally. And the cobalt blue colour is oh so pretty!

Now that I spend my weekdays at a coastal town, the ONE NL 205 is getting even more work done. I like how I can alternate between walking and scooting to put different muscle groups in motion. I particularly love to ride it along the smooth surface of the seafront promenade. I must admit the experience is much more enjoyable on flat surfaces like the promenade than it is on bumpy or very sloppy ones (for obvious reasons).
