Yes, although I find that frequent little hills can confuse it and I often have to reset the cruise.

Thanks Kevin!

As they are so close otherwise, I would take the Apollo over the Segway for lower weight.

@@nurseabe how is Apollo's customer support/ service at the service center? I'm seeing many horror stories in the electric scooter reddit community. Thanks for your responses!

Apollo all the way...or the Segway Ninebot F2 Pro. Very similar motor, range and power. Segway G2 has gone down to 3.2 out of 5 stars with plenty of buyers complaining that the hydraulic suspension leaks oil. So don't be one of them stupid buyers getting the G2 Max without observing long-term reviews and trials first. Indiegogo products that are pre-ordered are typically rushed into production and thus, plenty come out defective and/or have manufacturing defects.

The steepest hill on my commute it drops from 32kph to 17kph. If your ride is very hilly it will require a bit of patience.

Deaths per million: Sweden - 1,849; Canada - 1,110; Finland - 893; Norway - 634. Only comparator countries that did worse were ones that let things go totally out of control after an initial response, like the US, UK, and Brazil.

Exactly, today this video sounds stupid and everything he said about coming restrictions were a big lie. It never happened, I know, because I've been in Stockholm since late 2020. What a joke this guy is, but what I feel disgusted with is his lies, straight to face of the people that might believe him.

Great question. With the luxury of time we can now see just how unnecessarily deadly Sweden's approach was compared to all other comparators: www.nature.com/articles/s41599-022-01097-5. The reports are now clear that they should have protected people particularly in the early days: abcnews.go.com/Health/scathing-evaluation-swedens-covid-response-reveals-failures-control/story?id=83644832. However, the positive side is that the King, elected governments, and public officials have at least now all apologized for these failures.

I was looking mostly at Segway alternatives, the other option was Niu. I just found with Apollo I got better stats for the same price.

The Segway Ninebot F2 Pro is the direct competitor to this one. Essentially similar motor power, suspension and weight.

I got my through pre-order in Canada so I suspect it's coming out everywhere right about now.

Thanks for the helpful tips, I'm still pretty new to this. I'll definitely check out the spray coating options.

Can you post a link to what one would spray onto the undercarriage?

So in our jurisdiction they aren't technically legal anywhere. There's a pilot project essentially allowing them but the provincial/state code does not include provisions making them legal either on the road or on sidewalks. I ride primarily road or multi use paths, if I have to go on the sidewalk due to traffic concerns I ride very safely, slowing if there are any pedestrians. It's not perfect, but I wouldn't envision being constrained just to roads or just to sidewalks.

Great question. Up a couple of steps on a bus shouldn't be much of a problem. Just note that the wide bars could be a frustration if you are usually on a packed bus or train. That might be more of an issue because the weight shouldn't matter for short carries.

Both Japan and Canada are way healthier than the U.S. but life expectancy between Japan and Canada is within two years, healthy average life expectancy within 3 years. Japan and Canada are two of the healthiest countries globally and only a little bit different.

You are correct. Some places require a bit more...ingenuity. I would just say that public land is better than private land.

It's of course a risk, and you've outlined well several of the factors that make it more or less of a risk. Any period of being unmasked is the highest risk. I think ultimately you have to make the choice yourselves as a family, and I'm hoping the info I provided can assist with that.

What's the setting, specifically?

What about truck drivers and farmers? Does the risk of covid justify marginalizing unvaccinated? What about barring them from grocery stores? Quebec is now requiring a vaccine passport to purchase alcohol; are you aware of this? A unvaccinated alcoholic may have natural immunity, follow the social distancing/masking, but may die from an enforced lack of alcohol. Abe, you run the risk of becoming a spokesman for this kind of authoritarianism as you appear to euphemistically express "hopefulness" that "encouraging" people works. I'm concerned that we're losing our way as a nation and our values are disappearing.

@@jonschmidt7591 You're claiming that farmers are being fired for not being vaccinated? Are you serious or just messing around?

@@nurseabe so interesting that you chose to only reply to the thing that made the least sense to you. There are conversations that need to be had, but culturally, we're avoiding them

Unfortunately my time is prioritized for supporting my own graduate students.

Up near Wyandot, it was about 120k for the first day. A bit long but there is a severe lack of good wild camping locations in the southwest.

Very Nice trip! Do you or Mr T could share the GPS routes? I'm planning to bike from Montreal to London at september.

Yes, that's a good question. We can definitely do that as well, the only note being that because countries track this in somewhat different ways, there can be a larger margin of error. Essentially, the outcome is the same here, in terms of excess deaths per 100,000 people you get: Sweden - 112; Canada - 41; Denmark - 38; Norway - 15 (www.economist.com/graphic-detail/coronavirus-excess-deaths-tracker).

@@nurseabe Would also be interesting to compare number of suicides and lost "man years" with/without lockdown.

Recent WHO report confirms that the excessive death toll puts swedish strategy to not be such a big failiure. Sweden is the 7 th best among whole europe (44 countries). As a swede I can agree that some earlier measures and particularly harder restrictions regarding elderly care homes would have saved some lives. Those 6 countries that did better include in majority only smaller countries with less population and density of the habitants, like Norway and Finland. All in all those countries only generally have about half the excessive death toll comoared to sweden. I as a swede am really proud that our lives, and social health, economy, younger children not forced away from school locking parents to stay home from work and so many other benefits with mental desease, home abuse etc largely with more long term effects that is not "visible" but yet also to consider. Also really high numbers accounted for in sweden as "death with covid" (with other sickness already with death around the corner) comparing to "death by covid". Also among death with/by covid is hugely high amount of really old people from ages 80-100. I wonder how figures compare in lower ages for example ages 50/60-80. Thank you for a really good vídeo and IMO great summary and many correct facts that are easy to agree upon, so do I.!!! My opinion is only that there are so many more factors to wage in to not categorize swedish strategy as such a failiure comparing to other countries, one could also debate considering many other factors that swedish strategy could come out on top. But i do agree that some lives could have been saved with some smaller earlier actions but still in general I consider the swedish strategy correct just as it was. Becsuse of general criticism just as in your video an independent commission on what good/bad decisions was carried out by swedish authoroties that also came to this conclusion more or less. Regards, André

I'm trying to puzzle out the point you are making? Deaths from other causes went down in most developed nations during the pandemic due primarily in declines from accidents/injuries as travel decreased. Where countries have differed is in deaths related to COVID-19, primarily based on variations in public health approaches. My point here is that Sweden saw unnecessarily high rates of COVID-19 deaths due to insufficient public health restrictions.

Great question. Norway took a much harder lockdown approach than Sweden, quite similar to Canada where I'm from. So closing schools, sports, non-essential businesses, etc. They also discouraged travel, required quarantines, and closed borders for a period of time. The lifted these restrictions more slowly, not reopening until Sept 25th (and even then with some light restrictions still in place).

@@nurseabe No this is wrong. Norway is a much less densely populated country. As introductory text no doubt teach, rate of spread tends to be related to population density. There of course are other factors, but final deaths tolls will probably be dependent upon age and general health or the populations in question. As I type this I see that the current daily death in Norway is 1.12 per million. Sweden is 0.35 per million. So about 3X worse. As to whether or not Norway will catch up, maybe, maybe not

@@jerryray9988 Norway will literally never catch Sweden for deaths, look at the cumulative curves: imgur.com/gallery/50lvt7b

@@nurseabe Yes, it looks like Norway will never catch Sweden. Of course if one only looked at the first winter in Germany it appeared it would never catch Sweden. Now it looks more like a horse race. FYI, thanks for the link above. Have you looked at ourworldindata. FYI, Germany now has a death rate literally 10X of Sweden. Also Sweden seems to be staying very flat this winder. Western Europe is up a little but Eastern Europe seems to be extremely bad. This distinction between East and West is usually overlooked in new reports and is very misleading.
