Just because it has two wheels,カリギュラ ポルノ映画 an electric motor, and a battery doesn't mean you can call it a scooter.
SAE International, the engineering association that sets standards for autonomous vehicles, announced its first classification system for "powered micromobility vehicles," otherwise known as e-scooters and other small electric vehicles, on Thursday.
These new terms are here because the term "scooter" was applied to anything and everything. Human-powered and battery-free scooters are called scooters (like old-school Razors). Small mopeds and some lightweight motorcycles are called scooters (like Vespas and Scoot vehicles). And then scooter-share companies like Bird, Lime, and others call their electric vehicles "scooters," too. It's so confusing.
