We talk a lot about enshittification of technology, so tell me about technology that is getting better!

I personally love the progress of electric scooters. I've been zooming around on a 400$ escooter for a year and it works so well. It has a range of around 20 miles and top speed of 15 mph, so it works just super well for my uses, and 10 years ago scooters with that range/speed/price were no where near a thing.

Its kinda fun locally because drivers just have no clue what to do around bicycles and just stay way the heck away and avoid passing, so I just bike a bit more aggressively, owning the lane when I need to and whatnot because that's the best way to make sure drivers have any clue what to do and keeps us both out of eachother's way
