Russian assault troops have returned to the practice of using electric scooters on the front lines in the Donetsk region.
The Telegram channel Officer reported on this and published a related video.
The movement of the Russian invaders on electric scooters was noticed in the Pokrovsk sector.
This is likely related to the onset of more favorable weather conditions. Due to the warm weather, the ground on field roads and rugged terrain dries faster, allowing the occupiers to move using this type of transport.
OSINT researcher imi (m) @moklasen on X discovered that the movement of Russians on electric scooters was recorded in the village of Novovasylivka.
In the video, one of the three invaders who appeared in the frame lost control and fell.
“It is clear how the last rider skidded while turning, couldn’t hold the handlebars, and fell, which indicates an insufficient number of training hours at the training ground,” the statement stated.
The use of electric scooters by Russian assault troops was also recorded in March in the Kursk region. Meanwhile, they were attacked by Ukrainian FPV drones.

In December, the 12th Azov Special Operations Brigade released a video showing how the Russians carried out failed assault operations using armored vehicles, motor transport, and infantry on electric scooters.
The invasion forces tried to advance in the Toretsk sector at that time.
Previously, infantrymen of the 53rd and 93rd Brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the support of drones from the 28th Mechanized Brigade, destroyed a group of Russian soldiers in Toretsk.

Thanks to the joint efforts of defenders from different units, another attempt by Russians to enter and gain a foothold in the industrial zone on the outskirts of the city failed.
Looks like Putler doesn’t have the cards … but he does have the electric scooters.
As long as the batteries last. I doubt too many ever get recharged.
It will be interesting to see the ranking given to the e-bike army once the new rankings are available. If it is lower than 50th place, there is something drastically wrong with their methodology.
Ever since they still had the mafia army in second place, after it got itself decimated in Ukraine, I don’t trust it anymore.
