Har været clean siden 2018, og det vælter ind med beskeder fra pushere.

Listen med blokerede numre er uendelig lang, tør ikke skifte nummer, hvis jeg en dag mister adgang til et eller andet, så er mit telefon nummer mit eneste backup. Det er altså ret træls, vi taler flere 100 blokerede numre, og de finder stadig vej ind i min indbakke. Får også coke beskeder, og har aldrig købt kokain.

It is genuinely mind-blowing how the Danish government manages to punish people for choosing the most logical, resource-light form of transportation available. If you want a modern maxi-scooter like the Yamaha XMAX 300 in 2026, you’re looking at a sticker price of roughly 80,000 DKK (€10,700). For context, in almost any other country, that’s mid-sized motorcycle money, but here, nearly half of that goes straight into the state’s pockets.

The math is honestly sickening. Out of that €10,700 price tag, the registration tax alone is about €3,900, and once you slap on the 25% VAT, the government is walking away with nearly €5,350 for every single unit sold. They treat an efficient commuter scooter like a luxury yacht or a bottle of high-end cognac rather than the green transition tool it actually is.

What kills me is the "environmental" hypocrisy of it all. Our politicians talk non-stop about reducing CO2, yet they ignore the massive resource cost of production. It takes a fraction of the raw materials to build a 180 kg scooter compared to a 2-ton electric SUV with a massive battery. But because the SUV is "electric," it gets a tax break, while those of us trying to reduce congestion and road wear get fleeced. A scooter getting 35-40 km/l should be rewarded for its efficiency, not slapped with a penalty tax that makes it inaccessible for the average worker.

Then there’s the ergonomic struggle. If you’re over 180 cm (approx 6'), you simply don’t fit on the entry-level Asian-market scooters without looking like a bear on a tricycle. Your knees hit the bars and your back is shot after 15 minutes. You need a larger frame like the XMAX just to sit like a human being. But because Danish importers don't bring in the 125cc versions of these larger frames, you're forced into a higher engine displacement, which triggers the most aggressive tier of the tax system. Even a "budget" NMAX 155 now runs about 50,000 DKK (€6,700), which is daylight robbery for a city runabout.

On top of the bike itself, you have to fight through a wall of bureaucracy just to get the license. A motorcycle license here easily sets you back €1,600 to €2,000. By the time you’ve paid for the lessons, the gear, the license, and the bike, you’ve spent enough to buy a used micro-car that produces way more emissions and takes up four times the space.

The system is basically designed to push you back into a car. It’s a total failure of common sense that actively works against the very climate goals they claim to care about.
