The rise of e-scooters
E-scooters have risen in popularity over the previous years. You can rent them, most of them are privately owned. The urban mobility sector is rapidly changing and is speeding into an electric future. Practical, convenient, portable, eco-friendly, reliable, economical and relatively affordable, electric scooters are so popular right now and we’re going to look into why?
Electrical scooters are extremely economical to run - Owning an electric scooter has lots of advantages, the cost of electricity to run the scooter is cheaper than its petrol counterpart. But there are lots of other aspects to take into consideration such as no congestion charges and no parking fees. The e-scooter is a mobile compact means of transport that can go with you anywhere
Electric scooters mean zero emissions- Electric cars are coming, and they are soon bound to overtake the sales of internal combustion engine vehicles. But currently, they are still expensive in the market, electric scooters fit into that gap perfect as a quiet, cheaper and easier means of transportation
Electric batteries are improving- Most electric scooters can go for about 20 miles on one charge, though there are now models that can go over 50 miles. There’s obviously a trade-off with portability. Recharging the battery of an electric scooter can take as much as eight hours, but newer models reduce that to about five hours
