Electric Scooters

by
People ride electric scooters because they:

crave the feel of scooting — like skiing on land;
enjoy making local errands fun, quick and easy;
like to save money, meet new people, and protect the environment;
still need convenient, point-to-point transportation after losing their driving privileges;
want their own traffic "lane", convenient parking spots and shortcuts;
would use public transportation if they could avoid the "long walk";
find electric scooter dates even more romantic than motorcycle dates;
regularly travel farther than the 1-mile range of kick scooters;
deserve more fun and freedom in their lives.

For either recreation or transportation, electric scooters offer major advantages over the most popular gas-powered scooters:

  1. Electric scooters are allowed on public transit (bus/train/plane) whereas gas-powered scooters are prohibited.
  2. Noise and air pollution of gas-powered scooters is eliminated.
    Electric motors provide quick starts and hill-climbing without the delay of gas engine "ramp up".
  3. Although often purchased as a "toy", electric scooters often serve as transportation – whether for local errands or when youngsters go to college.
