Top 5 Reasons To Buy An Electric Scooter

Published August 2, 2022

You’ve been questioning yourself as to whether to buy the electric scooter. Yes. No. Yes. No. There are probably plenty of reasons as to why you’re convincing yourself you should, and the one reason you have convincing you not to get it is overtaking. Well get rid of that reason – it’s worth it. Here are 5 reasons to buy an electric scooter!

1. It’s Environmentally Green

It is common knowledge that anything with a motor emits greenhouse gases. Although electric scooters do hold a motor, it is only small in comparison to a car. In the bigger picture, electric scooters are far more economical and ‘green’ than driving a car is.

The more e-scooter users, as well as pedestrians and bike users, we have on our roads brings us one step closer to having a carbon friendly planet.

2. Scooters Are Faster Than Walking

Although most scooters can only reach up to 15.5mph generally which is slower than a car, it is around 5x faster than travelling while walking. Did you know that roughly while walking, you only manage to get 1 mile every 15/20 minutes, compare that to the scooter going 5x faster!

3. They Help To Ease Traffic Flow

With more people riding on electric scooters, it means there will be less road users using cars, motorbikes etc.. For the people that are travelling too far to be able to use a scooter, this makes driving a lot more simple and less hazardous than when everything is driving on the roads. There will be less traffic build up meaning a lower rate of pollution emissions as well as less sound, this is especially important when in housed areas.

4. Their Low Operating Costs

In comparison to a car, E-Scooters are far cheaper in terms of buying and running. The average for a new electric scooter costs about £400 whereas the average new car costs about £30,000. And that is just the initial cost – paying for petrol costs a lot per week too, however, to fuel an electric scooter, it just needs its battery charging.

Yes, battery charging will increase the electricity cost in your household, but in terms of petrol costs it is a lot cheaper in the long run. There are also many free/cheap charging points around some countries where you can recharge on the go.

5. It’s A lot Of Fun

Once you’ve figured out the basics of working an e-scooter (which is achieved quicker than a car!) the world is your oyster! You will most likely find yourself out in times when you didn’t think you’d be out. It is a lot of fun, feeling the wind blowing in your face through your clothes, it’s just great!

You get to see things that you don’t get a chance to see when you’re on a bus or in a car. It would certainly be an enjoyable ride to work or the shops!
