Electric Scooters Are Giving Gasoline A Bad Name

By Joseph Dungler


As kids, many of us enjoyed the thrill of electric scooters. Whether it was your brother's Vespa or grandma's old Zap, you were sure to have fun. Scooters are still fun to ride today, but they've become more. Scooters can mean the difference between being late to work or they can mean that grandma has to walk the whole store carrying around whatever she needs to buy.

Major cities with large populations have a lot of traffic congestion. Electric scooters make it easier to get in and around that traffic, without having to worry about paying for parking or getting stuck in a traffic jam and being late for work. These battery powered life savers are perfect for in-town driving or the basic to and fro of going to work every day. Some jobs even provide free parking for scooters and bikes while car owners have to fork over cash every day.

Electric scooters are highly convenient for seniors who are disabled, but still like to do things themselves. They can maintain an electric scooter easily with no trips to the gas station and never having to get an oil change. Speeds of disability scooters are required by law to be below 10 miles per hour in some states. This is helpful in preventing accidents.

Although they come in electric models as well, the moped is very different. This type of electric scooter is popular with the younger crowd and delivery people in big cities. They run at high speeds with the fastest moving more than 60 miles per hour. Mopeds come equipped with two wheels and usually have a step through body, while disability scooters have three wheels and a baggage carry add-on. Both are considered electric scooters.

Electric vehicles are going to be the future. Along with solar power they present safer more efficient alternatives to using gasoline. They don't cause as much noise pollution or damage to the ozone. The cost of maintaining an electric scooter is next to nothing. When considering an electric method of transportation, keep in mind the high cost of electric cars.
