Yes, Electric Kick Scooters Are Eco Friendly!
Electric kick scooters are definitely scooting around: big cities, little towns, and everywhere else it seems. What these small sized micromobile vehicles have in common with other green vehicles is their small carbon footprint. Per kilometer, an electric car emits about 47 grams, a hybrid electric about 68 grams, and a bicycle about 16-40 grams of C02. The electric kick scooter emits about 4 -12 grams covering the same distance(small to medium sized motors). So, the CO2 is considerably less by traveling on a ekick scooter. They ideally, are trended toward first and last mile trips, short trips, and of course, a leisurely outing.
Features
They are quiet, small, light enough to carry, and come with a ton of features to entice anybody of any age group. But ultimately, they are for the environment, and for that they seem to be gathering riders from all walks of life, and all parts of the world.
Rental Scooters
Rental electric kick scooters are very popular and have been in business for several years now in larger city areas like Los Angeles, Portland, San Franciso. They too are gaining popularity in small cities and towns across North America and around the world. More and more municipalities are introducing bylaws for ekick scooter riders and rental companies as they cautiously tread this new landscape of micromobility enthusiasts.
Batteries
The batteries on electric kick scooters are small, compact, affordable and replaceable. And, with at least 400 charge cycles, or about a two year lifespan on an average priced scooter, they are definitely a win win for the consumer, manufacturers, and the environment. They are of course made of lithium-ion, the most to date, efficient battery on the market, which is also recyclable.
While we continue to buy and ride our sustainable ekick scooters, more brands are introducing new and better ekick scooters each year. Established scooter rental companies are also improving their scooter fleets to make them even more carbon friendly.
