An electric scooter has several advantages over a gasoline-powered moped. For example, an electric scooter is quieter and more environmentally friendly because it does not emit exhaust fumes. In addition, the energy cost is lower than the fuel cost of a gasoline-powered scooter. In addition, electric scooters are often better for driver comfort; for example, they are easier to start, have less vibration and often offer more storage space. Finally, thanks in part to their innovative design, electric scooters are often very trendy and modern, making them attractive to younger audiences.
The benefits of an electric scooter
Zero emission
Obviously, the biggest advantage of an electric vehicle. No emissions of harmful gases.
Always maximum torque
One of the strengths of the electric motor is that maximum torque is always available. From standstill, maximum torque is already available. Thus, compared to a conventional internal combustion engine, no minimum number of rpm are required to obtain maximum torque.
In practice, this means that you never have to search for the right RPM, or the right gear. After all, gears are unnecessary with an electric scooter, which can make you, the rider, enjoy your ride even more. Once experienced, you won’t want to go back!
Less maintenance required
Another great advantage of the electric scooter is that it requires much less maintenance than a traditional internal combustion engine. There are a lot of parts in a classic engine that need to be replaced on a regular basis. Think spark plugs, air filter, etc. The few parts in an electric scooter that are subject to wear are e.g. the tires, brake pads and possibly oil in the hydraulic brake line.
No noise and smell
No more noise and odor pollution. No more oil spills.
Tax benefits
You pay no road tax. For the purchase of an electric vehicle, the government regularly launches incentives. You also usually get an extra discount on your insurance if you ride an electric scooter.
Conclusion
Every mile driven on an electric scooter is a lot cheaper and provides much more driving pleasure.
