Electric Motor Scooters Still a World Favorite

By Mike Scott

Scooters sales have continued to climb even in a shaky world economy. There are various reasons for this ranging from affordability to fuel efficiency to the fact that they are cute and trendy. Scooters have evolved since their early days in the 1920s when they were invented to alleviate the problem of the daily commute for workers during the 20th century industrial revolution. Today, major world cities owe the scooter for their hundreds of thousands of daily workers getting to and work. Even in the West where many people own motor vehicles, the allure of scooters has captivated many. The escalation of fuel prices has also contributed to this.

There are many different types of scooters. There are the human-powered scooters which are popular with children, then there are the slightly more advanced namely the electric scooters and the gas scooters. These have continued to be very popular even in this age of motor vehicle innovation. The electric scooter in particular attracts a drove of fans from India to Toronto. What makes it so inviting?

One of the reasons why the electric scooter is popular is because of the fact that there is no need to worry about gasoline. We are all aware of the fact that gasoline prices have continued to climb despite repeated reassurances by politicians and economists that they will not. This has placed a tremendous financial burden on many households. Those that have cars have had to cut down on the places they drive to while others have sold the type of cars that they had especially SUVs.

Electric scooters therefore continue to be attractive because they offer an alternative way of saving money on fuel. In the US, where people do almost all their commute using personal vehicles, the crushing burden of motor fuel has been unbearable especially to the low income.

The scooters are also easy to maintain. With the electric scooter, the engine is comprised of electric components which run off a battery. This battery can easily be replaced or recharged. This makes the scooters easy to maintain especially for people with low incomes.

We have also seen that the allure that comes from electric scooters comes about due to trends. Admittedly, scooters are trendy. While in the past they used to be considered archaic and only fit for the elderly, this is not the case today. In the West, it is not uncommon to see people who own elegant cars also investing in one or two electric scooters. These are used to ride at the beach, the picnic or the neighborhood for short distances. They can be now be customized to fit different color settings and even body shape. Different colors are now available from the manufacturer and people can now order specific accessories to come with the scooter. This makes the bikes a trendy pasttime for teens and adults a like. It is also common to see parents buying the scooters for their children so they can ride together and do recreational activities. - 21392
