Get Yourself A Slick Electric Scooter And Cut Down On Your Fuel Bill

By Kyle Zoltowski

Cars, trains, buses, and motorcycles are not the only way to get around these days. With the rising price of gasoline, electric scooters are being created as an inexpensive alternative.

In response to the constant spike in petroleum prices over the past couple of years, it is said that electric scooter sales have gone up 200%. There are many different types of scooters; they vary in expense, time in driving for each battery, color, size, weight, and style. Some scooters provide very nice shape out there now that make purchasing an electric scooter a very appealing choice.

There are a few types and styles of electric scooters nowadays. Electric scooters come in 6 different forms: two-wheeled Vespa style, two-wheeled stand-up, two-wheeled side-by-side, two wheeled seated, three or four wheeled mobility, and three and four wheeled seated. These scooters also have differences in speed and ability. Therefore, they vary much in price. But, these scooter types have one thing in common - they are all battery powered by electricity. The batteries need to be charged regularly for the electric scooter to have power. Some electric scooters can be used in the home as well as outdoors. Also, some electric scooters can be broken down and can be stored away very quickly. The size required for storage is not substantial; a vehicle takes up part of your yard. More and more people today are ditching the vehicle and getting an electric scooter.

Best Buy, the computer, electronic, and entertainment giant just announced plans to dive into the electric scooter market. A spokesperson for Best Buy stated that they will be offering electric scooters, segways, and electric bicycles. Not only will Best Buy be selling these items, they will offer basic service and repair for these electric scooters. They will offer high end electric motorcycles and simple electric scooters to give more choices to consumers. Professionals have stated that this is a difficult task for them and others think it will fail. However, electric scooters are so popular today that with a sales floor like Best Buy, the venture will be quite successful.

Electric scooters give us a low-cost, quick, and low-maintenance way to get from point a to point b. Not only is maintenance minimal, fuel (electricity) is substantially cheaper than petroleum, electric scooters can sometimes be folded and do not take up much room for storage. Many people today are jumping on the bandwagon and getting an electric scooter. With the ever-growing price of gasoline and the issues of owning and purchasing a vehicle, electric scooters are the choice for many. In addition, people are very attracted to the space savings and reduction of pollutants to our environment. Just think of how clean the air can be if there were no more gas burning vehicles. Also, electric scooters speeds are increasing as production of new models increases. Many of the new models can go up to 70 miles an hour. These quicker models makes a scooter an even more attractive option than getting a car. - 21392
