5 reasons for the E-scooter:
E-scooters are already an integral part of traffic in many places in Switzerland. However, there are also many critics of this new form of urban mobility. Yet, E-scooters have numerous advantages.
1. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFIT
It is well known that cars and other gasoline or diesel-powered motor vehicles emit emissions.
Electric scooters consume a small amount of electricity and emit no emissions, which is better for air quality in our cities. More scooters, as well as bicycles and of course pedestrians, on our streets mean less carbon produced by cars and motor vehicles in the air. This is a step towards CO₂ neutrality - a step in the right direction for our planet and its inhabitants.
There are emissions related to the production and the electricity used to charge the scooter, but these make up a small fraction of what other motorized vehicles produce in emissions. Another good reason to invest in an electric scooter.
2. LOW OPERATING COSTS
The initial costs can be relatively high, but electric scooters are inexpensive compared to other vehicles in terms of operating and maintenance costs. In addition, using an electric scooter for short distances can sometimes be cheaper than using public transport. Many problems with E-Scooters can be solved quite easily, so repair costs are relatively low compared to cars and motorcycles.
3. Faster in the city
An electric scooter with Swiss road approval must not exceed the speed of 20 km/h. The models offered by TWHEELS all comply with these regulations. 20 km/h is 4 times faster than walking and just as fast as a bicycle. And you will reach your destination without much sweat. In addition, with your electric scooter, you use bike paths and roads and thus avoid traffic jams. You no longer have to wait for your bus or tram, which also stops at all stops. Your trips become simple and fast.
4. Almost silent
Noise is a form of pollution that is rarely mentioned. Although we do not always perceive it consciously. What a pleasure it is now to be able to move quickly and yet quietly thanks to electric mobility. All you need is a bike lane away from cars or a nice road along the lake.
5. Enjoy fresh air
Most of us spend a lot of time at home or in the office and often sit in front of a screen. If you replace your bus or tram with an E-Scooter or an electric bike, it is - at least during the nice days - a considerable amount of time in which you can be outside again.
