In this guide, we will go over the pros and cons of electric scooters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, it’s wise to know about both of them if you’re thinking of buying an electric scooter. Let’s dive into more detail for each one of the points and examine the reasons behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The benefits of owning an electric scooter are numerous and apply to the vast majority of people, especially people in urban areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are some of the most important advantages of electric scooters (and this is not a complete list by any means).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Electric scooters, along with some other rideables, are the most cost-efficient means of transport today. Cost-per-mile, no other mode of transport beats them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buying an electric scooter will set you back a few hundred dollars initially. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some can cost a thousand, or even a few thousand dollars, but you can easily find amazing scooters for under $1000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the bulk of the money you spend on your electric scooter will be at the beginning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are almost no costs to riding your scooter after that, except in the event of a defect after the warranty expires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cost of electricity for charging an electric scooter<\/a> is ridiculously low. I don’t want to say it’s free, but it’s practically free. Certainly beats fuel for your car, as it is orders of magnitude cheaper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to find out how much you can save on your car commutes, or how soon your scooter will pay for itself, check the car commute calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In big cities, the cost of public transport tickets over one year will be the same as buying a medium-priced electric scooter.<\/strong> It’s a no-brainer really – you pay off your scooter in a year, and then you’re left with a free mode of transport for life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Electric scooters are cheap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
