Things to Consider Before Buying
an Electric Scooter
•
Local Laws
•
•
Fact is many countries have different laws with regards to electric scooters. And in most
places, the regulations on riding electric scooters are quite vague. For instance, scooters are
prohibited on the streets of New York City but they are a popular and acceptable means of
transportation in California.
Distance
•
Generally, an electric scooter on one full charge can last for around 5 hours. Hence, it is a
perfect option for short distance travel. Keep in mind that it cannot function in the same
fashion as a motorcycle or car as both vehicles run on gas. For this reason, electric scooters
are perfect for a daily commute to and from work. Also, it can serve a great purpose for
exploring the neighbourhood or running errands. If you’re considering long distance journey,
you’d better think twice before you hit the road. Instead, look for an alternative.
