Electric Cycle Scooter Review
Archive for the ‘Moped’ Category
Electric vehicles not only mean freedom from having to buy expensive gas and oil, freedom from smelly exhaust, freedom from loud noise but they are nearly maintenance free. At this time of the year the weather has gotten cold, wet and nasty. Most of us have had to put away our bicycles, scooters, mopeds for the winter. In the past if you had gasoline burners you had to add expensive chemicals so the gas wouldn’t go bad. Now days most of us are having to use Ethanol gasoline which attracts moisture and compounds the storage problems. Come Spring most of us have a hard time getting our vehicles started and running up to snuff. For a lot of us the Spring ritual required time and expense.
Not so with the new Electric vehicles
. I just park mine and cover them to keep them clean. Come Spring all I have to do is uncover them and give them a quick charge. They are ready and dependable plus they are not adding pollutants to our enviroment. Better yet if we have a couple days of good weather I can break them out and use them with out any problems or work.
With the high gasoline prices today, many people are looking for more efficient ways to travel, especially over short distances. Here are a few methods of efficient travel that are quick and won’t break the bank.
~Bicycles: the classic pedal machine, for short trips to the grocery or corner store it doesn’t waste gas, doesn’t pollute, and is also part of a healthy lifestyle.
~Electric Mopeds: for longer distances, electric powered mopeds are not a bad way to get around. With a helmet, they’re safe for kids and teens and can allow them to visit friends or nearby locations without parental transportation.
~Motorcycles: for adults and can be a more permanent solution for gasoline efficient travel. The typical motorcycle can get upwards of 60 mpg. They are great for getting to work or even traveling longer distances, as long as you don’t need to accommodate other passengers.
“GREEN”, Business, Electric Vehicles = Great Partners!
Large and small business has finally gotten on the bandwagon of “GREEN”, some of there efforts have been building green plants, offices, and other buildings that are energy saving. They are using recycled products, energy saving products, and even adjusting operating hours to create energy savings. We heartily endorse this trend. We also offer this suggestion: Encourage your employees to do the same. One way would be encouraging employees to use Electric Vehicles like Electric Mopeds, Electric Bicycles, and Electric Scooters. These Companies could provide ‘charging stations’, preferred parking, even indoor parking. The costs are minimal, possibly even cost saving. These vehicles are normally smaller and require less parking space. It certainly would help the business’s image but better yet it would be a great asset and morale booster to their employees. Maybe even some type of cost sharing program for their employees.
Another way they can promote “Green” is to use these same vehicles. Electric Bicycles are inexpensive and have nearly no maintenance, the same can be said for Electric Scooters. These could be used for transportation between buildings, plants, or outside destinations. A bonus is they can be used inside those same structures because they don’t make noise, no exhaust fumes, no oil dripping, compact size, and maintenance is minimal compared to gas/propane vehicles. They could provide quicker transportation of personnel and quite probably save the Company time and money.
In fact we should encourage our City’s, Counties, State and Federal Governments to utilize these Green Machines. Government is the perfect tool to set the example for the rest of us. After all any money they save is really ours.
Never in history have we needed to reduce our own expense’s, reduce consumption of precious natural resources, and reduce pollution more than right now. One of the first things that comes to mind when reducing expense is transportation. But some of the answers are just a little to extreme for us, such as: ride a bicycle to work, buy a hybrid car, ride a moped/scooter. Work might be to far for riding a bike, a hybrid car to expensive, and a Moped/Scooter has it’s problems, sometimes it is to cold, and storing them creates a problem with moisture in the fuel, hard starting after sitting a while, noisy and smelly for parking at work and in the garage.
Electric Vehicles can counter most of those problems. Electric bicycles can travel upto 25 miles per charge and travel up to 20 mph without any physical exertion (in the rare instance of no more charge you can pedal them). They can travel in the bike lanes and get through traffic quickly. The newest designs look like Mopeds and can have windshields attached.
Electric Mopeds (look like Vespa scooters) can travel up to 60 mph for up to 85 miles. They have comfortable seating, and wind protection, and can seat two adults. They need very little maintenance, no costly fuel, no pollutants, and are inexpensive compared to hybrid cars, and you can park them easily (sometimes companies let them inside the building since they are quiet and not smelly). Best of all they are not using gasoline and polluting.
The newest technology has really made these vehicles a viable answer to today’s needs. They have new highly efficient motors, batteries that are smaller but more powerful than ever, and new designs for today’s needs. They are the future.
Practical, Energy-Efficient Transportation
When I traveled to Western Europe last year, I expected to see plenty of signs of American influence. It surprised me just how different some aspects of Italy and France were from other places I’d been. For instance, small cars and scooters made up the bulk of traffic on highways and in the cities as well. It got me to wondering why so many people would be driving mopeds and smart cars.
As it turns out, these vehicles are much more energy-efficient than standard automobiles. An Xtreme electric moped doesn’t even require gas. The second and most obvious reason is that the vehicles save space. As America becomes increasingly crowded, there’s a good chance that people here will look to smaller, more compact forms of transportation.
