Cars are convenient, but they can be expensive to purchase and maintain. As a result, many people choose alternative forms of transportation to save money and reduce their environmental impact. Bicycles are a popular alternative, but electric scooters are popping up in cities across the world to help people get around without a car.
Here are five advantages of using an electric scooter over a car.
It’s no big secret that cars are expensive. Not only is it expensive to purchase a vehicle, but you have to consider the cost of maintaining a vehicle. Older vehicles will likely require more frequent maintenance, but newer vehicles may cost more overall to maintain.
When you buy an electric scooter, you’re spending significantly less money on your transportation. In addition, an e-scooter is considerably less expensive to purchase and maintain compared to a regular car.
How much is an electric scooter? You can get a scooter for as little as $300, but a good quality model will cost around $600-$800. A car, on the other hand, costs several thousand dollars to purchase.
Compared to a car, e-scooters are more environmentally friendly. Yes, scooter manufacturing does release emissions, but once the scooter is produced, the only environmental impact is the electricity needed to recharge the battery. The scooter itself doesn’t release emissions when you ride it.
On the other hand, vehicles release emissions every time you drive them. In addition, the production of vehicles also produces emissions.
When your drive a car, you’re not really engaging any of your muscles or burning calories. You’re sitting comfortably in a seat, and controlling the vehicle takes little effort.
While an electric scooter does most of the work for you, it’s still an overall healthier option for transportation compared to a traditional vehicle. These benefits apply to any type of e-scooter, whether you’re buying an electric scooter for kids or adults.

These are all benefits that you won’t be able to get when driving a car.
There’s no doubt that scooters are easier to use and operate than vehicles. However, you need to take a road test and obtain a license to drive a car. You also need to buy a vehicle that’s street legal, and in most cases, must pass an inspection.
Electric scooters are simple. You probably don’t need a special license to operate one. You may be able to ride one in the bike lane in your city. Of course, you’ll need to check your local laws, but generally, scooters are a much simpler form of transportation.
A folding electric scooter makes this form of transportation even simpler. Just fold it up and store it in a closet or wherever. It’s just as simple as a regular bicycle.
If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to get from point A to point B, an electric scooter is a great option.
A portable electric scooter is easy to store. When you drive home, you need to park your car on the street, in your driveway or in a garage. If you have a truck or SUV, it’s easy for a car to take up 14+ feet.
In fact, the average car is 14’7” - that’s a lot of space.
Scooters fold up for easy transport, and you can easily store them in the closet or corner of a room. If you live in a smaller flat or apartment where parking is very limited or not available at all, a scooter is a must-have.
They're small and compact – perfect for easy storage.
Electric scooters have many advantages over a car. They’re less expensive, they’re more environmentally friendly, they’re simple to use and easy to store. Compared to a car, they’re also better for your overall health.
