Electric Scooters Operate at 1p per Mile

A new company in the United Kingdom has just launched a line of affordable electric scooters which they feel will change the way that some people travel as well as take advantage of a greener customer base that wants to do its part to cut carbon emissions.  The new line of scooters will be launched by E-Motive, a company which produces electric vehicles.  There will be three models available in the first launch and all are said to operate at very low costs, as little as 1p per mile.

The three different models all have their advantages and all operate at extremely low costs making them perfect for people just starting out, or those looking to save money on their commute.  A recent announcement by London mayor Boris Johnson said that fares for bus and Tube would go up significantly in London, along with the congestion fee to operate a car in London’s busiest areas.  This means some Brits will be paying upwards of twenty pounds for their daily commute.  This makes options like electric scooters viable ones for British commuters.

There will be three models of the scooter, all with slight variations.  The e1 scooter will not go as fast as the other two but at just under fourteen hundred pounds it is a cheap option for young drivers who are just starting out.  The e3 and e5 models will both go faster and offer a longer battery life for drivers who are looking to use their scooter for more than just commuting.  The cost of the e5 ranges up to four thousand pounds and will reach a top speed of sixty five miles per hour.
