Over the last year it has become very expensive to drive a car in the United Kingdom, especially in London. Not only have petrol prices continued to rise, but new congestion fees, and road tolls have made driving a car in London an expensive endeavor. This has led to people looking for new, cheaper, and greener ways to commute to and from work. 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. Even though public transportation still remains the greenest option it is certainly not the cheapest. Recently London Mayor Boris Johnson confirmed that fares for trains, buses, and the Tube would be going up. This makes electric scooters and other green transportation a much more viable option for those living in the city or just outside of it. The infrastructure is starting to change to support these types of vehicles, as cities are now installing electric top off stations throughout the UK.
