With the growing awareness of sustainability and environmental preservation issues, electric mobility is one of the topics on the media agenda.

You've probably already considered buying an electric scooter or you're addicted to this type of solution and want to upgrade!

The first thing to do is identify your needs, frequency of use and type of route to take. At Aquário you will find the answer to what you need.

Here are five features you should consider before buying:

 

1. Price

If an electric car can be a big investment and therefore a more difficult measure to adopt, scooters are here to stay.

Available in various prices and brands, at Aquário we have a selection that ranges from €97.50 - such as Cr-Byke Biwond Electric Scooter - at €853.20 - as is the case with Electric Scooter Es-Way Gt Double Motor 900w -, depending on the scooter's central features.

 

 

In other words, you can choose a sustainable solution according to your budget.

 

2. Comfort

Each person is different and therefore values different points in terms of comfort.

There are several points to consider: type of tires (solid or with inner tubes), suspension, handlebars, riding position… Ideally, you should opt for a scooter with inner tube tires, as they absorb vibration while riding , and adjustable handlebars! If you have a removable seat, as with the Cr-Byke scooter, perfect!

If it is not possible to take a test drive, think carefully about the type and frequency of use to make the right choice.

 

3. Weight and Portability

Today, mobility is made up of sustainable choices that are appropriate to one's routines. It is important to have a solution that satisfies all the circumstances of your life, so you should buy a scooter that is light and portable.

 

4. Power and Autonomy

Better for excess than for defect. This maxim applies to the range of electric scooters.

After calculating the time and distance of the daily routes you will take, choose a scooter with more autonomy, taking into account that the type of route affects its performance. So, if the path is not regular, the motor must have at least between 250 and 500W.

 

5. Loading time

This has been a point of successive improvement in the offer of electric scooters: the better the vehicle, the shorter the charging time. Generally, a scooter can recharge in a period of between 3 to 8 hours. Once you've figured out how much time you have, make your selection!

 

Advantages of Electric Mobility and Electric Scooters

• Ecology - they run on electric batteries;
• Silence – good for the sound environment and quiet travel;
• Basic maintenance – compared to a combustion engine, it has few components, which suffer little wear;
• Economy – there are free charging stations and, if you have to charge at home, the cost of electricity is much lower than that of fossil fuels;
• Usability – because they are practical and intuitive, they can be used by almost all age groups;
• Versatility- Most electric scooters can be compacted, so they can be stored easily, saving more space. At any time, you can grab your scooter and hit the road!

 

Electric mobility: a new reality or a distant future?

Mobility is constantly subject to external factors. The COVID-19 pandemic, for example, had an impact in this area, as it is possible to analyze through the applications that Apple and Google developed for analysis of some countries and cities.

However, electric mobility is definitely here to stay. With society increasingly aware of sustainability issues and younger generations trained to leave a green footprint, the market will follow these demands.

 

With these tips, the choice will be very easy!
