The Ego Street Scoota in action
The state of planet Earth – it’s one everybody’s mind. Global warming, pollution, the price of petrol. It’s never far from the news headlines.
And when you drive to the petrol station, that twinge of guilt nestles there in the back of your head, nagging away.
You want to do more to help the environment, you want to break free from the shackles of the petrochemical industry. What can one do? You can’t afford that expensive Hybrid car, and anyway they still use some petrol. And those Teslas are cool but not that practical.
If it’s a case of commuting about town, but a push bike seems a little too much like hard work, how about splashing out on a Electric Scooter?
The Ego Electric Scooter has been out for about a year now and proved very popular, especially in urban areas.
It’s virtually silent, with a neat whine as it accelerates. It emits no fumes and is 99% less polluting than the cleanest fossil fuel powered vehicles (Source: Environmental Protection Agency)
In the UK you won’t have to pay road tax or congestion charges, and if you had a full license before 2001 you don’t even need L plates.
Most people who try the Scoota are impressed, it can hold a steady 30mph and gives a sure and comfortable ride. It copes with everything city driving throws at it, a sturdy frame handling pot holes and speed bumps with aplomb.
But the Street Scoota’s real secret weapon is it’s cost savings. At the moment the Ego Scoota is available in the UK at a special price of £699.95 – a saving of £300, (offer ends Sept 31st 2009).
A single eight hour charge will cost you a mere 10 pence (20 cents) and will be good for a 40 mile journey. Plus, with more and more recharging points appearing in cities, you can always top up en route. That would barely get you to the end of the road on public transport. Used regularly, the Scoota will have paid for itself in no time.
Overall, the Scoota handles well, as well as any regular Scooter, and the looks and smiles you get are often worth the price alone.
