How E-Scooters Play An Important Role In Making Your City Environment Friendly
There has been a huge increase in the number of electric vehicles in India and this is a huge step towards a healthier and cleaner environment. While the pollution keeps on increasing, the air we breathe is harmful. A recent study conducted by the International Council on Clean Transportation states that the exhaust from vehicles is a major source of outdoor air pollution.
The studies found that in 2015 on-road diesel vehicles were responsible for nearly half of the health problems created by pollution from transport worldwide. This is a major concern for all as this exposes us to major health issues. Making the transition from fuel-based vehicles to e-scooters will take a while but at the same time, they have a lot of benefits.
In this article, we will talk about how E- scooters play an important role in making our city environment friendly.
Fuel
There is no surprise here that the most important factor of an electric scooter is that it does not require fuel to run. Imagine running out of fuel constantly and waiting in long lines just to refuel. There is a lot of time and money that is being wasted and to top it all, fuel-based vehicles make the air more toxic and unhealthy to breathe. With the help of e-scooters, you can play an important role in keeping the air clean and even reduce the use of fuel. Charging the battery of electric scooters is easy and you get to skip the long and time-consuming lines at the fuel pump. On the other hand, fuel prices are increasing constantly, so investing in e-scooters will save you money yearly. Although it consumes electricity to charge, it will not spike up your bill and it will be significantly lower compared to your fuel bills.
Traffic
Being stuck in traffic is the last thing any individual would want to do. Especially for four-wheeler vehicles, as it occupies more space and this leads to more congestion. The wastage of fuel at a signal, increasing noise and air pollution, and moreover the amount of time that is wasted is a major problem. These situations do not seem pleasant, but electric scooters, on the other hand, play a huge role in situations such as a traffic stop. They are super quiet as the motor does not churn out loud noises, when the scooter is station the motor automatically cut off and battery is not wasted, they are easy to handle. Unlike big vehicles, electric scooters are easy to ride and they can cut through the traffic. All in all, you save time and get to enjoy a pleasant ride to work/
Overall Cost
Electric scooters make sense for the economy in multiple ways. For an Individual, it can help recover the cost of the vehicle in about 3 years and the battery can be used for quite a while if it’s maintained well. Fuel based bikes require you to change the engine oil, gear oil, and various components of the vehicle every few months. This, in turn, will cost you quite a lot of money on a yearly basis, and also adding up to the various fuel refills will be expensive.
For a Nation, it saves a lot of money in terms of oil imports and reduces the damage done to the environment. E-scooters have at least 60% less maintenance then ICE Scooters. An electric Scooter has lesser moving parts in comparison to ICE scooters, which makes it much more robust and maintenance-free. All in all, electric scooters are pocket friendly and easy to maintain.
Reusable Battery
The benefit of having an e-scooter is that you save money on fuel and save a lot on maintenance. When the battery is drained, you just need to charge it like you charge your phone. After a few hours, your scooter is good to go. And with proper care of the scooter and battery, you can easily increase the battery life. Few tips would be to keep the battery clean, use the original charger, charge it every month even if the scooter is not used.
Batteries are a much better alternative to fossil fuels with respect to environmental pollution and health hazards. The batteries used in BGauss can be recharged for a couple of years and post that there is also a process defined to recycle the batteries. Electric vehicles are the future of transportation and they have plenty of benefits for us and the environment. The time is now to make a change and switch to electric transportation, what are your thoughts?
