Do you love your Scooty? Most scooters are really conservative gas guzzlers and efficient to use, but what if you cut down your gas consumption totally while still using your favorite transport vehicle? And that’s not all no matter how much your fuel economy your scooter is offering you, the rising fuel rates will really put a great dent on your transport budget. But switching over to the electric scooter can now get you a really great advantage of your transport at a fraction of the existing cost!

1. The best advantage of the newer breed of electric motor scooters is the real noiselessness! Almost every electric motor scooter is designed to make no noise and the most you will notice is a mild whirring noise just like an electric wheel chair.

2. Another really attractive advantage is the price. Most gas scooters range in the high $350- $450 range and they are expensive but even the cheapest of the electric scooters falls into the $200 - $300 range which is still pretty affordable and you have the count that you don’t have to pay any gas bills every month.

3. Although the battery in the electric scooter does require charging and maintenance, the costing comes to about 10% of your fuel bill. And on top of that there are no emissions which make the electric scooter eligible for use indoors! An average electric scooter battery can be recharged about 300 to 500 times, again and again for only about two years. There are different types pf batteries and you have to realize that the older batteries are less powerful than the newer batteries and you have to maintain the condition well to get the best out of them. Every two years get your battery evaluated and start thinking about getting a new one.

4. Most electric scooter batteries are left to be charged overnight which is not the best way to charge them. You can get the best of your battery by charging them after every trip. Do not leave the battery on the charger for longer periods of time. Get your electric scooter evaluated every two years for the best working out of it.

5. There are a whole different variety of rechargeable motor scooter present in the market and a few variants include:

• Transportable or Foldable Mobility Scooters: are really great electric scooters which you can easily fold and transport at any time. These are ideal for use with travelers who can then fold up their transport and carry it where ever they go.
