The Ego Street Scoota in action
The state of planet Earth – it’s one everybody’s mind. Global warming, pollution, the price of petrol. You can’t seem to turn on the news without hearing something about it.
You drive your expensive, gas guzzling car to the petrol station and as you stand there watching the numbers go ever upwards, a sense of frustration fills your mind.
You want to do more to help the environment, you want to break free from the shackles of the petrochemical industry. But what to do? That Hybrid car is way out of your price range, and ultimately they still use some petrol. And those Teslas, very cool, but again, not cheap.
Well, if it’s a simple case of getting around town, how about investing a not too significant amount of your savings on an Electric Scooter?
The Ego Electric Scooter has been out for about a year now and proved very popular, especially in urban areas.
It’s practically silent, with a very cool sci-fi 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.
Everyone who tries the Scoota walk away impressed; even at 30mph it’s ride it steady and sure. It copes with everything city driving throws at it, a sturdy frame handling pot holes and speed bumps with aplomb.
But where it really comes into it’s own is in the financial savings. At the moment the Ego Scoota is available in the UK at a special price of £699.95 – a saving of £300, which is an amazing deal (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.
In summary, the Scoota has a good, firm handling bike, comparable to any standard engined Scooter, and the smile on your face when you see your healthy bank balance will be worth the price alone.
