Selection of street legal electric scooters...

If you're looking for an even greener alternative transportation than a gas scooter, you might look at electric scooters... no, not the kind your grandmother drives in the local box store! Today's electric motor scooters are more powerful and closer to gas-powered scooters than ever before.

Some Advantages of Electric vs. Gas Scooters

There are some real advantages to using electric motor scooters over gasoline scooters, namely:

• Electric power for scooters costs about 1/4 of what gas fuel would.



• Electric scooters are quieter than gas ones.



• Electric scooters are more environmentally-friendly.



• It's more convenient and cheaper to replenish the "fuel." Just plug it in & recharge.



• Electric scooters need less maintenance, such as no oil changes.



• Although electricity generation can produce some emissions, as a rule, they're less than those emitted by gasoline exhaust.

But Not Everything Is Better

On the other hand, gas scooters have some advantages over electric...

• Street legal electric scooters often cost a lot more than gas scooters.



• Electric scooters have to be re-fueled (recharged) more often than gas scooters, so they won't take you on as long trips.



• Electric motor scooters take longer to recharge than gas scooters do to fill up.



• In many cases, electric scoots won't go as fast as they're gas counterparts, though that is changing.



• Electric scooter battery recharging can be inconvenient at times, depending on the accessibility of an electrical outlet to plug into.



• Electric scooters won't always keep going on cold days.

High-powered electric motorcycles are already available in the US. So, it is likely that street legal electric scooters that are the equivalent of many gasoline scooters won't be far behind.
