VehicleAbout
Electric scooters, also known as e-scooters, are lightweight, motorized vehicles designed for short trips. They are powered by electric motors integrated into the wheels, typically ranging from 250W to 600W, and are fueled by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. These scooters are popular for their efficiency and environmental benefits, producing zero tailpipe emissions and reducing urban pollution. They are often used in scooter-sharing systems and are classified as a form of micromobility. Key components of an e-scooter include the deck, handlebars, tires, suspension, and brakes. They are energy-efficient, requiring less energy per kilometer than cars, and can be powered by renewable energy sources. E-scooters are versatile, with models offering varying speeds and ranges, making them suitable for urban commuting. Their lightweight design and low material usage also contribute to their eco-friendly profile compared to traditional vehicles.
