One Alternative To High Gas Prices, The Electric Scooter

[wxa7115]

Best is to use these and manual transport like cycling or walking, a bit of running, jogging etc, I guess with not only we save more money on it, we also boost our health a lot which is a win win situation plus, maybe in future prices of these will rise significantly as cost of gas and oil might go out of the general middle class family and it might be a good investment as well!

Personally I am in favor of buying a regular bicycle as well, the electric scooter looks fine and without a doubt there would be circumstances that would merit buying one, however if your commute to your job is relatively close then a regular bicycle could do the job and not only you will save on fuel costs but you will also exercise in the process.

And not only that depending on where you live and how much traffic there is the bicycle could be even faster than a car moving in the city, so it would not only be more energy efficient but also more time efficient, which is crazy considering how cheap bicycles can be compared to cars.

Walking is not a good form of exercise, in my opinion. To get good exercise a person's heart rate needs to be elevated, which casual walking isn't known for producing.

Maybe that's your conclusion based on a long walk of 8 miles a day for a long time - but so far I haven't learned that moderate walking (30 minutes a day) is bad for your health, quite the opposite. What can be bad is walking in a polluted environment (traffic, industry) or using very uncomfortable footwear which can be very uncomfortable for the feet.

As a person who is fat (unfortunately) I have been to doctors all my life and they have constantly did tests on my body and always gave me the same advice, to walk. However, one thing that I did not know, and learned from my doctor visits and multiple doctors saying the same thing came to the same result; treadmills are not the way to do it.

I mean if you could walk on the road, or on some walking path, or basically just regular street, you could have a better result, when you are walking on a machine, that is bad for your knee joints. I have zero clue why that is, that is just what the doctors told me, but that is my only contribution to it. 30 minute walks every single day on a good path would improve a fat person's life very easily.

The main reason why electric vehicles still not comes under the priority among people is the lack of charging station, how many people can afford to have two vehicles one for daily usage and another one with mechanical engine just for long travel? We also consider the people all around the world not only the people who can afford everything.

The main drawback to electric scooters is safety and in many cases insurance of the vehicle. There are many statistics that will tell you that these are very prone to accidents and users tend to misuse them and ride over walkways and the like. I am not so sure you can escape the cost of crude as the cost of electricity has also increased everywhere.

Advice - if you buy one, let it not be chinesse.

Totally agree with you, in my city, according to data, more accidents occur due to reckless electric scooter users and breaking road barriers.  Strict rules need to be imposed on scooter users because otherwise, it will have a bad impact on people, other than that don't buy products from china because usually, cheap stuff has bad quality lol.

There are some comparison in between treadmills and elliptical trainer.

Not all people could afford a treadmill so simply walking on the streets or road would suffice if this one is really required and its true that 30 minute walk
isnt really a bad thing.All you do need to do is to persevere or making it as a default chore if you do tend to be healthy.

It's rarely the vehicle's fault (electric scooters in our case), they are small in size, snappy throughout the city while the lack of sound isn't helping in the hustle of a large city. Anyway, their usage needs caution and proper infrastructure, such as bicycle paths, which could be used in conjunction with bicycles and with a speed limit of course, since some of those are quite fast.

This became a thing in Turkey these days. There is a company called "martı" that has been around for a few years now, like maybe 2-3 years at most but they grew insanely bigger and bigger during the pandemic. Nowadays I am seeing them putting electric type of bikes everywhere as well. Not those huge motorcycle things, just small tiny things that you can sit on and go. I believe that that will grow super insanely high as well. I do not know how you get licenses for that, but they probably spent millions upon millions of dollars to just get those vehicles, both the scooters and the electric mini bikes as well. Its really growing exponentially.

That has existed in my nation for years. It is not really a bad idea, I like riding those things because it is insanely cheap, it is like 10 cents per kilometre if you calculate it, which means that if you go to work 20 km away, that is 2 dollars per day spent on the ride. Even taking the bus could be more expensive then that, so you spend like 4 bucks per day on your travels to and from your work.

Not really a big amount of money and you could rent them everywhere and there is usually an app for it and you could see where is the closest one. The only problem is that sometimes there isn't any close one so you have to walk a lot, or you just use alternative ways. It is never really a good thing to open it up in the morning and finding none in your area.

Whenever the number do rise up that fast or being significant already then it would really be just normal for its government to impose rule for those who are using these things to get in line with bicycle lanes rather than

going itself into the main road where big vehicles do really cross and its true that it would be still risky if you do ride alone on using up this scooter.Not only it is just small occupation of space but also it is really that silent
for someone not able to notice it thats why it would be better that they would be in fused or make use of bicycle lanes which would be safer.

We already know we have limited supply of natural energy sources. And each second we burn billion tons of these precious sources just to travel from one place to other. There is dire need to think for coming future where we are independent of these limited sources.
There are tons of alternate source and around the world different students and professors are searching for more efficient ways to utilize those sources. Am also a chemistry graduate and know this matter very well.

Electric vehicles and motor bike are also one of the sources which use electricity as fuel to run. and with the combination of solar energy, it can be an infinite source of energy and to use freely.
many countries citizens like eclectic motors due to there silent and cool design. in future we can see more delightful and efficient version of them too.
