Ready for a new scooter? They’re a great way of getting around private land (with the owner’s permission of course). Here are six things we think you’ll love about them:
They’re easy to take with you
You can’t use private scooters for commuting, or any public land. But that doesn’t stop you from taking your scooter on an adventure. If you know someone who will let you ride your e-scooter on their property, you can still have a lot of fun. And most e-scooters are foldable and light enough to pick up and take with you!
They’re better than a car (arguably)
E-scooters are run by (no surprises) an electric motor. So you can have your fun while using less fuel than a car.
They’re really smart!
Get yourself an e-scooter and most will come with an app that gives you so many options. How far have you scooted today?How much battery do you have left? Bike locks may use fiddly keys, but can you unlock them from your phone? If you’re a tech fan, e-scooters just seem to make sense.
They’re less effort than a bike
Cycling’s a great way to exercise. But sometimes that’s not your biggest priority after a gruelling workday. An e-scooter’s more get-up-and-go, less gear-up-and-pedal. Shower optional.
Plus, bike’s take up a fair bit of space. Most people who have been in a flat share with a cyclist can relate. A scooter is much more compact, easily tucked away in a cupboard.
They’ll still keep you fit
Yes it’s not the over huff-and-puff exercise of a bicycle… but an e-scooter will still help you burn calories.
That’s because staying upright on a scooter requires balance. All those tiny muscle adjustments to keep you from falling can tone your core, in a similar way to a gentle yoga practice.
They’re a lot of fun
There’s no getting around this one- scooting just looks fun. Maybe it’s the souped-up childhood nostalgia, maybe it’s going along while doing virtually nothing. Either way, it’s giving us e-scooter envy.
So, if you’ve got a private open space available, why not get your own e-scooter?
Hop onto Currys and you can now find a few different models to choose from – from traditional front facing ones to Segway lookalikes.
