Zooming into the Future: E-Scooters and Sustainable Transportation
E-scooters operate on rechargeable batteries, typically lithium-ion, which power an electric motor attached to the wheels. Riders can control speed via a throttle on the handlebar and brake using hand or foot brakes. Most models have a range between 10-30 miles per charge, depending on the battery size, motor power, and rider weight.
E-scooters are poised to become a more integral part of urban transportation. As technology advances, we may see longer battery life, improved safety features, and enhanced connectivity (like app-based locking and tracking). With more cities recognizing the benefits of micro-mobility, e-scooter-friendly infrastructure is also likely to grow, further boosting their popularity as a green, accessible travel option.
