Why choose an electric scooter for your commute?

We talk a lot about how convenient “commuter electric scooters” are. They are fast and accessible to almost everyone, so the number of people commuting to work on scooters is rapidly increasing.

Why should you choose an electric scooter for your commute?

There are many factors to consider when planning your daily commute. There are also usually many transportation options to weigh. Typically, the two main areas that influence this decision are how long it will take to get from A to B, and how much it will most likely cost.

We’ve examined the pros and cons of several transportation options, so let’s take a look at how electric scooters compare to other commuting options.

Electric Scooter Commute VS Bicycle Commute

According to our research, the speed on a bicycle is 9.6 mph (15.5 km/h), while on an electric scooter it is 17-20 mph (32.2 km/h).AJOOSOS’s electric scooters can even reach a maximum speed of even 40-50 mph. Bicycles are roughly half the speed of an electric scooter (and this doesn’t include rented electric scooters).

In the “bike vs. electric scooter” speed battle, the latter wins.

Another benefit of riding an electric scooter is that you don’t have to pedal. If you’ve ever ridden an electric mobility scooter, you’ve probably had the experience of quickly setting off from a standstill while the bicyclist is still rushing around in the saddle, meanwhile, you’re still far away.

Electric Scooter Commute VS Commuting by Car

There is no doubt that electric scooters are the best alternative to cars for commuting. In this day and age, driving a car may no longer be the best answer. For certain celebrations and events, a car is perfectly appropriate, but the expense involved (not to mention being stuck in site traffic and then not being able to park) makes it an expensive endeavor.

For those with a slightly shorter commute, using an electric scooter may be faster, especially if the commute is to a busy city or community facility. In addition to the basic costs of owning and operating a car, there may be parking fees to spend. There are some lucky people for whom this is not an issue, but on the other hand, automobile parking for employees traveling in cars and trucks can be expensive and comes right out of their paychecks. With an electric mobility scooter that can be easily slid under a desk or locked in a bike locker, you can save even more money than you’d rather invest in something other than car parking.

Electric Scooter Commute VS Bus, Train, Tube

Buses, no one particularly enjoys commuting to work in a busy city by bus. While there’s nothing wrong with buses per se, it’s only natural that they won’t make it on time if they get stuck in a traffic jam or break down. These potential breakdowns can make them unpredictable and erratic, not to mention a break with potentially unwelcome strangers. Commuting to and from work is not a good time to take the bus.

If you take the train to work, you may be traveling 10-25 miles beyond what the electric mobility scooter array can provide. That said, electric mobility scooters can also help you combine your commute with the train. Unless you live next to a station, you’re likely to have a commute where you may stroll, take the bus, bike or utilize an electric mobility scooter to overcome the problems you encounter.

When traveling by train, subway or city transportation (each city has its own favorite nickname), you can use an electric mobility scooter on your way to and from work. Subway speeds vary greatly and the typical speed of each section is extremely different.

That said, we think there’s a lot more to commuting than simply speed. In fact, we’ve all been in situations where we’ve stood for long periods of time in a sweltering cab, crammed in with strangers beside us, feeling like sardines and just hoping we’re next. Why put yourself through this agony when you can float with the wind and not hesitate like a bird?

The financial cost of owning an electric scooter is much lower than owning other means of transportation such as a car or motorcycle.
