Electric Scooter Is the New Way Of Travelling!

( Electric Scooter )

It is proved that electric scooter provide efficient ways of travelling over short distances. At the same time, you ensure that you do not spend a large amount of money on the same. With this new technology, the vehicles are not only efficient, but also affordable. Indeed, the cost of operating personal electric vehicles is about 1/20th the cost of operating a fuel driven one of the same capacity.

Electric vehicles are more enjoyable to use than the other ones. They hardly require any efforts on your part and thus, will surely get you a lot of attention as well as praise. The noise generated by these vehicles is usually so low, that the loudest noise emanating from them is the caused due to the friction between the tyres and the road.

They contain fewer moving parts than their liquid-fuelled counterparts and thus, prove to be more reliable. The cost of electricity consumed by these vehicles is about half of that for the liquid- fuelled ones.

Electric scooters offer another advantage of extremely low costs when compared to the fuel-driven ones. Some of the advantages of electric scooters over the other ones is it can be driven effortlessly and hence, driving them is an enjoyable experience.

They operate very quietly. Indeed, in most of them, the loudest noise emanating from them is due to the friction between the road and the tyres. Their fuel cost is about half of that of the fuel-driven scooters. All electrically driven vehicles have a battery or their assembly, motor and other components that link them all together. It is their quality that decides the overall quality, reliability and durability of the vehicle concerned. Thus, it is important these components are properly matched. The motors of such vehicles can be of two types viz. the direct drive ones and those that implement the drive transfer technology by using a belt or a chain. Some can even make use of a roller that uses friction to transfer motion.

The commuter and campus vehicles we provide have the sealed hub motor technology that are of the direct drive type. Thus, are virtually free of maintenance and prove to be very efficient.

The brakes are an important safety measure and hence, we have provided our vehicles with heavy duty ones. Some of them utilise the disk brake technology whereas others are drum based. To ensure safety, we have seen to it that our brakes work in all weather conditions.
