Electric Scooter Toronto

Gas has gone up again.

Thank god, I don’t own a car anymore. It’s a total money pit.

When I’m out and about on my Electric Scooter driving around Toronto, many people (especially drivers in cars)  ask me:

“How does it feel riding an e-bike?”

I can say it moves at a decent speed (30 to 33 km) and it doesn’t make nearly as much noise as a gas powered motorcycle or scooter.

I feel more safe on an Electric Scooter than riding a standard bicycle, because the bike have lights, a loud horn, mirrors and flashing turn signals. Not to mention I have to wear a helmet (by law) whereabouts most most on people riding standard bicycles don’t.

I find myself more aware of the surroundings around me. And trust me that is hugh factor when you’re driving in downtown rush hour traffic.

I have owned my Electric Scooter for a little over a year, and I can honestly say it was one of the best  purchases I have made in my life.

Check out this video link to see what it is like to ride an Electric Scooter.

It gives you an general idea of the speed of a electric scooter.

Maybe this footage will give ”non-riders” a better understanding of the wonderful world of electric scooter/e-bike riding and what they’re missing…

Keep your batteries charged!
