You might not notice it or have rarely given it a second thought. But in hindsight, you will later admit that electric scooters have become more and more popular for many reasons, effortlessly gliding into many people’s lifestyles, including yours, riding, commuting…having fun like never before. 

There were skeptics who regarded the electric scooter as a shallow gimmick. But opinions are changing. The benefits of the electric scooter are becoming more and more plain and visible.

What do teens and adults in Australia think about electric scooters? That they are a handy, versatile, and a fun way of getting around? Spot on! But then, the reasons you, yes you, should get an e-scooter for yourself is that you will discover how it helps to improve your life almost right after.


  1. Viable way of commuting

When you look at the statistics for inner-city travel, the average trip is about 7 miles or so, and the average travel time is 1 hour 10 minutes. Therefore, the average speed of a commute is just 6.4 kph.

The commuters who no longer want to travel at a snail’s pace may have considered riding a bike to work. But, just the thought of arriving at the office hot, smelly and sweaty is not really a pleasant option to take for many.

What gives then? How about an electric scooter as the better option for commuting to work? Even the slowest electric scooter can travel up to 15 kph, which is considerably faster than the city traffic. Electric scooters give the rider the benefits of traveling much faster than if one chose to walk the same journey on foot. And the bonus is that you, the rider would no longer be smelly, sweaty, looking crumpled, feeling hot and tired, and stressed.

Commuting with an electric scooter instead of riding a bike means that you don’t have to lock it up outside your workplace. Cyclists tend to worry if their bikes parked outside the building or place of work will be stolen at the end of the day.

If you are an e-scooter owner, you can just fold up your electric scooter and carry it to work, either hide it under your desk, in a locker, or in a safe unobtrusive corner of the office area.

How the speed of electric scooters impact riders is simple home truth. E-scooters are fast enough for people to ride them in bike lanes yet small enough to ride on the pavement if needed and allowed. Many people have realized they could really benefit using an e-scooter as a faster way to get to work.


  1. Great for getting some leisure time

Did you know that electric scooters are not just good for urban commuting but also for a bit of fun recreation? It’s like getting the best of both worlds: You can use either the top-performing recreational scooters for commuting like the Mearth RS Pro long range e-scooter and the GTS EVO, an on-and-off-terrain, heavy duty electric scooter.

If you’re riding an electric scooter for the first time, you will be impressed by the acceleration and torque produced by the motor. It almost feels like surfing a wave of torque as the throttle is used. The motors are virtually silent, which adds to the ‘feel good’ sensation.

Mearth GTS EVO are awesome recreational electric scooters and are fun to ride. They’re reasonably priced too. As top-tier and high performance, durable electric scooters, they’ve proven themselves when it comes to speed and power. Weighing 41 lbs. a bit heavier, but very capable of traversing different places, on different surfaces, up and down hill, with different riding modes – from eco mode, sport mode and sport + mode.

There is no comparison between mountain bikes and the Mearth GTS EVO 2023 model. What you have is an excellent personal mobility device that offers great value for money. In addition to the loads of fun and unstoppable adventure you’ll experience riding the Mearth GTS MAX EVO. This scooter gives you fast acceleration, a top speed of around 70 kph, and multiple, first-rate braking systems. 

Mearth GTS and GTS MAX EVO 2023 have a splendid feature—it folds up without hassle so you can carry it and put it inside your car’s trunk. 


  1. Talk about low maintenance

Electric scooters have the undeniable benefit of being very low maintenance. Their simple structure means that you don’t have to worry about rebuilding it every few weeks or that too many things are going wrong with it.

There is also no need to have fluids or oils to change. The minimal moving parts within the e-scooter don’t need replacing, if ever, often. Buying a high quality electric scooter like the Mearth S, S Pro, RS or RS Pro, GTS EVO, helps you avoid potential headaches when it comes to repair or maintenance.


  1. Portable and compact - absolutely

One of the primary reasons people buy an electric scooter is that they are compact and portable. The knowledge that you can fold them up and safely put them away is an excellent feature many people appreciate, especially by those that live in small apartments that don’t have storage space, or don’t have a garage or parking space. 

Plus, the convenience of being able to carry their scooter into their apartment means that theft is not going to be an issue. Another good thing is that since e-scooters are compact and portable, they can be carried and brought inside a public transport like bus or train. After getting off the public transport, commuters can use their scooters to complete the last mile or so from the bus stop or train station. This ready and convenient option cuts the commuter’s travel time.

Another trivia discovered is that aside from urban dwellers that enjoy the portability of electric scooters, those who own boats, caravans, campers, etc. also use e-scooters as a fun and convenient way to get around city scapes and nature sights without having the need for or being dependent using their car.


  1. Savings mean a fatter wallet

True, not all electric scooters are cheap, and you do get what you pay for. But the cost of buying an electric scooter is a whole lot lower than buying a car, add to that the price of charging up an electric scooter is next to nothing when compared to filling a car’s fuel tank.

And it doesn’t end there. When compared to using public transport, a scooter is much cheaper than that of riding a public transport or a cab, in the long run especially when you see the accumulated receipts. When you consider all the other expenses that come with car ownership, you can see what it all adds up: tax, insurance, servicing and repairs are not cheap to the driver. 

It is no surprise therefore, why more and more people are using electric scooters either as their primary or top alternative mode of transport. Savings is a great motivator.


  1. Open air, fresh air

Staying inside, being cooped up in a car or in a crowded public transport like a bus or van for a long while can be stifling. It’s not a cool way to start and conclude your day. Riding an electric scooter, however, feeling the cool breeze on your skin while your zooming your way in the open air is in itself is a great stress reliever.

You can just imagine the fun factor of zipping along the roads and pavements inches off the ground. Oh, what tremendous fun. Either way, it is a relaxing way to put you in a good mood in the mornings or calm down after a hard day at work.


  1. Public transport hassle, be gone

Common comment by commuters on public transport like trains or buses: “an unpleasant experience and unreliable.” Now if you were given the opportunity to end your travel woes, no more worries on delayed arrival of the bus, the answer is obvious. Absolute winner thumbs up is the electric scooter. Economics and efficiency are the deciding factors.

It’s not magic, it’s what you call meeting expectations. Electric scooters allow you, the rider to get to work exactly when you need to and enable you to arrive home at a reasonable time. This redounds to making your life a lot easier to manage. The reliability aspect of using or riding an e-scooter gives you time to enjoy other things, instead of miserably waiting for the frequent late arrival of a bus. Riding an electric scooter allows you to stay follow physical distancing, remaining independent while you commute.


  1. Eco-friendly as they can get

Riding an e-scooter is actually a great way to do your bit to contribute to the environment. When riding one, the individual does not supply poor air quality to the already polluted air we experience in cities. As more people leave their cars at home and ride on electric scooters, the quality of air in the city will vastly improve.

The carbon cost of producing and shipping an electric scooter is a fraction of a car’s. By reducing the number of cars on the road, carbon emissions are sure to decrease. How? Opting to ride an electric scooter to go to their work or do errands do not just help ease traffic jam but also lower air pollution emitted by carbon monoxide (CO2). As is the directive by many government initiatives for cities around the world, to have low emission zones. The good news is that electric scooter riders are not affected by those restrictions. And that is the best kind of news, favoring electric scooter owners and riders.

As private e-scooter owners are anticipating for a more favorable e-scooter trial conclusion in NSW, a positive update will be a reassuring anchor to drive and improve the quality of life of commuters all over NSW.
