More than 80% of trips that are carried out inside cities are individual or with two people. Therefore, the fact of being able to travel with light vehicles can not only satisfy the needs of sustainability and dynamism but also help to make urban mobility much more agile.

When we talk about environmental pollution caused by CO2 emissions, we quickly think about industry and cars. But motorcycles and scooters also generate carbon dioxide, and therefore, the use of electric vehicles are an increasingly implanted alternative especially to people who are aware of a greener planet.

 

 

Advantages of electricity to move around the city

Moving on electric vehicles through the city presents a series of advantages for the user, for the rest of pedestrians, for the city and for the planet.

 

Drivers

Economic saves

 

The driver of the vehicle carries significant financial savings. Although the acquisition of the vehicle implies an investment, its repayment is usually carried out in a short time as we have to consider:

  • the economic charges (currently between € 0.4 and € 1 / 100Km).
  • the lack of maintenance that they usually have (they are electric motors, without oil, filters, spark plugs or friction in general).
  • The cheapest insurance prices (compared to traditional vehicles).
  • Some municipal benefits (there are places where certain taxes are not paid, such as mechanical traction vehicles, park areas…).
Silence and comfort

 

You also get an advantage of comfort in journeys.
 
Circulating with an electric vehicle provides a silence and smooth driving that makes travel much more pleasant.
 
Electric vehicles do not generate shaking, heat…
Philosophy of life

 

Likewise, knowing that through our journeys we do not generate gases makes the awareness and environmental sensitivity clear. The concept of knowing that we are contributing our grain of sand to leaving a better planet is already part of a philosophy of life.
 
Hence we always recommend rational use and driving thinking with other users and using the appropriate protection measures (helmet, gloves, protections …).

Pedestrians and other drivers

Less emissions

 

The fact that there are more and more electric vehicles living in the city causes less emissions to be generated and the air has less pollution.

Adaptation period

 

Each time the cities have more spaces where these light electric vehicles can circulate, so that coexistence is gradually becoming easier and more comfortable for everyone.

Agility

 

If we consider that more than 80% of urban journeys are single person or two people, driving agile vehicles and occupying little space in the road causes global agility to increase.

For the city

Urban Mobility

 

That the majority of the vehicles used are zero emissions and that they occupy little space, it makes urban mobility much better than noteworthy.

Green City

 

The light vehicles that once used are removed from the road (skateboards, wheels, light scooters…), make the spaces also freestanding and provide aspects such as the parking lot.

Sharing

 

Systems such as sharing (not having a vehicle owned but sharing the vehicle and only using it when it is really needed), causes the number of vehicles to be dumped, vehicle density in circulation or even and all parking problems.

For planet

Ecologic awareness

 

Increasingly, we must become acquiring ecological awareness. Moving without generating emissions and making a rational purchase of vehicles are two factors that, despite requiring a small effort, do not have a cost too high and the effects we can have are enormous. We must all leave a more sustainable planet than we have now.

Range

 

Moving on electric vehicles is a significant saving not only from the ecological but also economic point of view. Currently, the cost of displacing electric vehicles is around 0.45 – € / 100 km.
 
If we also consider that many batteries take advantage of the braking to load, it makes the city the most appropriate environment for using this type of vehicle. If we take into account also the minimum maintenance requested by these vehicles, it makes the investment in the acquisition amortised in a short time.
 
And every time we are working on increasing the capacity of the batteries and the conversion efficiency, so that the autonomies will be increasingly longer.

Recharge time

 

Manufacturers offer different charging times based on the characteristics of the battery.
 
They usually return between 3 and 8 hours for full loads depending on the vehicle and most manufacturers also offer fast charging options, which in just under 30 minutes already reaches 80% of the total.
 
In the time of making a coffee or reviewing the news and / or social networks, we already have our vehicle ready to circulate again.

 

Recharge points

There are light vehicles that without any type of adaptation can be loaded into the home sockets in the same way that mobile phones, appliances or any electrical accessory are loaded.
 
Of other vehicles that with a simple adapter that is included in the vehicle can also be charged to the home socket but that ensure a fast recharge with optimum compatibility to 220 V. And not only that but some models (for example Doohan scooters and motorcycles or Lehe S1 bicycle), which allow the removal of the battery of the vehicle and that the recharge can be anywhere.
 
Finally, some vehicles require an adapted recharging system that is usually installed in the private garage or in public areas, which are increasingly more.
