What is an electric scooter?

The scooter, previously called scooter, was only composed of a handlebar on a board equipped with two or three wheels depending on the model chosen. Today, the electric scooter is much more modern and sophisticated. It is equipped with a motor and a braking system that allows it to move.

Over the years, the electric scooter has made an important place for itself in the field of urban mobility. In the city, it is not easy to get around by car, which often forces citizens to use public transport. The electric scooter, on the other hand, allows you to travel over short or long distances in cities. In addition, it presents a real advantage in terms of saving time and ecology. The electric scooter allows you to find freedom in your daily journeys while saving money.
