Bicycle, scooter, scooter, quadricycle, etc. Discover several good reasons to go electric below, as well as the best models available on the market today.
How about switching to electric transport for your daily commute? This is a question that more and more people are asking themselves today, when urban transport such as bicycles, scooters or scooters want to be more ecological, but also more practical and more economical. Whether you opt for a VAE (electrically assisted bicycle), a scooter, a scooter or even a quadricycle, electric transport brings many advantages.
Electric transport is better for the environment than using a petrol or diesel car. While the ecological question is at the center of attention today, the choice of low-CO2 transport is to be highlighted. As a bonus, compared to the car or public transport, vehicles such as the scooter, the VAE or the scooter allow you to avoid traffic jams in the big cities. Whether for work or leisure, you will spend less time in daily transport.
Electric transport has another big advantage over public transport: it is reliable. With the common strikes at the moment and the recurring problems encountered by public transport, it is difficult to be on time every day when relying only on the metro, bus or tram. By buying your own electric vehicle, you avoid all these worries.
It should also be noted that with the ban on electric scooters looming in Paris, if they were your main means of transport until then, it will be time to anticipate and buy your own vehicle. On April 2, the inhabitants of the capital voted to ban self-service scooters in Paris. These should therefore disappear on August 31, 2023.
Finally, if electric transport is so attractive today, it is also because it is an economical solution for daily travel. The price of oil continues to rise and a full tank of gas easily exceeds €100 in 2023. As for cars, the cost of construction is increasing, as is the number of safety equipment. As a result, cars are getting more expensive every year.
In 2020, the average price of a new car was €26,789, compared to €19,767 in 2010. Le Figaro also reports that, since the start of the Covid crisis in January 2020, the price of used cars has increased by 43.7%. Whether new or used, the car really does not seem to be the preferred solution if the budget is an important criterion.
Opposite, the average price of a VAE in 2022 is only 1965€. That of a scooter is 455€ and an electric scooter costs at least 3500€. As a bonus, for smaller budgets, it is possible to take advantage of a state subsidy of 300 to 3000€ to help you invest in this type of transport. The amount of aid depends on the category of vehicle purchased. They go for example up to 2000€ for a cargo bike and up to 900€ of ecological bonus for scooters.
But if the choice of electric transport finally seems obvious, there is still a difficult task to perform: make the right choice and buy the vehicle that will meet all your needs. Several criteria are to be taken into account in the selection of your electric transport and while the models have multiplied in recent years, it is becoming really difficult to buy a model without the advice of a professional.
