Change your commute with an electric scooter, bike or scooter

Life in the city has become, in some cases, difficult. Endless appointments, too much traffic, little parking space. At the same time, the energy crisis has skyrocketed the cost of fuel and made the use of the car on a daily basis extremely unprofitable. So maybe it’s time to change some of your habits, at least when it comes to transportation? By choosing to buy an electric vehicle, such as a skateboard, a bicycle or an electric scooter, you live more “green” and save gas costs, which, in this period, are not small at all.

Most people want to change their commute. The time has come!
According to data from a McKinsey survey conducted at the end of 2021 of people aged 18 to 65 who commute in any way at least once a day, 70% note that they would like to use a bicycle, moped (electric or traditional) or electric scooter for their daily commute. One of the reasons why most people turn to alternative solutions is, of course, that they want to reduce the use of cars. According to a relevant survey by Focus Bari (July 2022), more than half of Greek car drivers note that they will reduce car use within the next six months, while one in five have already done so. In fact, the main reason they want to use the car less is related to the high cost of maintenance, but also the cost of fuel.

Great interest in electric skates, bikes and scooters
Shared electric scooters have become very popular for several years, when it comes to short commutes within cities. And in Greece, companies have been operating that allow you to unlock them and use them for journeys, by paying a small fee via mobile app and electronic payment. Now, of course, the electric skates they are also preferred by many as privately owned means of transportation, as they offer many advantages, saving energy but also valuable time. You will now find a wide variety of models on the market and more and more people are choosing this solution for short journeys within the city or even for hybrid commuting (that is, going with the skate to the metro or some other fixed means of travel).

In addition to electric skates, they have recently gained a lot of interest in the market electrical bicycles, especially after the subsidies offered for their purchase by the state, which reach 40% on the pre-tax price. Essentially, these are bicycles that have a battery, as well as an electric motor that works as an auxiliary, offering the rider the extra power he needs especially on uphill routes. Otherwise, their function and appearance approximates normal bikes with gears and brakes, however, they ease you where a normal bike would have you exhausted a little more. In addition, they allow you to reach your destination more comfortably, without breaking a sweat on uphills.

In addition, in the market you will also find electric scooters, which have large batteries and an electric motor, achieving speeds that can be compared, in some cases, with gasoline engines. And in this case, we must note that you can make a new purchase, taking advantage of the subsidy offered by the state (indeed, the purchase of a second battery is also subsidized).
