Electric Transportation

Choosing an alternative to commuting by car can be a good decision for the environment and for your health. With a vehicle like a class 1 or class 3 electric bike, you can engage in moderate exercise while avoiding the extreme exertion that leaves you tired and sweaty at your destination. Even with more passive e-vehicles, like an electric scooter or a class 2 e-bike with a throttle, you are engaging your muscles to balance and steer in a way that you wouldn’t if driving a car.

If you have a long commute, you can also use an electric vehicle as last-mile transportation—the vehicle that gets you to and from the local public transit stop or station. That way, you can brighten your day with a little fresh air on the way. Additionally, e-transportation is great for local errands and for joyriding.

If you are planning to use your electric vehicle for fun, look at electric powersport vehicles, like go-karts and dirt bikes. They offer the same fun as gas-powered options but with less noise and no fumes. And, because they produce zero emissions, they’re a more environmentally friendly way to enjoy off-road adventures.

Electric bicycles and e-scooters are the most common electric rideables on the market for good reason. Riding a scooter is easy to pick up, and many people learn to ride a bike when they are children. The bike design also has the advantage of being able to support bike gear racks, baskets and bags in case you want to pick up groceries or bring work materials with you.

If you want to explore more options when selecting the best electric vehicle for you, consider a hoverboard for a fun and futuristic riding experience. These self-balancing scooters are great for short-distance travel, offering a smooth and intuitive way to get around.

With any electric vehicle, pay attention to max speed and max operating range (how far you can go on one charge) as both will be relevant to your activities. Different vehicles also have max weight capacities, and some are oriented towards youth while others cater to adults. Finally, don’t forget to always invest in and wear safety gear, such as a helmet, for personal protection. If you plan to use your electric vehicle at night, look for models with built-in lights or reflective elements for better visibility and safety.
