Santa Clara, CA - Environmentally conscious people are thinking green this Christmas. Instead of expensive cars or gas scooters and motorcycles that pollute more than cars, many high school and college students are asking their parents for planet friendly electric bicycles and scooters.
Electric bicycles and scooters are perfect for people who:
• Care about the environment
• Commute less than 20 miles
• Run errands close to home
• Live on or near campus
• Hate spending time looking for parking spots
• Carry a bike on public transportation
• Don’t want to waste money on car expenses and gas
According to AAA the cost of driving a car 15,000 miles a year (depreciation, insurance, maintenance, registration, and fuel) is 52 cents a mile. Compare that to 3 cents a mile for an electric bicycle and 10 cents a mile for an electric scooter.
“New hi-tech and stylish electric bicycles like the A2B and fun to ride electric scooters like the E-1600 are great alternatives for students who need transportation but not the expense of a car,” said Douglas Schwartz, President & CEO of ELV Motors, Inc.
In California electric bicycles fewer than 1000 watts do not require a license, insurance, or registration.
They can travel 20 miles on a 3 cent charge at speeds up to 20 mph. They can be driven anywhere a bike can go as well as taken on most forms of public transportation. And if you want a good work out, simply turn the motor off and start pedaling. (Check laws in your state)
Electric scooters under 2hp in California require a M2 motor scooter license, insurance and a one time registration fee. They can travel up to 40 miles on a 10 cent charge with a top speed of 30mph. With storage both under the seat and in the back, and with the ability to carry a passenger, they can replace a car for many errands. (Check laws in your state)
With prices under $4,000, even Santa would want one.
