E-scooters, or electric scooters, are small, lightweight vehicles powered by electric motors, designed for personal transportation. Typically featuring two wheels, a platform for standing, and handlebars for steering, e-scooters are often used for short-distance travel in urban environments. They are equipped with rechargeable batteries, which provide the necessary energy to propel the scooter.
Users can either own e-scooters or rent them through various e-scooter sharing services available in many cities. E-scooters are a popular alternative to traditional forms of transport, contributing to reduced traffic congestion and lower emissions. They are designed for convenience, allowing riders to navigate through crowded areas quickly and easily. Safety features such as lights, bells, and disc brakes are commonly included, although regulations regarding their use can vary widely depending on local laws.
E-scooters have gained significant popularity as part of the growing trend toward micromobility solutions, emphasizing sustainable urban transport options.
