Earlier this week, Pure Electric, the maker of the world's most advanced electric scooter, announced the launch of two new machines that the company claims will'reinvent' the e-scooter. As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to grow in popularity, the company says its new machines will make riding an e-scooter more affordable and accessible than ever before. These new machines are set to launch in June, and the company plans to offer an introductory rate of $399 for the two machines.
Safety & Safety Regulations
Despite its rapid development, shared e-scooter services are still far from the mainstream in Europe. A survey of citizens shows that just 0.3% used e-scooters on a daily basis. It's not just because they're expensive. People also are concerned about safety and safety regulations.
According to a populous report, women are more likely to use shared Pure Electric than men. They also use them for fun. The study surveyed 38 people in Munich, and found that trips on e-scooters were mainly for shopping, leisure and commuting.
Younger Citizens
The results of the survey also showed that e-scooters were used mainly by younger citizens. About 12.6% of survey respondents had a scooter of their own, while just 2.5% used shared e-scooters.
The survey also showed that there were concerns about the safety of e-scooters. Riding on cyclepaths or sidewalks could lead to a fine of EUR135 ($385).
China Leads the World in EVs
Almost half of the world's EVs are made in China, and that share is growing rapidly. China has spent more than a decade building an electric vehicle industry. With more than a thousand manufacturers now making electric vehicles, China is poised to lead the world in EV production and sales.
Although China has built an insurmountable lead in the electric vehicle race, there are a number of challenges ahead. For one, China needs to be able to compete with more advanced automakers outside of its borders. Chinese EV makers will need to be able to meet the requirements of both domestic and foreign markets. They will need to establish manufacturing hubs outside of their home country, or they may end up falling by the wayside.
New Models of E-Scooters
Several companies have launched new models of e-scooters in the last few years. While most of these vehicles are relatively expensive, there are some that offer great value for money. They offer an alternative to gas-powered cars and are much fun for adults. Besides being fun, e-scooters are also environmentally friendly. They can save up to 44,000 liters of gasoline each day. They also reduce emissions by an impressive amount.
University of North Carolina
A new study by the University of North Carolina tested the carbon footprint of a motorized scooter for adults and found that it's a relatively small amount. While it's not the smallest number in the world, it's a huge improvement over gasoline-powered cars. The study also found that the best e-scooters for adults were the Pure Advance Flex model and the Pure Advance+ model, both of which are waterproof and have 10-inch tubeless air filled tyres.
Payback Period for E-Scooters
Despite their cool factor, scooter companies are still saddled with marketing and operational costs, credit card fees and city permits. To make their model work, they need to convince cities to adopt a gentler fee structure. Fortunately, they are not alone in this regard.
The Bird e-scooter is a worthy mobility option, but they are not exactly cheap to run. A standard scooter will cost you approximately Rs 8,000 annually. On top of that, you will be paying for depreciation, insurance and charging.
Cutting-Edge Technologies
The best electric scooters of the day are packed with cutting-edge technologies. They also boast a longer battery warranty than their EV counterparts. Batteries cost less than they did five years ago. As a result, battery replacement costs can be well under Rs 25,000.
Traditional Scooters
Founded by Adam Norris, the father of F1 whiz child Lando Norris, Pure Electric launches two new machines that reinvent the e-scooter. Unlike traditional scooters, Pure Electric's e-scooters feature foot pads on either side of the central chassis, allowing riders to stand with their feet side by side. Pure Electric's scooters also feature a lower central chassis for improved stability.
Pure Electric is planning new products for the future. It is working on developing new markets for its scooters. In the meantime, it is seeking funding to expand its reach in Europe. Pure has launched a crowdfunding campaign on CrowdCube. Investors can contribute as little as PS10 to the cause, helping the company achieve its mission.
Final Words:
The company plans to sell its e-scooters via third-party retail stores. It has also partnered with the UK's largest technology retailer, Currys.
