SCOOTER FACTS

About Electronic Bikes and Cycles

If you are in the market for a new e-bike, here are a few suggestions to keep in mind when you go shopping for your zero emission vehicle.

Wattage

What is the exact size of the motor? Some dealers will tell you the maximum output, peak output or high output wattage and not the actual watt size. If a dealer claims the motor is 500 watt, compare it to another 500 watt e-bike, Green Planet Scooters sells only fully optimized 500 watt continuous brush-less motors.

Batteries

There are some batteries with a low life of only 100 charges and then there are batteries that can be recharged more than 300 times, there are batteries with 15AH and there are batteries with 20AH, A Green Planet Scooter comes with 6 month warranty on 20AH & 22AH batteries with a life span of at least 300 charges.

If you are looking for a high quality top of the line e-cycle, come to Green Planet Scooters!

Operating a Green Planet Scooter

These scooters operate very much like a motorcycle, or motorized scooter. However, the need to obtain a license, vehicle registration, license plate, and automotive insurance is not required.

Can youth operate these vehicles?

Yes, so long as they are 16 years of age and wear appropriate helmet protection at all times.

Pollution

Driving a 13 mpg SUV instead of an average car for a year wastes more energy than leaving your refrigerator door open for 6 years, leaving your bathroom light burning for 30 years or leaving your colour 

television turned on for 28 years.

Countries throughout the world recognize the need to move to alternative modes of transportation, as limited natural resources grow scarcer. Governments also look to zero emission vehicles to combat pollution in their cities. This is why electric power vehicles are becoming more and more important.

Emission Concerns

Green Planet Scooters let you enjoy the outdoors, and provide the fun you deserve. Where hills, headwinds and longer distances were once limiting factors, our electric bikes and scooters have removed these boundaries and left nothing but wide-open freedom and fun.

What sort of fuel do these bikes use?

Being electric, these bikes require no gas. This means that these vehicles output zero emissions.

Environmental Effects

By purchasing an e-cycle, you as the rider should know that you are doing a great service to our planet. Emissions free vehicles should be on the minds of all individuals hoping to make a difference for the planet Earth. Moreover, you are not paying a premium to ride these scooters and e-bikes. They are not only economical, but since they require no fuel, your savings will show year after year.

Your choice of transportation has a greater effect on the environment than any other choice you make as a consumer. You don't have to get rid of your car, just use it less.
