If you are looking for a basic electric city scooter don't go under 200$ price, but if you need an off-road model, don't go under 400$. If you stick to the good quality brands. I go into more details about finding a good "price to quality ratio" here.

Conclusion

You don’t need oil changing or cleaning or cooling systems. Therefore, there is a huge saving on after sales expenses. In general, electric motors are way easier to maintain compared to gas-powered engines.

It has been long that we are witnessing severe life-threatening effects of climate change such as sudden temperature rise, severe floods, droughts and more.
