GO GREEN! - GET SCOOTERISED! Environmentally conscious people ride scooters. Geraldine Bray
Here at ScootaCo, we are proud of our many environmentally conscious customers who are purchasing scooters to use as either their main form of transport or as an alternative to a second car: It certainly proves that people are taking direct responsibility to protect our planet.
But how is a scooter good for the environment?
Firstly, they use a lot less non-renewable fossil fuel than an average car, making them about three to four times more fuel efficient. This is a drastic reduction in fuel consumption, especially when you multiply this by the amount of cars on the road. It also translates to a huge saving in your fuel bills (bonus!).
In turn, burning less fuel over greater travelling distances means a large reduction in the amount of exhaust fumes being released into the atmosphere, cutting down the damage made to our environment.
Asthmatics should also be appreciate scooters, as the reduction in air pollution means less respiratory issues. Exhaust fumes have also been linked to an increase in heart attacks. If the environment isn't enough cause to see the benefits of a scooter, then surely our health is.
Scooters are more environmentally friendly from the very beginning. Compared to a car, a lot less materials are used in their production due to their smaller frames and reduced weight. Therefore fewer natural resources are consumed.
And talking of weight and size, a scooter certainly has less impact on our roads and you can fit a lot more scooters into a carpark, no matter how you look at it.
Have you considered the huge amount of people who are driving around in their cars, without any passengers, causing unnecessary environmental damage and chewing up excessive natural resources? Now is the time to consider healthier alternatives.
When you are choosing your scooter, some are certainly 'greener' than others. 4-stroke's are definitely the way to go and a catalytic converter helps reduce toxicity of emissions. A good quality scooter from a reputable brand is a must to ensure no emission leaks are present as well as ensuring your safety and reliability.
The Piaggio Zip 4T 50cc is the perfect choice for the environmentally conscious. With an economical & friendly 4-stroke engine, teamed with a healthy catalytic convertor, this little super scoot meets the rigid Euro 3 compliant regulations and comes standard with a heap of other great features. You can also be assured that you are buying a quality machine from the original pioneers who have been mastering scooters for over 60 years.
