Why e-Scooters Should be Banned 2021

written by John Girdle

In a world where human convenience and comfort is the sole purpose for further advancements, there’s little surprise to why e-Scooters are a thing. And this makes them popular among users. They are extremely convenient and easy to use.

They are faster than walking or bicycling for the average person. It’s cheap if you rent them making them a good value deal. And it’s fun to ride it even though it’s slow. There’s something mesmerizing about the simplicity. The convenience, fun-factor, ease of use are why e-Scooters are a popular trend now.  

For all the advantages they have, they have a direct disadvantage and more disadvantages linked to them. While e-Scooters are fun and convenient to ride, they do come with their disadvantages. And personally, for me, these outweigh the fun factor and the convenience of using them.

Over this article we’re going to take a look at how safe electric scooters are and their environmental impact. But as a concerned citizen, I will try to explain why a ban is necessary at least for now.  

Why e-Scooters Should be Banned

Electric scooters should be banned for numerous reasons starting with them being unsafe to use on he roads to them being unreliable and stopping on long distance rides. Though they have managed to bring about a form of micro-mobility, there are some drawbacks with owning or even renting an electric scooter.

With the world changing at a steady pace, our lives are going to be entangled with the likes of electric vehicles and self-riding bikes. This does not mean that we’re ready just yet, there are things which have to be considered before these micro modes of transportation can finally take over the world.

Let’s look at the possible reasons as to why electric scooters should be banned.

Disadvantages of an Electric Scooter To the Environment

Why e-Scooters should be banned

This is probably the most concerning of all the disadvantages since the effects of this will be felt longer than the others. E-Scooters run on electricity, which may sound fantastic because of zero-emission. It’s not the case always, because the source of electricity plays a vital part in the emission or carbon footprint of the scooter itself.  

  • E-Scooters use batteries and these are massive. Depending on the type of batteries used they make the cause more or less hazardous to the environment. The production of batteries is extremely intricate and this makes e-scooters a bad environmental product because greenhouse gasses are emitted while manufacturing batteries for electric scooters. No matter the type of battery, there is always going to be waste and pollution due to them.  
Why e-Scooters should be banned
  • The cost of operating an e-Scooter is high making them less valuable than traditional bikes. Whether you buy or rent an e-scooter, the cheaper alternative will be buying or renting a traditional bike. Maintenance cost of e-Scooters is high. 
  • Selling an e-Scooter after you buy one can be a headache because they tend to age worse than normal bikes. This shouldn’t be a reason to ban them per-se. But the high buyer’s remorse and the poor aging factor means they are going to be obsolete and useless. Making them a waste of materials in the near future.

Until all these concerns are validated, it is better to ban them. They can be introduced later when the time is right and we are all ready for them. 

Due to Safety concerns

Why e-Scooters should be banned

The other main harm the cause is the lack of laws allowing anyone to drive them. Personal experience, I have seen kids driving it, they rash drive and cause a lot of havoc. I have seen them crash too.

  • It’s a menace and since these are relatively cheap for people with money, this makes them ride without any consequences. Anyone can use them; a license is not required and there are no laws around them. They are considered like riding bicycles which only makes the situation worse. 
Why e-Scooters should be banned
  • This coupled with the fact that the bikes themselves are not completely reliable makes it hard to recommend them. There is too much at risk. I have personally had a brake failure while riding, and this was using a rental bike. The most concerning issue is the safety and quality assessment is not up to the mark, I have had issues on multiple rides. 
  • Build quality, e-Scooters are not built tough, because they have to as light as possible so that the electricity required to run is less. Therefore, manufacturers take a gamble on the quality and use of lighter materials. I have known people, whose body-works have cracked due to minor accidents. This is also a safety concern as it can break while riding, putting the rider in harm. 
  • Stricter laws governing e-Scooters is a must and without them, the idea is a mess. Since no laws govern e-Scooters, people are constantly seen riding without helmets or protective gear. In the case of an accident, they are vulnerable to greater damage than usual.
Why e-Scooters should be banned
  • Motors are more susceptible to damage compared to bikes that use petrol and this only makes it a regular waste disposing machine. Remember not everything is recyclable and recycling requires energy increasing carbon footprint. 
  • The slower speeds of e-Scooters can make other powerful vehicles a headache to drive in because of scooters taking up space in front of them. This coupled by the fact there are no dedicated e-Scooter lanes.
Why e-Scooters should be banned
  • Allowing them to take up any space on the road frustrating the drivers of other vehicles. This increases the risk of an accident. E-Scooters are not so powerful and hence they can’t carry a pillion rider.

So, an e-scooter consumes the space of normal bike but can only carry a single person. Potentially increasing traffic. They don’t even have space for storage which is a major inconvenience.  

Convenience and ease of use of e-Scooters can induce laziness in people. People can flock towards these convenient machines, ignoring more physically intensive traversals like walking and cycling. This makes them harmful to the health of the user in the long run. And increases the risk of other health-related issues in the public. 

Disproportionately Affecting Those with Disabilities

Why e-Scooters Should be Banned?

The EV industry has grown at a phenomenal rate and while you are able to purchase a decent electric scooter online, there are a couple of rental companies that have added electric scooters to their inventory. These companies normally charge you for your ride based on the duration and distance covered.

You are able to pick up the scooter from a particular location and drop it off at another when you’re done. While some cities have docking stations for these electric scooters, many users tend to leave them on the side of the road or strewn on the footpath.

Those who use wheelchairs and require the sidewalk to commute are left helpless and in need of space to travel. It seems that until people start putting the needs of others before their own, it’s best to maintain a ban on these electric vehicles.

From Personal Experience

I have never owned an e-Scooter but I have used them a few times. I have to give it to them, they are fun to ride, convenient when it comes to booking, there’s a certain sense of simplicity to the whole process. But is not always a great option. Given the advantages, they still frustrate me, because it’s like a half-built experience. They have a lot of potentials but frankly, they aren’t ready, in fact, they are a far cry from being ready. 

I have had the bike run out of charge from 90+% to less than 40% before even reaching ¼ of the initially mentioned distance. And this is a frequent problem. Sometimes they can stop in the middle of the road which may lead to severe accidents. 

The idea, though great from e-Scooter lending companies, they are not executed well. The breakdowns, the low charges, the walking distance to a bike, the cost, and sometimes it’s really frustrating. They are slow and have a lot of complaints, like brake failure, minimal safety, bad headlights and more.

While there are advantages, but I hate to say it, we’re not ready for them. Maybe the future will paint a brighter, better picture for them.  

Should Electric Scooters be Banned or Regulated?

The main point to note is that a complete ban on electric scooters will not do any good. Rather, governments should regulate the use and maintenance of electric scooters by laying down some ground-rules. Regulating the use of electric scooters will have a better and positive impact on the environment than a complete ban.

Since they leave behind a rather smaller carbon foot-print than other traditional means of transportation, electric scooters should be permitted on public roads with certain limitations such as a capped speed limit, no riding on the footpath and no leaving the electric scooter lying around haphazardly.

While there’s a lot of time before these regulations are implemented, we have got to start acting today if we want to make a difference tomorrow and later on.

Takeaway

While e-scooters are fun, convenient and easy to use. They are also getting wildly accessible as days pass by, and we are not ready for them. There’s too much uncertainty about consistent performance. Safety issues, sub-par production quality, high maintenance, high carbon footprint and so on.

Unless most of these issues that I have spoken about are not addressed, they should be banned till then. There is a great future for them but now is not the time. Better manufacturing, better safety guidelines, instituting basic laws, and addressing the environmental harm caused by them are a must before they should be even considered for use.

Most of the other issues are quality of life improvements which are a welcome change. But when safety is a screaming concern, they should not be something that people should use. A ban is necessary though not what everyone would want, it is necessary for the time being.

Are Electric Scooters Worth It? 2021

by John Girdle
written by John Girdle

Electric scooters have been around for years now but they have been causing a stir in the market as they are growing in popularity. They are some of the best vehicles you can use to get around in a busy city or on large campuses. As they grow in popularity, you might wonder if you should get one or if they are worth it. 

But the main question of the hour is are they worth it?

Well, based on how the pros outweigh the cons, it’s pretty evident that Electric Scooters are way better than other traditional modes of transportation.

Over the course of the article i’ll take you through the advantages and disadvantages of owning an Electric Scooter and see if they’re a worthwhile means of micro-mobility in 2021.

Are Electric Scooters Worth It?

Electric Scooters are some of the most compact forms of transportation which are quick, sleek, and nifty little machines that can traverse through crowded cities in no time. While being cheap, convenient and easy to use, they are also the perfect travel companion you could own.

Read out to find if they are worth it for you, below is my unbiased opinion on electric scooters.  (I use an electric scooter to travel around too) 

The thing about electric scooters is that they kind of eliminate other means of transportation like bikes, public transport, cars and so on. Electric scooters are ideal modes of transportation and can be used in either one of the following scenarios.

  • Last Mile Vehicle – An electric scooter works as a great last mile option. All your traveling problems will be solved with an e-Scooter. Simply drive up to an area that’s close to work (if the streets are crowded or there’s a traffic jam) and pull out your scooter from the boot and ride it the rest of the way.
  • Full Ride Vehicle – You can even use an electric scooter for the full ride to school or work. However, it comes with a couple of limitations such as, to travel a distance of 4-6 miles to work, you will require a scooter that comes with a larger than normal battery. This tends to become an expensive affair. But if you’re able to charge your scooter at work or in school then you wouldn’t have to buy something expensive and resort to a cheaper model.

Advantages of Owning an Electric Scooter 

The number of advantages of an electric scooter are plenty. Let us look at them in detail and why (spoiler alert) they are worth it. 

Convenience

Are Electric Scooters Worth It?

The whole idea of owning/using a vehicle, be it from simple as a bicycle or a car or even owning jets is to allow you to conveniently travel from one place to another.  And guess what, electric scooters are extremely convenient at what they are designed to do. They take you around quickly and efficiently for short distance. They are advertised or designed to be used for short distances and crowded cities and they do an excellent job of them. Their convenience should be one of the top reasons why you should buy them.

Travel Faster

Are Electric Scooters Worth It?

This is true only if you are pitting electric scooters against your own legs and your own bicycling skills. Electric scooters can also be faster mode of transport when using them in congested cities. The size and speed of them allows you to whoosh past vehicles stuck in traffic jams or signals.

There are very minimal laws governing them, you can use the footpath for less obstructive path. They are extremely quick to travel if you are taking a small trip and/or on a congested route. Some electric scooters can travel in excess of 30 mph but it is recommended to ride at them 15 mph for a safe ride. But it is good to have, its top speed in case you need it. They can be quicker than cars too if the distance is short and traffic is high.

Environment Friendly

Are Electric Scooters Worth It?

One of the most important benefit of electric scooters in my opinion is that they are environment. They are better in this regard compared all other vehicles bar bicycles and walking. In our world where anything we do leads to a negative impact on the environment, it is important for us to take measures to do our part in saving it.

While we can’t stop traveling or moving around, so anything that reduces the carbon footprint caused by traveling using cars and motorcycles, is a welcome change indeed. Using electric scooters compared to cars whenever possible is a great way to help the environment.

Low Cost of Maintenance

Are Electric Scooters Worth It?

They are electric scooters and they have few moving parts, this makes them reliable. They don’t need to be maintained as much as cars or motorcycle. The cost of repairs also in the case of an accident are less as they are relatively simpler machines. Electric scooters with airless tires will give a peace of mind over the risk of flat tires.

The only change you’ll be needing to do after years of use will be changing the battery which may have lost its ability to hold charge well. But even then, when compared to the maintenance cost of a car or a motorbike, this is just a small fraction of it. This is a huge plus if you want to save money.

Cheap to Operate

Are Electric Scooters Worth It?

Electric scooters run on electricity, and electricity is cheap. Though electricity price varies from region to region, it still is cheaper than gas. This makes it the cheapest vehicle to operate, except for obviously a bicycle. You can use them for short trips, errands to save a lot on fuel usage. 

Electric Scooters are Affordable

Are Electric Scooters Worth It?

Electric scooters cost a few hundred dollars when compared to the thousands you have to spend on a car. Using a electric scooter as your primary vehicle for commute can save you a lot of money. With better and more quality electric scooters hitting the shelves, there’s never been a better time for you to grab one.

Easy to Park and Store

Electric scooters are small and lightweight even when compared to bicycle. This makes them easy to park or store almost anywhere. Most electric scooters now foldable too which makes them take a smaller footprint when not in use. You can easily tuck it under your office desk, school/college locker or even in your grocery cart. There are also a lot of public scooter racks, where you can park them and secure them safely with a lock.  

Electric Scooters are Portable

They are small in size, lightweight and the foldable nature of electric scooters make them easily portable. That is if you want commute with them on a bus, train or subway for use later or if they lose charge on the way, you don’t have to fret, just fold them and carry them with you. This is an advantage over almost all vehicles out there. Even bicycles are not as easily portable as electric scooters.

Electric Scooters are Easy to Use/Assemble

Are Electric Scooters Worth It?

It will take you only a couple of minutes to use your electric scooter after buying it. Just unfold it, attach the grip for handle, charge the battery and you are ready to go. This is what makes electric scooters an amazing buy, they are convenient in every possible way.

Electric Scooters are Fun

Are Electric Scooters Worth It?

Electric scooters are a joy to ride as they are quick from the get go. They make you feel like a kid sometimes, they accelerate quickly and the size allows you to travel in between vehicles and peoples. It’s a fun feeling to ride an electric scooter. 

Disadvantage of Owning an Electric Scooter

Are Electric Scooters Worth It?

Yes, you read that right, there is only one disadvantage owning or using one in my opinion. It is the safety hazard they pose sometimes.

This is not even a fault of electric scooters, the lack of rules or laws surrounding them is a fault of the government. Some people might think of it as a benefit as they can pick up and ride. But since there are no rules or licenses for electric scooters, anyone can drive and in any way the want and this makes it a safety hazard.

This is an easy one to fix though, a few basic rules need to be put in place for electric scooters so that they are not a safety risk. 

Other disadvantages that some electric scooter haters might point is that it needs battery replacement. This is true in almost any vehicle you own and guess what, the amount spent on maintenance for any car or motorcycle is multiple times higher than you’ll ever spend on an electric scooter. 

FAQ

Do I need insurance to ride an electric scooter?

Well, since electric scooters are classified as personal light electric vehicles, they can be taken out in public without the need of insurance. Basically, any damage to the scooter will come out of your own pocket.

Can you drive an electric scooter without a license?

These scooters can be ridden by anyone and its not mandatory to hold a license. While petrol powered scooters may require a license to operate, those running on batteries do not.

Are electric scooters street-legal?

One of their biggest advantages is that electric scooters are street legal (depending on the state you’re in). Cities have put in more effort to make roads EV friendly with numerous charging stations and dedicated scooter lanes so everyone can get in on the action.

Conclusion

To conclude, I can’t think of any reason why anyone wouldn’t choose an electric scooter. It is quick, reliable, cheap, fun and convenient to ride.

A few laws or rules need to be put up to make it the perfect vehicle to travel inside cities. It is good for the environment and it can even have a positive impact on your mental health cause it’s fun. It is cheap to run and potable to carry around almost everywhere. 

A lot of people are adopting it because it is exciting and equally convenient to use it. This trend is making manufactures to spend more in R&D, resulting in better and more reliable electric scooters. I can see more and more electric scooter riders in the future and I highly recommend picking one up even if you have other vehicles.

All of the above positives are why electric scooters are getting more popular by each passing day. They can only get better and cheaper from here. And you should consider picking one up for yourself because for what it does, an electric scooter does it best. They are worth spending money on, cause the provide an amazing traveling experience.

How To Pick the Best Electric Tricycle

There are a few things you will have to look at before buying an electric trike, these are:

  • Storage Space – First, you’d have to plan how you’re going to use the trike, is it for your day-to-day activities, commute to work, for leisure or to carry your pet along with you. Now that you’ve planned what you’re going to use it for, you need to figure out if you’re going to require lots of storage space or the bare minimum. You will have to keep in mind that if you’re going to use the trike for deliveries or grocery shopping then you’d need one that has the right amount of space, preferably a large basket or one that comes with more than one basket.
  • Motor – The kind of motor used in an electric tricycle will determine your top speed. Many electric trikes that you can buy online are fitted with a 200-250W brushless motor making them more efficient than brushed motors. These motors are capable of reaching top speeds of about 15-25 kilometers per hour or on average, approximately 16 mile per hour.
  • Battery – This is by far the most important thing to consider before buying an electric tricycle for yourself. Thanks to the positioning of the battery on most trikes, manufacturers have been able to use larger capacity batteries allowing you to ride for longer on a single charge. Deciding on whether you’re going to use the trike in full-electric mode or pedal assist will have a direct impact on the size of the battery you need for your daily use.
  • Display – Electric Tricycles that are fitted with LCD screens offer handy information such as your travel speed, battery usage, remaining battery life and overall distance covered. A display on your Trike is beneficial for monitoring your daily riding stats but is not something that’s necessary. So, this will depend on your personal preference.

Conclusion

Electric trikes are considered to be an excellent option for commuting and getting around town thanks to its ability to combine an electric motor alongside traditional pedaling.

Though the best electric tricycle for you solely depends upon your needs, I feel that the best electric tricycle in the market is the Addmotor Motan Electric Trike. This trike is fully equipped with a complete front suspension setup and comes with a spring loaded seat for a comfortable seated experience.

Overall, I felt that though this trike is a bit expensive it has everything you’d probably need for your daily commute. It clearly is one of the best electric trikes in the market today. Which do you prefer?

It features other technologies like Bluetooth connection to your phone and you can use a companion app for the T6. The app gives you details like speed, distance, and battery level.  

ProsCons
One of the best, if not the best built hover-board out there.  The T6 is quite heavy at over 30 pounds.
Durable, rugged and strong. The fenders of the hover-board feature plastic which may not be very durable.  
One of the best hover-boards for carrying heavier people. A bit expensive (but still worth it).
Up to 12 miles of range on a single charge. 
Can reach speeds of 12 mph.
All-terrain hover-board with 30° incline climbing support. 
Smart hover-board with Bluetooth and app functionality. 
Weather, splash and dirt resistant hover-board

Halo Rover X Hoverboard

Best Off Road Hoverboards

The Halo Rover X made huge waves in the hover-board market for its claims from the manufacturers. It was touted to be built so well that manufacturers claimed the frame and tires are indestructible.

Under any condition or amount of use, you won’t be able to damage the Halo Rover X.  This created a lot of buzz and hype around the product. And as far as I know, the manufacturers have delivered on their claims. 

Apart from the stellar build quality, the Halo Rover also features two powerful 400W motors that can help it reach top speeds of 12 mph. It is also equipped with a battery that can make it run for 12 miles on a single charge.

The 8.5-inch wheels can handle inclines of 20 degrees on harsh conditions and terrains like mud, snow and sand.  The Halo Rover X doesn’t lack in terms of technology either. It comes with Bluetooth connectivity to pair with your phone or other smart devices.

It comes with a companion app that provides GPS navigation, speed and distance tracking, and battery management. The hover-board also features a training mode to help you get started.

Tomoloo Eagle V2 Hoverboard

Best Off Road Hoverboards

The Tomoloo Eagle V2 are one of my favorite hover-boards and it not just because of the features, it is primarily due to the price. They offer all the bells and whistles of other hover-boards on this list but at a lower price, which makes them a steal. They are the successors to Tomoloo Eagle V1, which were great hover-boards in their own right and this makes the V2’s better.

The Eagle V2 feature dual 350W motors to ride at up to 12 mph. The equally powerful battery gives a range of 12 miles. This puts the V2’s in the top tier of hover-boards for range and speed. They also feature 8.5-inch wheels which are advertised to never go flat or require maintenance, which is a bold claim.

Best Off Road Hoverboards

The Tomoloo Eagle V2 like most other hover-board comes with a companion app from Tomoloo. The app has some neat features like GPS, battery and speed tracking and an automatic on/off feature.

The V1’s had some battery issues and so Tomoloo went a step further and developed fir-retardant battery design for the safety of its users. The batteries are now developed by Samsung so problems are very unlikely now

ProsCons
Excellent price to performance ratio.The tires don’t have a heavy tread pattern (but as of testing there was no problem).
Powerful dual 350W motors to achieve top speeds of 12 mph.The companion app can be a little finicky to use.
Tested thoroughly for the safety of the battery.
Very good range of 12 miles on a single charge.  
Designed for use in any terrain and is water-resistant.
Companion app features a lot of good features like GPS.
Bluetooth connectivity for inbuilt speakers.
Features LED lights for nighttime riding.

Gyroor Hoverboard Warrior

You wouldn’t choose electric scooters over other vehicles if there was no benefit. These benefits are the reason why you should consider electric scooters for delivery purposes: 

Cheap to buy, use and maintain: This is one of the biggest selling points for electric scooters, they are affordable and cheap to maintain.

This makes them a no brainer if you want to maximize profits by delivering on electric scooters.  

Quick and fast deliveries: When compared to bicycles or cars, electric scooters allow for faster delivery times. While bicycles can’t reach speeds of electric scooters, cars can’t swerve through traffic. You can use bike lanes or regular lanes to reach as fast as you can. This increases the goodwill for your delivery service. Being able to go faster than bicycles while boasting ‘zero emissions’ is a huge plus.
