Green fleet mangers consider electric scooters
Electric scooters offering fleet managers a low-cost route to going green will be launched at a transport show on Wednesday. September 15.
Currently, almost all electric scooters in the UK are Chinese imports. Elecscoot is the only British company whose scooters are powered by a proprietary drive train, battery pack and battery management system.
“With extremely low whole life costs and market-leading reliability, our electric scooters are transitioning from being lifestyle consumer vehicles into a genuine option for fleets. Clearly electric scooters cannot replace an entire company car fleet, but they are now a serious alternative. We are witnessing a rapid rise in enquiries from fleet managers in the public and private sector,” says Ian Allison, Managing Director of Elecscoot.
Priced at £4,395, the Elecscoot E4 has an advanced lithium-ion battery and management system, delivering a range of up to 100 miles on a full charge. It costs just 8p for a full battery charge, meaning an estimated cost of approximately 0.08p per mile.
Elecscoot will officially launch the E4 at LCV 2010, the UK’s leading exhibition of low carbon vehicle technologies, which takes place at Millbrook Proving Grounds on the 14th and 15th September. The E4 and other E Series scooters will be available for test drives and on display in the outdoor area.
“Elecscoot has worked extremely hard to evolve the electric scooter to meet the exacting standards of fleet operators. We believe the next 12 months will witness the first major fleet purchases of these low cost, fun-to-drive zero emission vehicles,” added Ian Allison.
