If only my locality was more scooter friendly, I’d really give driving a two-wheel vehicle some thought. I mean, I really do envy those lucky bastards who get to drive around in their Vespas and get as high as 50 mpg while I content myself getting only 24 mpg in my beater of a car.

I’ve talked to some friends and they’re now considering parking their four wheels at home and getting either a bicycle or a scooter to ferry themselves around town. The green brigade would definitely applaud cyclists but what’s a good 0-emission alternative to scooters? Electric scooter. Like this one - the Vectrix electric scooter.

Interesting numbers - top speed of 62 mph, 0-50 in 6.8 seconds and 40-60 miles on top charge. Here’s a interview video featuring Vectrix’ sales director Jim Plagenhoef:
