Today, on the first post Thematic transport (the challenge of the future?) You know ... all my enthusiasm for cycling in the city, I am an admirer of Velo'v in Lyon, I love the double lines of cars stopped at red lights, smell the smells of bakeries pedaling and plus I've never been so form since I'm moving to Vancouver bike. Yet it is another means of transport that I wanted to mention here, and in fact you'll see everything that has revolutionary!
I present you the electric scooter:
Look at the photo, it's not a joke, not only is there no exhaust because it is an electric vehicle, but more attention will also have observed the presence of pedals ... amazing! (Or ridiculous let's be honest, these pedals are in effect for only interest that you may benefit by the same law that bikes: no insurance or license)
course this type of vehicle n is not new and it even seems that we begin to see in France, but here is the vast majority of park scooter that runs on electricity, it was worth a quick post.
Well then what do these machines have so revolutionary? At first sight nothing in terms of energy, I do not really believe the power is the solution that we detoxify oil and I'm definitely an advocate of soft modes of transport which have the advantage of fuel corn flakes that we ate in the morning ...
However, after noon, I am overtaken by a lady in a scooter on a slope with a high percentage ... I discovered a red light that this lady should largely be old enough to have two generations of offspring, and thus on the sudden I thought: great! Even if she eats a lot of cornflakes in the morning, I do not see this lady facing slope in this bike so here's a solution to the problems of transportation in town:
-accessible to everyone even at least sports
-Space-saving parking in
-Electrical therefore more efficient and better performance
-And above all quiet.
Yes, absolutely silent, I offer this same link ( Giobikes ) or you find a great video presentation of an electric scooter with a soundtrack worthy of the people migrating to the camera and flush with the asphalt to remember how you go fast! And yet here ( video) that an owner praising its acquisition.
On reflection, I told myself then that if the conveyance of the future is for me the bike, this type of machine may well be part of the mix and be a good alternative for people that put off the bike or who no longer have the form of their 20 years. I can already see a throng of electric Byker along the same route they took before in big bulky sedan to go to work, but now in a quiet relaxing to hear the tinkling bells of hardcore cyclists, and then all the voices of pedestrians fill the streets calmed.
Scooter muffler, you have dreamed of in the streets of old Lyon, or that of Montmartre, Vancouver has democratized ...
The downside to this advertising slogan is that North America has previously democratize Pick -up ... the road is straight but the slope will still be tough and very noisy street for a while ... Anyway, now the electric scooter is "like"
