My New Electric Bike
Monday, April 14th, 2008
I finally bought my first fully electric vehicle: an electric scooter. I rode it home from downtown, about 30 km distance and I did not use a drop of gas. It probably cost me about 5 cents to get home.
To fully charge its batteries takes 4-6 hours and costs about 10-15 cents. A full charge seems to be more than enough for me to get to places in the city. I imagine that a single charge will be enough to get me to work and back, though the bike storage at my office has a wall outlet so I could charge my bike there, and will too… Why risk it for nothing eh?
