    Green scooter designs seem to be pouring in from the heavens above! Recently, we’ve seen a whole wave of electric-scooters hit the two-wheeler market, with eco-friendly two-wheelers like the e-Vivacity scooter by Peugeot and Mini’s Scooter-E. Today, 70 million scooters purr around on roads all around the world. This estimate does seem to fall short though, given that the scooter market in South-Eastern Asia and the Indian Subcontinent seems to be ever-expanding! Statistics claim that by the year 2017, about a 138 million scooters will be on-road, most of which are expected to be electric! A sure annoyance to four-wheeler users, these cheap to buy, simple to fix, and easy to park modes of transport are sure to catch on. And with electricity use, maintenance of a scooter goes near-zero!


    And with technological developments that are being bettered on a daily basis, batteries are destined to become cheaper, a lot more reliable and range-friendly, giving the electric-scooter market a further impetus.
