Did you know?Motorised scooters have been around since the early 1900s! The first ever electric scooter made by Autoped were sold in New York in 1915 and came to the UK a year later. There was a long gap until the next scooter boom in the 1990s with Lithium-ion batteries the most efficient and eco-friendly to date being invented in 1991. We are now in very exciting times and the future looks like e-scooters are here to stay. In 2021, approximately half a million e-scooters were sold in the UK. Sources (including image): |
