Below are outlined some of the many benefits of Electric Bicycles and Scooters (EAPCS) and Electric Mopeds: Very Low Energy Use - Electric Bicycles, Scooters (EAPCs) and Electric Mopeds use a small fraction of the energy used by a motorbike, car, bus or train thus keeping greenhouse gas production to a minimum. How? - Well they are naturally efficiently engineered using the latest battery, controller and motor technologies, they are light in weight, and some even generate electricity and charge the battery as they roll down hill or are brought to a stop! Zero Air Pollution At The Point Of Use - Electric Bicycles, Scooters and Mopeds have no exhaust, so they emit no greenhouse gases or other pollutants whatsoever at the point of use. This makes the local environment in which they are used healthier for all. Very Low Noise Pollution - Electric Bicycles, Scooters and Mopeds make little noise when ridden, so they are more pleasant to ride and keep neighborhood and road noise down, again making local environments healthier and more social places. Low Manufacturing Resource Consumption - Electric Bicycles, Scooters and Mopeds tend to weight considerably less than alternative forms of transport and hence their manufacture consumes less steel, rubber, plastic and other materials than alternative forms of transport. Low Shipping Mass - Because Electric Bicycles, Scooters and Mopeds tend to weigh less than alternative forms of transport, less shipping is required to transport them to the customer so more can be transported in a single shipment, again saving the earth's resources. Low Recycling Demand - Yet another benefit from these low weight vehicles is the smaller demand on recycling facilities when the product does eventually reach the end of its lifecycle. Can Utilize 100% Zero Emission Energy - Electric Bikes, Scooters and Mopeds can be charged using 100% renewable energy making their total cycle emissions truly zero. This can simply be achieved by purchasing household electricity from a green energy provider (call us for details). Typically 25% Zero Emission Energy - In the UK we produce approximately 25% of our electricity from nuclear power which produces zero greenhouse gas emissions when generated. So the little electricity a typical Electric Bicycle, Scooter or Moped consumes is automatically 25% emission free! Furthermore, There Are Many Other Owner Benefits - VERY cheap travel, easy parking, the fun of riding on the latest technology, no need to stop at smelly petrol filling stations, no road tax costs (on electric bicycles or scooters (EAPCs)), minimal servicing requirements, etc. In summary, Electric Bicycles, Scooters and Mopeds are amazingly environmentally friendly, efficient, cheap and simply to run, so make journeying easy and fun - Go Electric.

The Environment In The News

Almost on a daily basis new environmental reports are released offering ever more evidence of global warming and ever more dire predictions of the consequences. The use of electric bicycles and scooters worldwide could have a large positive impact on the world's CO2 emissions and dramatically improve the environmental outlook. In an effort to demonstrate the ever mounting evidence of environmental damage that confronts us we list below in brief national media reports on the environment as they are released (begun 13 / March / 2006) 28/3/2006 - Progress on semi/commercial wave power schemes of US east coast, Spain and Cornwall. 28/3/2006 - UK to miss CO2 emissions target.. 24/3/2006 - Concerns reported about the impact of global warming on both the developing world's food supply and risk of flooding. 23/3/2006 - UK Chancellor - Gordon Brown  - Increases taxes on new 4x4s. 14/3/2006 - CO2 at highest level for 600,000 to 1 Million years at 381ppm (parts per million). 13/3/2006 - Increased melting of icebergs in South America.
