According to the EPA, the average passenger vehicle emits 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. Each year, millions of metric tons of carbon dioxide are produced by cars in the US alone. Compare that to zero emissions produced by operating an electric scooter, and there is an obvious winner.

Even if you factor in manufacturing, maintenance, and other emissions produced from a vehicle’s lifecycle, a car has nearly 7x the carbon dioxide output when compared to an electric scooter.

Freego electric scooters are more quiet, which means they do not contribute to noise pollution in cities. This brings you closer to the world around you! You can feel more connected to your local neighborhoods and natural areas, without spoiling the experience due to a loud internal combustion engine.

Although cars can carry several passengers, the vast majority of drivers travel alone between work and home every day. In the US, over 76% of workers travel alone in a vehicle for their daily commute. Compared to riding an electric scooter, that is extremely inefficient! Cars, vans, and SUVs all require significantly more space compared to an electric scooter. This means more crowding on our roads, in parking lots, and throughout cities in general. During a pivotal time when personal space is valued so highly, less crowding in our urban environments is really important.
