Find the Perfect Christmas Gift! Discover the Best Electric Scooters for 2024 in Australia
It’s that time of the year again—many of us are starting to search for the perfect Christmas gift for our loved ones. This year, I’m making the case for why electric scooters should top your shopping list. So, charge up, and let’s dive into why scooters are the ultimate present for the holidays in Australia.
Are Electric Scooters the Perfect Christmas Gift?
Electric scooters are an investment gift—have you ever received something that became more useful and valuable as time went on? That’s exactly what an electric scooter offers. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Why do we say “most” e-scooters? Read on to find out.
Save Money with an Electric Scooter
As you’d expect, electric scooters run on batteries and are powered by electricity, making them a budget-friendly transportation option. Whether you drive daily or rely on public transport, switching to an e-scooter can save you money.
For example, if you're commuting by car, consider the cost of petrol—which in many parts of Australia, especially cities like Sydney and Melbourne, can be upwards of $2 AUD per litre. Compare that to charging a scooter like the Apollo Go, which costs roughly $0.15 AUD for a full charge and lets you travel up to 40 km.
Petrol aside, there's also parking, registration, and insurance to consider. Scooters eliminate all of these extra costs, offering a convenient and eco-friendly alternative.
Time Back in Your Day with a Scooter
Electric scooters don’t just save money—they save time, too. Commuting in Australia’s sprawling cities like Brisbane or Perth often means spending time in traffic or waiting for public transport. With an e-scooter, you can breeze past congestion and directly to your destination.
Let’s take an example:
- A 7 km commute from South Bank to Brisbane’s CBD takes about 15 minutes by car (excluding parking time) or 20 minutes by public transport.
- An electric scooter? Just 13 minutes.
Beyond time savings, scooters are fun to ride. Forget the frustration of sitting in traffic and enjoy the ride—whether it’s cruising along Sydney’s harbour paths or zipping through Melbourne’s laneways.
Perfect for Hybrid Commutes
For many Australians, scooters are the perfect “last mile” solution, complementing other modes of transport. Live in Parramatta and work in the Sydney CBD? Take the train for the bulk of the trip and use an e-scooter for the final leg. With their portability, electric scooters make hybrid commutes seamless.
Why Riders Choose Electric Scooters
Beyond the savings and convenience, the number one reason riders choose electric scooters? Fun!
Here’s what one Australian rider had to say about their Apollo Go:
"I wasn’t sure about getting a scooter at first, but it’s been an absolute game-changer. My 10 km commute to work is now something I look forward to every day. It’s quick, fun, and surprisingly practical."
Not All Scooters Are Equal
While most electric scooters make excellent gifts, not all are built to last. With Australia’s unique conditions, from rugged outback terrain to coastal humidity, it’s crucial to choose a scooter designed for durability and performance.
Look for scooters that offer:
- High-quality components (e.g., durable motors, reliable brakes).
- Long-term warranties and serviceability.
- Proven reliability through rider reviews and certifications.
At Apollo, we take pride in building scooters that endure. Whether you're tackling Melbourne’s tram tracks or Sydney’s hilly suburbs, our scooters are built for Australia’s toughest riders.
