Saving Money on Scooters
At GOTRAX, we believe in saving you money. In fact, we’ve created an in-depth analysis comparing several commuting styles to demonstrate how e-scooters cut costs in comparison to driving a car, ride-sharing with Uber/Lyft, and relying on public transportation as a means to get you where you’re going. Based on six different methods, it’s clear the most cost effective option of transportation is the electric scooter, averaging a total of $485.00 a year, not to mention the added perks of evading traffic, avoiding road obstacles, and investing in a cleaner, greener, way to travel. While renting scooters is certainly an option, the trend has transitioned to ownership, as these reliable devices require minimal maintenance costs and come at an affordable price. 
Additionally, GOTRAX offers the opportunity to finance your e-scooter purchase with help from Klarna; ride now and pay later. Klarna provides account holders the power to spread their payments over time, creating a payscale and pace that works with your budget.
