Air pollution has been steadily increasing over the past decades. A major contributor to this is cars. They can get as little as 8 mpg. People are becoming conscious of this and are looking for ways to reduce it. One way people are doing this is by riding scooters. They get up to 100 mpg, as opposed to some cars that get 8mpg, which means that not only do people cut down on pollution, but they cut down on the money they are spending at the gas pump.
Scooters are good for riding around town because they are so compact and they let you enjoy the air. Using a car to drive a couple of blocks to the grocery store wastes gas and emits lots of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere; taking a scooter will help stop this waste. While scooters may be small, they come with detachable compartments that allow you to put as many groceries as you like into them.
Scooters are also good in stop and go traffic, which can be hard on car engines, because that is what they are built for. Although they are mostly for use around town, they can go up to 60 mph which means they can go on the highway as well. If more people rode scooters then the air would be cleaner and it would make being outside more enjoyable.
