Electric or gas powered scooters debate is often about cost effectiveness and convenience. As an electric scooter, the Amo Mobility Brisk promises lower running costs and easier maintenance than traditional gas scooters. But there are trade offs – initial purchase price, limited range, how long it takes to charge. The benefit with gas scooters is quick refueling, and possibly greater range, but with higher fuel costs and more complex maintenance. If you're an urban commuter contemplating the options, then you'll want to think about daily usage, how easy it is to get to a charging point and long term ownership costs. Is the Brisk's electric powertrain a money saver in the long run? How does the ubiquity of gas stations compare with the convenience of home charging? In the following, I’ll look at the pros and cons of the Brisk versus the gas powered alternatives for different types of users.
