Cheap Transportation for That RV Pit Stop

More and more people are taking to the open road. These days, the trips are getting shorter, but the length of stay is getting longer. There seems to be another phenomena taking place. You don’t see all the extra vehicles tagging along behind these RVs’. Did they give up their pit stop transportation? I think not.

Just about any person you talk to that has an RV will tell you that they have heard of the next wave in alternative transportation. It’s cheap, portable and gets them where they need to go in a jiff.

What is all of the ruckus? Two words - Electric Scooters. Electric scooters have become all the rage with the RV generation. Electric scooters today are compact, fast and convenient.
Electric scooters today are compact: In the old days, electric scooters were not compact. Today, most electric scooters are capable of folding down for easy storage. With this advent, RV owners love the fact that they can fit right inside the RV without being in the way. The electric scooter can be stored in a closet or in a cubby inside most RV’s.

Electric Scooters are fast: As compared to the scooters of yesterday, today’s electric scooters are much more powerful. The average speeds of electric scooters today range anywhere from fifteen miles per hour, all the way up to twenty-five or thirty miles per hour. There are a few higher end models that can reach up to forty-five to a whopping fifty miles per hour, but those would require a cargo rack for the back of your RV. The higher end models will not fit comfortably inside your RV.

Electric Scooters are convenient: When there are some short trips to take or to take I the sights, all you need to do is pull out your electric scooter, hop on and away you go. You don’t have to worry about any added expense; like gas or oil.

Electric scooters pay for themselves. Think about all the money that you can and will save on gas. Just by taking out your electric scooter a few times, you will have paid for it with the money you saved by not filling up. What does that mean to you? You will have more money to spend on your trip and when you’re done, fold it up and put it away conveniently. No worries.

So, if you have an RV and you’re used to towing your gas guzzler behind, you can park the car, get an electric scooter and hit the trails. You owe it to yourself to not let the cost of gas get in your way. Besides, electricity is much cheaper and better for the environment.
