Riding a Lime shared electric scooter for 42.7 km costs 54 euros—quite expensive!  Meanwhile, e-bikes start at around one to two thousand euros.  Many people claim electric scooters are affordable, but exactly how affordable are they?

The price of an electric scooter varies depending on its configuration:

Commuter Models: Designed for short-distance travel, these prioritize cost-effectiveness and do not require high power.  They typically feature motors ranging from 500W to 800W and are priced between 300€ and 600€.

Off-Road Models: Built for mountain and off-road adventures, these are ideal for navigating forests, commuting to school, or outdoor trips.  They require strong tire grip, good climbing ability, and effective shock absorption.  Motor power generally ranges from 1000W to 2000W, with dual-drive being preferable.  Given their advanced features, prices start at around 2000€ or higher, depending on the scooter's specifications.

You can choose an electric scooter that fits both your needs and budget.  Electric scooters remain a popular choice for many young people.

①Many popular tourist attractions in cities are concentrated in specific areas.  While dedicated cycling lanes may not always be available, you can essentially turn CityWalk routes into cycling paths.  This is particularly suitable for solo travelers, business travelers, or those with like-minded cycling companions.

②Cycling helps conserve energy and, to some extent, reduces the risks associated with walking alone (e.g., around train stations at night).

③In Italy, parking is relatively flexible and convenient, whereas in Germany, there are more restricted parking zones, and riders are often required to park in designated areas (P-points).
