When you combine the benefits to the environment along with the money savings from not paying for: gas, maintenance, parking, high insurance and registration rates, it is easy to see why parents and grandparents are buying students electric bikes and scooters to get to school and around campus. 
The fact that our scooters and bikes look cool and are a blast to ride may not be why they buy you one, but don’t be surprised if you come home one day to find that your mom or dad, or even gramps bought a bike or scooter for themselves too! We are sure they bought one 100% for the environment, to save money . . . ; Or was it for the fun they could have too!
