Looking for an environmentally friendly way to get to work? With the Ego Street Scoota you can put concerns about petrol price increases behind you because it runs on power from the mains. It has a top speed of 30mph, so it’s more suited to nipping around town than taking in the open highway, and its range is limited to around 40 miles. Charging up the Scoota costs a mere 8p, which means it runs at around 0.25p a mile, which is impressively economic. It’ll take about eight hours to completely recharge, but you can give it a quick top-up in around three hours. You don’t need to worry about pumping out exhaust fumes while you’re driving it, and there’s no road tax or congestion charge to pay either.
