Wasting hours stuck in traffic? Spending too much on taxis? Or perhaps you simply need ways to boost productivity?

For businesses large and small, travel can be a real problem area. By providing sustainable and active mobility solutions, businesses can see huge benefits.

The Scooter Dock is the perfect short-term parking solution to control the chaos of push and e-scooters. Studded with design features, like the wheel slot system, compatible locks and helmets and gear, this rack EXCELS in user-friendliness.

Let’s look at scooter fleets and why they could be the answer to sustainable corporate mobility. 

Environmental Sustainability – reduce or offset CO2

As the climate change crisis gets ever more urgent, more and more people are seeking ways to reduce their carbon footprint.

By swapping car and taxi rides for scooter miles, you can reduce your business’s carbon footprint. 
With cities across the world beginning to enforce zero-emission zones. There is a growing space in them for e-scooters. In the not so distant future, they may become one of the only ways to move around quickly in these overcrowded city areas. 

Although there are obviously emissions involved in their manufacturing process, e-scooters produce zero emissions while operating, which makes them a much greener alternative to most cars and motorbikes. The fact that they are powered by electricity as opposed to fossil fuels means you’ll never need to worry about your city’s pollution controls. 

Boost employees health and well-being to increase productivity

Scooters are fun and accessible to all abilities. Get staff scooting to build a healthier workforce! A healthier office culture means less spent on statutory sick pay but also boosts productivity when in work.

Scooter Dock and Space

The nature of a large office block means people will always be coming and going throughout the day, so scooters are the perfect option to help tenants get around. Whether a quick trip to a shop or a longer journey to a meeting allows tenants the possibility to get where they need to be quickly and while having some fun!

Importantly the scooters give the tenants a chance to get active and get their heart rate up during their day. Putting aside time to focus on exercise can be a struggle for a lot of people, especially when it comes to fitting it around your working week. With a fleet of scooters at your disposal, you can start to integrate physical activity into your working day rather than trying to fit it around it. This, in turn, will make a positive impact on your health, both physically and mentally.

It’s important to see city central businesses providing micro-mobility options for people to use in the city. If we can encourage people to embrace active travel instead of relying on taxis, then we are all making positive movements towards lowering CO2 emissions in our cities. The change needs to happen collectively and it’s great to see prominent city developments leading from the front.

Conclusion

In conclusion, it’s easy to see why electric scooters are taking over the streets of the world’s major cities. Not only are they exhilarating ways of getting around, but they are perfect for short journeys. Their lightweight, foldable frames make them complement to public transport. 

As well as being cool, cost-effective, convenient and hassle-free, electric scooters are also greener than alternative means of transportation, becoming the perfect replacement for the car and offering a potential solution to gridlock streets and air pollution. 

While you might still attract curious looks from those not used to seeing adults using them, electric scooters are a bold street statement and a trend definitely worth hopping on. The potential benefits of incorporating a scooter dock into a city’s transit infrastructure are substantial.

Electric scooters are here to stay, and cities have the opportunity and challenge of establishing a safe framework in which citizens and visitors can enjoy the full benefits of this technology.
