Gas prices are up, but we're doing what we can to avoid WALKING anywhere. Sales of E-SCOOTERS have skyrocketed, according to a new report. And more people in cities are using them to commute.
The makers of Bird scooters say sales are up 60% compared to the same time last year, and web traffic was up 30% in March. A website called FluidFreeRide.com sells e-scooters too, and they say the same thing. Sales are up 70%, and they've had 30% more web traffic since gas prices shot up.
The cheapest e-scooters start around $300. But if you're blowing 20 bucks a day on gas, they pay for themselves pretty quick.
