Anyone who commutes into the city knows the drill. Park close to the office and pay unbelievably high parking rates or park a mile away for 1\/10th<\/sup> the price.\u00a0 It then takes 18 minutes to walk to the office.<\/p>\n

What if you could park at the cheaper lot and still be to the office in 3 minutes?\u00a0 How cool would that be?<\/p>\n

Consider an alternative \u2013 the <\/strong>EcoReco<\/strong><\/a> eScooter<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"EcoReco<\/a><\/p>\n

This Earth Day 2014 is a good time to consider an ecologically good idea that also makes perfect sense economically.\u00a0 An electric scooter like the EcoReco<\/a> is a smart tool that is:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Strong enough to carry an adult and all your backpacks\/messenger bags<\/li>\n
  2. Durable enough to last for years<\/li>\n
  3. Compact enough to stick under a desk when folded<\/li>\n
  4. Runs for 20 miles on one charge<\/li>\n
  5. Recharges from any 110v outlet<\/li>\n
  6. 6x faster than an average walking speed<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The EcoReco is as fast as Usain Bolt, but you could keep going for almost an hour at that speed. He couldn\u2019t.\u00a0 Not that you need to race into the office, but think about it. On a hot morning, you\u2019ll be standing still up on your scooter, feeling the cool breeze as you fly across town.<\/p>\n

    Need to go somewhere distant for lunch?\u00a0 Simply unfold your scooter, don your helmet and zip across town with no worries about parking when you get there. Chain it to a bike rack or fold it down and carry it inside and stick it under your table.<\/p>\n

    \"EcoReco<\/a><\/p>\n

    The EcoReco uses a 250W motor that will carry you 500 miles for $1 worth of electricity.\u00a0 How\u2019s that for Earth Day sustainability?<\/p>\n
