As one of the directors Green Rewards I saw the Electrip scooters on our website and thought they looked like a great idea – I wanted to try one out. If you’re going to be involved in a business that’s trying to get people to change their habits, you have to be prepared to do it yourself. I love riding bikes, I’ve loved them since I was kid, but also in London it’s a kind of necessary because the traffic can drive me insane.
What’s great about this scooter is that it really taps into what the average family can afford to do, ecologically speaking. Without making any sacrifice, people can adopt this as a really viable alternative to motorbikes or non-eco scooters. I know that a lot of people would prefer to do something positive for the environment but might be a bit lazy and not want to fork out on a really expensive product. I’ve always thought that if you can come up with a solution that ticks all consumer related boxes, most people will be interested. This scooter by Electrip does just that.
Most people are aware by this point that we need to do something to change our lifestyles, and my role is to convince people that we can make small changes that make a difference. A new, normal scooter will cost you in the region of £2,000, but these green scooters not only look like a proper scooter but are also sturdy and only cost £950.
Neil's transport challenge is taken up by weekly motorbike newspaper Motor Cycle News (MCN) who are very interested to know what the outcome is.
Neil gave an interview to Greenmystyle.com the online 'Green version of Grazia' about the scooters, family and Christmas magic.
Daisy Green magazine made Neil their 'Green God Of The Month', and my doesn't he look good in a toga! Click here for revealing images...Ok, that bit may not be true, but it's a great interview.
