Now this is likely due to the increase in gas prices but also because of the warmer months popping up around us, not to mention the fact than millions of people are continuing to work from home, offering up a unique opportunity where they may no longer have to commute long distances anymore. So all of that being said, let me tell you why E-Scooters may be the best micro transport.
