Two wheels can be better than four for getting around Greater Nottingham. Small motorcycles produce fewer emissions and use less fuel than the average car, making for a greener single-occupancy journey.
The advantages for large motorcycles are less clear-cut. The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) argues that while cars stuck in heavy traffic produce zero miles to the gallon along with high levels of pollutants, large motorcycles (with a comparable fuel consumption to a car), can continue to make progress even in the heaviest of traffic, making a far lower contribution to pollution levels and, in turn, reducing congestion.
If you’re looking for a more environmentally friendly alternative to motorcycles, there’s a range of companies selling electric scooters out there. There are no carbon emissions from the bikes, so by using one you’ll be helping to reduce your impact on the environment. If you need some ideas of where to find electric scooters – and more information about their benefits – try escoota, E-City Wheels or Elecscoot.
