roads?
- Will they ever have market share?

4. Global warming and reducing our individual carbon footprint
is top of the social agenda and arguably the biggest
challenge for this and future generations. Balancing the
need to travel to work with the need to be socially aware is
a high priority. The need especially in dense urban areas to
reduce emissions and pollution while easing congestion is
also paramount.

6. European E2W market is forecasted to reach 220k vehicles by 2016
-electric scooters are estimated to account for 75% of sales in the E2W
market
Flexibility in design and higher range are expected to drive application
of electric scooters in fleet businesses
Courier and retail networks to contribute approximately 60% of E2W
fleet business by 2016
While electric scooters are expected to find high application in rental
schemes & commercial entities, electric motorcycles are expected to
be niche segment aimed only at eco conscious two-wheeler customers

ELECTRIC SCOOTERS
Victoria Atherstone - Founder & CEO of start-up electric scooter company love2scoot – team set to manufacture high performance, low cost, versatile in design electric scooters here in the UK. Founder first introduced to this industry back in Sept 2006 when on vacation in China - amazed to see so many electric scooters zipping around the streets when we hadnt even heard of them back here in UK. Al Gore just released his documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” - which fuelled interest even further. Has since been fully immersed in the eco transport sector, chose the Eco2 Transport show as platform to share industry insights re the electric two wheeler market.

The Mayor states in his Electric Vehicle Delivery Plan
Identifying early adopters is key to fast market uptake
NB. These groups also have the power to encourage change on a national scale
Urbanites - The demographic for this group shows that they are young, socially conscious (The X Y Generations) and work as urban professionals. They are educated, highly aspirational - like distinctive styling & setting trends - and are living or working in one of the UK’s top urban areas.
The Mayor has estimated density of early adopters in 2015 across London - showing faster uptake in the South West, North and also the Olympic park area

Westminster has the largest on-street recharging service for electric vehicles in the UK with 56 on / off-street sites
However currently none in motorcycle parking bays – ETW however are exempt from their newly introduced £1 per day parking fee for motorcycles
Point to note – if you’d like to charge at home or work - A local electrician can install your own IP rated sockets for around £160 - £250 subject to a site inspection
Mayor launces “Source London”
From 2011, there will be a phased installation of 1,300 public charge points on residential streets and off-street locations, such as supermarkets, public car parks, shopping and leisure centres.
Any vehicle that is licensed with the DVLA as a pure electric or a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle will be able to join the scheme. This includes motorbikes, cars, vans, trucks and scooters.
In order to implement the 22,500 work place charging points the Mayor needs to work with corporate organisations
The West Midlands, Greater Manchester, South Yorkshire, Cumbria, Cornwall and Belfast also submitted strong bids in the first round and the DfT are working with them to develop their plans for the second round funding.
Other major cities such as Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol and Brighton have also publicly expressed interest towards green transport solutions:
Battery Types: ranging from older technologies such as; Lead Acid, Silicone Gel, Nickel Metal Hydride to much more advanced technologies such as Li-ion compounds – there are various types of Li-ion such as: Li-ion Phosphate (LiFePO4) & Polymer (LiPo), Lithium-iron-sulfide
