Electric Scooters were once considered a toy or something a senior citizen would use to get around the mall. It would be fun as a kid when mom would let you hop on one for just a couple of minutes before the security guard came over and ruined all the fun. Electric scooters are still as fun as any toy, but now they’re big business.
In cities like New York and Hong Kong electric scooters are the best way to travel. Battery powered scooters are perfect for short trips. Most people don’t have very far to go. Gasoline prices are once again getting out of hand after a short respite, and taxis might as well be airplanes with fares these days.
Electric scooters are efficient. The cost of running an electric scooter is around 25% lower then the cost of gasoline scooters. Scooters for older people tend to stay less than five or ten miles per hour. Another advantage is they can be driven indoors. The small amount of energy used makes for multiple uses between charges. The disability scooter as it’s referred to, usually has three wheels and a basket for carrying goods.
Mopeds however, are even harder to see than motorcycles. This is actually the cause of some accidents. Also contributing is the fact that this type of electric scooter is popular with younger inexperience drivers. While not as fast as some gasoline powered scooters, a couple of electric models do reach high speeds that can be dangerous. Although dangerous at high speeds, electric scooters are a very safe way to travel when obeying the laws of the road.
The low cost of up keep makes electric scooters a great option. While not quite as dangerous as motorcycles, scooters are nearly as much fun. They’re safer on the road then faster more powerful bikes and they’re safer for the eco system. People concerned with environmental safety should love the features of an electric scooter and the price which is drastically cheaper than that of electric cars.

Whether or not to take out rental insurance, when you are renting a car, has been a major decision among all renters. It is important, when you rent a car, that you understand these companies want to sell you insurance because it is a way for them to make more money.

Prehistoric sites on Formentera indicate that there were people living on the island four thousand years ago. Throughout history people have been attracted to the island: the Phoenicians, were followed by the Carthaginians, who were then followed by the Romans. Even though there is no natural water on the island it has its attractions. The island was called Ophiusa by Strabo, a Greek geographer, a name designed to suit an island teeming with lizards.

Formentera was called the Island of Wheat by the Romans who farmed it. It’s curious that they named it in this way since their main export was figs! The remains of Castell Roma de Can Blai are testament to the fact that the Romans invested a lot of resources into the island.
The Romans were followed by the Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, and Normans, but it wasn’t until the Catalans arrived that things really started to get organized. This was back in 1235 when the Catalan-Aragonese crown decided to occupy the island, and started by taking the unfortunate decision to kill most of the local Muslim population. They went on to form an administration, but the whole thing ended in disaster with the island being abandoned in the 1300s under endless pirate attacks and illness.
Following the abandonment of the island it was decided to settle again in 1697, and the island has been inhabited ever since. It was King Carlos II of Spain who saw the potential in the island and appointed a sea captain to go and build some defense towers to keep the pirates out. The remains of the five towers can be visited today.
The modern Formentera was shaped by the wave of hippies who came in the 1950s. They spread the word about the island’s natural beauty and tourism has since grown to be the island’s main business. Gone are the days of fig and olive growing. Of course, you still see plenty of farmers out and about, but the truth is that they could make nearly as much money by renting out their farmhouses to the tourists that want to visit this island.
From when you arrive at Lasabina formentera port you are delighted by a amazing island. For further information visit: http://www.squidoo.com/Sabina-Formentera
