There’s a reason why malls are a favorite destination by many people. It is a one-stop shop for everything you need – grocery, home decor and appliances, kids’ clothes and toys, health and beauty products, and the list goes on. Because of the pandemic, people are wary of going to the mall. As a result, more and more resorted to online shopping to avoid going out.

Are you ready to go shopping?

Public transport is heavily affected as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. As of this writing, the government relaxed the rule from “one meter apart” to “one seat apart” in public utility vehicles, thereby allowing up to 50 percent passenger capacity. This relaxed rule will be able to accommodate more passengers.

Here’s the thing: Covid-19 is still there and there is still a possibility that you can get it because of minimal social distancing. Buying a car or a motorcycle can be a good option but with the status of the economy and uncertainties in employment, you have to think twice (or thrice!) if it is worth the risk.

There’s another option without breaking the bank: electric scooter or e-scooter. It is more affordable, more economical, and much safer than riding public transport. Plus, it’s also good for the environment because it does not contribute to pollution.

Here comes the best part: you can skip the horrendous commute and pay for your e-scooter on installment basis.

Where can I buy an e-scooter?

E-scooters are available in the market. If you want quality product that allows you to pay on installment basis, then E-kicks Electric Scooter is your best bet.

E-kicks is a local distributor of portable, emission-free, and commute-friendly scooter. It is also foldable, lightweight, and portable, thereby making it easier for you to bring anywhere you go. What makes e-scooter more valuable is that instead of riding public transport, this is a good alternative to commuting and going around the city.

You don’t have to worry about after-sales service, too. E-kicks has local Parts Support and Service Center in case of replacement and repair.

Can you afford to buy an e-scooter? The answer is yes.
