Coolpeds’ Lightweight Electric Scooter Changes Your Commute

Commuting is tough for people living in big cities plagued by air pollution, traffic congestion and an energy crisis. Urban people usually commute within a radius of 5-10 km, a distance too far to walk and too difficult to find parking or taxis. In China every day there are more than 100,000 people moving to cities, and they all need efficient methods of transportation.
