Scoot To Work Geek Style!

All this talk of credit crunch and rising costs of living is making us feel a little… well a bit skint if we’re honest… but how do you save cash without loosing your cool “got it first” persona? Well us at Firebox are the purveyors of lifestyle must have’s and we know the answer – get yourself Street Scoota, a vespa-style electric scooter, and save yourself a packet on your daily commute!

The Street Scoota costs £999.95 (a small price to pay compared to an average £3-6k electric scooter) with battery charging coming in around 8p for an 8 hour charge which lasts around 40 miles. You don’t pay congestion charge, tax is free and there are hundreds of free parking bays for electric vehicles around the country and capital. So banish those purse draining gas guzzling cars, ditch the sweat inducing tubes and avoid slow moving buses by treating yourself to a Street Scoota – the perfect way to save cash, cut your morning commute in half AND do your bit for the environment.

And if you’re thinking electric scooters are a bit… geeky then you’re on the money because this season geek is in!

If Ikea Did Trains...

they'd be pretty good. In fact we know they'd be good because they have already kitted some carriages out with their bright, flowery patterns.

They should definitely do this on the Northern Line!
