Qué cubre este vídeo
Electric scooters provide a portable, solar-rechargeable transportation solution for liveaboards needing to navigate ashore from an anchorage. Marina and Michel, living aboard a sailboat, utilize a 13-kg electric scooter with a manufacturer-rated range of 25 to 30 kilometers and a 120-kg weight capacity.11:17 The scooter reaches speeds of 25 km/h, allowing for efficient travel to markets or errands, and folds for easy transport in a dinghy.6:14 Because the vessel’s solar array provides excess power, the couple charges the scooter using clean energy.5:48 While the scooter serves as a primary transport tool, the pair supplements it with skateboards for recreation and shared bicycle systems like Itaú in urban areas such as Rio de Janeiro.12:00 When traveling to smaller towns lacking shared infrastructure, the portability of the electric scooter offers significant logistical advantages over public transit or walking.12:32
