7 reasons your second car should be an eScooter

So many car trips are short ones you make on your own: across town to work, the shop, the gym. Here's why an eScooter can take those over, and what it actually saves.

You pay once, not every month

Keeping an average car on Irish roads costs about €608 a month once you add loan repayments, fuel, insurance, tax, NCT, parking and servicing. A LOCO eScooter starts at €299, and charges from a normal socket.

Source: OUTsurance Ireland, 2025, running costs excluding depreciation. Loan: average car loan €13,233 (BPFI, Q1 2026) repaid over 5 years at 7.7% APR, about €266 a month.

It takes the short solo trips

The commute across town, the shop, the gym, the errands. Just you, a few kilometres, a car that's mostly empty.

Road-legal in Ireland

Road-legal eScooters can use roads and cycle lanes in Ireland, up to 20 km/h, from age 18, wearing a helmet and high-vis. No tax, insurance or licence needed, and everything we sell for Irish roads is supplied to that spec.
