How Micro Electric Mobility is not eco-friendly?
Micro electric vehicles, such as electric scooters and electric skateboards, can be a convenient and eco-friendly mode of transportation.
But in the recent past, we saw startups in this domain getting failed. Experts and media talk about it and share their opinions on social media and other open platforms.
While most of them looking at the economic impact and market dynamics post this failure, very few people are talking about the contribution of this event to climate change.
They left tens of thousands of scooters in the dump which caused tens of thousands of products to be trashed.
The actual purpose of these scooters was to reduce the carbon footprint and not those are sources of the carbon footprint.
Now the question is, are these startups really making any contribution to fighting climate change?
