With the advancement in technology, many electric gadgets have been introduced which help people in commuting within metro cities where traffic is the main problem. There are a lot of compact mobility types of machinery that have been developed like rollers, hoverboards and many more. As we know everything comes with some advantages and disadvantages, whereas I think there are very less benefits of
such
devices. Primarily, the one benefit of having compact electric motor devices is that you can reach your destination on time, regardless of the big traffic jams. Segways and hoverboards are
such
compact
vehicles
that they can be passed in very small spaces.
For example
, many IT persons living in Banglore city are using
such
rollers to reach their offices on time during peak hours. In fact, these electric
vehicles
do not cause pollution to the environment. They only need electricity to get charged and can travel up to 10-15 km.
Thus
, there are some pros to using
such
vehicles
in metro cities.
On the other hand
, in my opinion, there are some drawbacks to using electric scooters to travel. The main issue is safety, a person may get injured while travelling as there are no safety belts and
instead
these are open
vehicles
without any covering body.
For instance
, many incidents get recorded in the past few years due to
such
electric
vehicles
, a person may get hit by another strong and powerful vehicle.
Moreover
, batteries get discharged easily as they do not have powerful rechargeable batteries installed.
Therefore
, there are serious drawbacks in front of a few advantages. To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that though there are some benefits of using
such
compact electric commuter devices that people can easily get through from traffic jams, and
also
helpful in saving our natural resources,
however
, it has serious cons too that cannot be neglected and which may cause a big issue to a person's life.
