In this article, we'll look at what problems personal and sharing scooters solve so that they can be as useful as possible, without any additional stress.
Anyone who has already checked a scooter out as a means of transport without traffic jams will sooner or later think about what's more convenient, buying your own scooter or continuing to use Whoosh.


Your own scooter VS
a shared scooter
We choose a scooter so we can be mobile and have a choice in how we move around. If a traffic jam pops up near the office, we grab a scooter. When it gets colder, then the metro is a better choice. If we're going home in the evening from the bar, then a taxi is the way to go. The scooter fits easily into any unexpected scenario during the day, especially if we're not tied to an individual and don't need to take it with us everywhere.


A personal scooter is a big responsibility, but kicksharing is a two-way street - you can take one when you need it, and when you don't, you can leave it in a parking area
Even a small vehicle like a scooter that you can stick in a cupboard in the winter or leave in the hallway needs constant attention. If something breaks in the scooter, it is better to replace the parts with branded ones from the manufacturer or from a company recommended by them. During the season, you'll need to build up the energy to clean off everything that's accumulated on the scooter during use. It is better to do this in the bathroom or in your dacha using a hose. Popular high-pressure washers can cause water to get into the bearings, oil seals and other vital components.


Even during the winter season, the scooter cannot be left unattended. Lithium can not be left unattended, especially over a long period of time. The best solution in the off-season is to charge the battery to 70%, and then regularly check if the charge is dropping.
At Whoosh, it's not just people who are responsible for the service and maintenance. A special IoT module is built into the scooters, which analyzes the condition of all the electronics of the device by itself and informs the service department of any problems. In addition, servicemen repair, wash and disinfect devices, strictly observing the current pandemic regulations.


Maintenance
Sharing scooters differ from consumer ones: the latter ones are light, small and foldable, since people take them on the metro, put them in the trunks of their cars and store them on shelves. Shared scooters should be both comfortable and sturdy. That is why there is not a single lightweight element in them - the steering wheel, sole, rack and frame - are heavy, this makes them as safe and comfortable as possible when riding. Rear brakes, two soft-grip brake levers, and a wing guard are all useful features that add convenience.
For personal scooters, this type of complete set adds an additional 30-40% to the cost. But these items cannot be found in stores, because the Ninebot factory produces scooters just for us, following specific Whoosh assembly requirements, which fall in line with our idea of comfort for users.

Our e-scooters are equipped with an anti-theft system
The smart module is constantly in touch with the sharing platform. When the operating system recognizes an attempted theft, it will transmit a signal and geotag to the RRT (Rapid Response Team).

It's not always economic to purchase a scooter if it doesn't become your main mode of transport over another. You still have to pay for taxis, car sharing and other public transport even if you have already forked out a large sum for a personal scooter.

Don't forget about the seasons. How many times will you use the scooter in a single season? How much will you pay when buying a scooter? € 700 - 1200. Calculating the ROI (Return on Investment) is not difficult when you know your travel plans.
