Ever wondered what the EV revolution looks like on two wheels? According to Dan Collyns, Lima's streets are buzzing with electric scooters and three-wheelers, not cars. These compact rides are cheap to run, easy to charge, and increasingly common citywide. 🛴⚡
Since early 2025, a wave of local startups has put e-scooters on almost every corner. For young professionals juggling classes, freelance gigs, and weekend meetups, it's a mobility hack that slashes commute costs and carbon footprints. 🌿💸
Charging stations are sprouting at cafes, co-working spaces, and markets—just plug in your ride while grabbing your daily coffee. With quick battery swaps and intuitive apps for unlocking and payments, the whole process feels like ordering your favorite takeout. 📱☕
Lima's three-wheelers are also stepping up, giving a mini tuktuk vibe for last-mile connectivity. They're perfect for hauling groceries, gear, or friends across tight streets—minus the noise and fumes of a gas engine. 😂👥
For South and Southeast Asian cities facing similar traffic snarls and air quality challenges, Peru's micro-mobility boom offers a fresh blueprint. Could your city be next? Keep your eyes—and e-scooters—ready! 🌏✨
