eevee’s smooth new rides are straight-up stealing the show on Vancouver streets

Electric scooters have only gotten cooler and hipper over the years. Of course, they are still pro-environment, affordable, low maintenance, efficient and all those other great things but they’ve also become more stylish, one model at a time. So, it did not take Vancouverites long after their legalization in the city to switch to these tech-forward rides. Interestingly, the city’s micro-mobile scene just got a lot more stylish. Exhibit A: Metro. Exhibit B: Cypress.

These sleek new models have made their way into eevee’s, Vancouver’s first and only one-stop-shop for personal electric vehicles. And we mean one-stop in the real sense of the term. In addition to the most extensive variety of PEVs and accessories they house, the store is also popular with newbies for the free lessons they offer. They even provide you with a vehicle for learning in case you want to try before you buy (which btw you can also do by taking a demo run).

Circling back to these cool new kids on the eScooter block, let us give you a few specs to truly make you see why they are such a big deal…
