Cycling retailer Halfords has revealed sales of its e-mobility products have nearly tripled over the last year.
The group has already said they grew by 184 per cent in the first half of the financial year, and is expecting a considerable number of e-scooters to be bought for Christmas.
Demand for the product, alongside bicycles and electric bikes, have surged in 2020 as environmental concerns have risen and people avoid using public transport because of fears of contracting the coronavirus.
Halfords is training another 1,500 techniciams to help service the growing trade in electric mobility vehicles like electric cars, e-scooters and e-bikes
It is training another 1,500 technicians to help service the growing trade in e-mobility devices and is further urging the UK government to legalise e-scooters on public roads. At the moment, only rental e-scooters are allowed under a trial scheme that began in July.
