Want an electric scooter?

Home » Blog » Guests » Want an electric scooter?

By Gavin Healy

Buy Good and you could win an electric scooter!

I bought an electric scooter five weeks ago and it is absolutely amazing. It’s extremely satisfying to know that you are doing your bit for the planet—but then you release how much it costs to run, and it seems crazy not have one.

To be honest, I haven’t even noticed it on my electricity bill but it should only be costing me $8 to run for a month! This means that my initial investment will only take one year to pay off and after that I’ll be saving about $2,500 a year.

We want to give our readers an opportunity to own one of these funky, cost-effective scooters from ElectroScoot. Pop into any Whitcoulls store, buy the latest issue of Good, post us the entry form and you will go into the draw to win one of these nippy scooters … and make sure you check out page 101 of the mag for all you need to know about driving an electric scooter in New Zealand.

Please note this retail promotion is exclusive to Whitcoulls

    With 700,000 cars in the city of Stockholm (population: 1.3 million), the Swedes love driving almost as much as New Zealanders. But by the end of the year, some 90,000 of those cars will be driving ‘clean’, using alternative fuels or emitting less than 120 grams of CO2 per kilometre. Here’s how Stockholm did it.

Intrepid Volunteers Challenge
GoMad

To celebrate and support New Zealand’s volunteers, Good magazine and Intrepid Travel have created the Intrepid Volunteers Challenge (gomad.co.nz) and social networking site, so charities and volunteers like you can connect and bring change.

The big idea is simply to reward our unsung heroes and make it easier for new volunteers to find a project that suits them. The Intrepid Volunteer of the Year will win a $5,000, all-expenses-paid Intrepid Travel volunteering holiday to any destination in the world, with spending money from Good magazine.
