Smoother Driving Experience

An electric two-wheeler does not get heated while driving, and it is easier to commute through it compared to an internal combustion two-wheeler. Electric vehicles don't have a combustion engine which results in no exhaust, giving electric two-wheelers a noise-free and smooth operation. Additionally, since there is no gear train, driving is hassle-free because the driver doesn't have to pay attention to shifting gears. Additionally, compared to internal combustion engines, electric engines vibrate less (even those with counter-balancers to reduce vibrations). Electric motors emit 50% less carbon dioxide than a typical gasoline engine, making them significantly more environmentally - friendly than those powered by gasoline. Due to these advantages, electric two-wheelers are simpler to operate than petrol-powered two-wheelers.

Government Initiative towards Renewable Energy

Saudi Arabia experiences extreme heat and humidity, experiencing a daily rise in temperatures of up to 2-3°C from the previous year. To address this issue, the Saudi Arabian government introduced regulations encouraging the use of electric vehicles, which may reduce air pollution.
