Commuting in France is still largely dominated by car, with an average daily distance of around 15 km .

However, more and more employees are looking for faster, more economical, and more environmentally friendly alternatives. The electric scooter , a micromobility solution (EDPM), is emerging as an ideal ally for daily commutes.

At LA MAISON DE LA TROTT' in Toulouse , we support each user in choosing, maintaining, and even renting their scooter to test before buying. Why adopt an electric scooter for your daily commutes? Save time and enjoy flexibility.

Why choose an electric scooter for your daily commute?

Time saving and flexibility

With an electric scooter, you can bypass traffic jams and parking problems. Thanks to its compact size and weight of less than 20 kg , it is easily transportable in a car or on public transport (train, bus, metro), allowing you to combine your journeys and fully exploit multimodality.

Economical and ecological

Unlike a car, an electric scooter doesn't consume fuel and its maintenance is inexpensive. It allows you to significantly reduce your transportation costs while also lessening your environmental impact.

Comfort and practicality

Compact and foldable, the scooter can be stored under a desk or in a discreet corner. Modern models offer a comfortable ride , even on uneven urban surfaces, thanks to their suspension and suitable tires.
