E-scooter Sightings: Celebrity Electric Scooter Lovers
Many celebrities use their fame to raise awareness of the benefits of switching to electric scooters.
The electric scooter has maneuvered to the forefront of the urban micromobility revolution. However, many remain unaware that massive technological advancements have narrowed the gap with conventional gas-powered scooters and motorcycles.
Fortunately, many celebrities are utilizing their voices to raise awareness of the advantages of modern e-scooters. Here are some outspoken lovers of the personal electric vehicle (PEV).
Jaden Smith
American rapper and actor Jaden Smith is a familiar name in the world of sustainability. He received much praise for leveraging the influence and fame of his superstar parents, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, to promote green alternatives. More importantly, Jaden Smith founded JUST Water in 2015, which sells ethically sourced and sustainably packaged bottled water. In 2023, he began carrying an electric scooter almost everywhere, showcasing his love for eco-friendly innovations.
Justin Bieber
Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber was involved in a series of unflattering headlines during the height of his popularity. Fortunately for his fans, he had matured noticeably in recent years, especially after his marriage with American model Hailey Rhode. Recently, Bieber has been regularly seen roaming the streets of California on his electric scooter.
Gordon Ramsay
British Gordon Ramsay is one of the world’s top celebrity chefs. The multi-Michelin-starred chef also owns the Gordon Ramsay Restaurants, a group he founded in 1997. He is an outspoken fan of the Ninebot Segway ES2 e-scooter, often using it to cruise the streets of Auckland.
Charalampos Grigoriou
Charalampos “The Ferocious” Grigoriou, the hottest new addition to the UFC roster, loved Infinity X so much that he became its official brand ambassador. In January, Grigoriou helped present the premium hyperscooter at the Las Vegas CES 2024, where it stole the spotlight. The Ferocious One said it reminded him of himself with its 75-mph top speed and 70-mile max range. Grigoriou shocked the North American MMA scene when he won his UFC contract by scoring a TKO less than a minute into the match.
Conclusion
It is comforting to know celebrities are using their star power to promote the electric scooter. Hopefully, more will step up to help encourage commuters to switch to the more sustainable alternative. The transportation sector generates nearly a quarter of global carbon emissions. Hence, the widespread adoption of e-scooters will significantly slow global warming and manmade climate change.
