How to Gain Up to 85 Hours Per Year with an Escooter

Choose the best escooter for your commute in 2025

In 2022, 3.6 million adults in Australia used an escooter, which is about 18% of the adult population. And this year, you could be joining them!

If you’re yet to consider an escooter, think about this. A recent survey showed that, shockingly, Brisbane was one of the worst cities for traffic in the whole world! Typical Brissy commuters experienced 84 hours lost per year just in traffic alone. Whereas, Melbourne residents lost 65 hours per year and Sydney 51 hours per year.

But this is an Australia-wide issue.

In 2002, the average commute time was 3.7 hours per week and by 2017 this had shot up to 4.5 hours per week.

Below, is the average commute time for each Australian capital city according to this survey:

  • Sydney: 71 minutes
  • Brisbane: 67 minutes
  • Melbourne: 65 minutes
  • Perth: 59 minutes
  • Adelaide: 56 minutes

All which seem to increase as the years pass.

Not only is that incredibly frustrating but imagine what you could use that time for – spending it with family, learning a new skill, taking up that dream hobby or investing in your health with some exercise or meditation.
