Fewer Emissions with Light Electric Vehicles

Pekka Valkeapää, the owner of Pekan Sähkökiituri, has turned his long-time hobby of light electric vehicles into a business. Pekan Sähkökiituri is a company specialized in light electric vehicles in Lappeenranta, that sells, rents, services and repairs those vehicles. The selection includes mopeds, ATVs, scooters, kick scooters and senior scooters. Light electric vehicles are significantly more affordable to use in urban transport compared to cars, and they are environmentally friendly and fast for getting around. There’s also no need to search for parking, since these vehicles can be parked like bicycles.

As a Greenreality partner, Pekan Sähkökiituri commits to three sustainable development goals. The main goal is to reduce private car use in the city, by raising awareness about the light electric vehicles’ possibilities and environmental benefits. Their benefits compared to private cars are their affordability, both in purchase and use, agility and of course, ecological benefits. The second goal is to offer and market the proper recycling and disposing of old batteries to customers through the company. The third goal is to start recycling plastic and biowaste within the company.
