At Electric Scooters London, we believe environmental commitments should be specific, measurable and communicated honestly. That is why we fund one tree through Tree-Nation for every product or service we sell.
Our planting activity is recorded in the Electric Scooters London public Tree-Nation forest, where customers can view the trees funded and the planting projects supported.
Our commitment: For every product or service sold by Electric Scooters London, we fund one tree through Tree-Nation.
What our commitment means
Our one-tree commitment applies to the products and workshop services sold by Electric Scooters London. This includes electric bikes, electric scooters, parts, accessories and repair or servicing work.
When a product or service is sold:
- Electric Scooters London funds one tree through Tree-Nation.
- The contribution supports a planting project available through the Tree-Nation platform.
- The funded tree is recorded in our public Tree-Nation forest.
- Project and species information can be viewed through the corresponding digital tree record.
The customer does not need to purchase a separate tree. Electric Scooters London funds the contribution as part of our ongoing commitment.
Why we work with Tree-Nation
Tree-Nation connects individuals and businesses with reforestation, agroforestry and ecosystem-restoration projects around the world.
The projects available through its platform can include:
- restoration of degraded forests and landscapes
- planting native tree species
- mangrove restoration
- agroforestry projects combining trees and crops
- biodiversity and habitat restoration
- projects involving local planting organisations and communities
Each project has its own location, tree species, environmental objectives and planting methods. The project receiving support may therefore vary, rather than every tree being planted in one country or through one organisation.
Tree-Nation also provides a digital record of planting activity. This gives us a transparent way to connect our sales with a defined action that customers can view for themselves.

Our public forest is the best place to see our current planting activity because its figures continue to change as more products and services are sold.
Depending on the information available for each project, visitors can view:
- the number of trees funded
- the planting projects supported
- tree species and planting locations
- project descriptions and updates
- Tree-Nation's estimated carbon capture figures

Using the public forest means we do not need to hard-code a tree total into this article that could quickly become outdated.
How environmental impact is reported
Tree-Nation provides participating businesses with a digital forest that functions as an impact dashboard. The figures and project information displayed in our forest are supplied through the Tree-Nation platform.
Any carbon-capture figures shown should be understood as estimates based on Tree-Nation's methodology. They are not a complete product-by-product life-cycle assessment of the electric bikes, scooters, parts or services sold by Electric Scooters London.
Does planting a tree make a purchase carbon-neutral?
No. We do not claim that funding one tree automatically cancels the complete environmental impact of a purchase or makes an individual product carbon-neutral.
Electric bikes, electric scooters, batteries, components, packaging and deliveries all have environmental impacts. Accurately calculating those impacts would require detailed information covering:
- raw-material extraction
- component and battery manufacturing
- product assembly
- international and UK transport
- packaging
- energy used during the product's life
- maintenance and replacement parts
- end-of-life reuse or recycling
Important: Our Tree-Nation programme is a defined tree-planting contribution. It should not be interpreted as a claim that Electric Scooters London, our products or individual customer purchases are carbon-neutral.
Tree planting can support reforestation and ecosystem-restoration work, but it does not replace the need to reduce waste, maintain products or recycle batteries responsibly.
Tree planting is one part of our responsibility.
Environmental responsibility in the electric-mobility sector cannot be reduced to planting trees alone. It must also consider how products are selected, maintained, repaired and handled at the end of their useful life.
Our wider approach includes several practical areas.
Repairs and servicing
A worn tyre, brake problem, damaged connector or replaceable electrical fault should not automatically turn an otherwise serviceable product into waste.
Our London workshop provides electric-bike and electric-scooter repairs and servicing, helping customers maintain their products and investigate faults before replacing the complete vehicle.

Keeping products in use for longer
Regular maintenance can help tyres, brakes, drivetrains, wheels and electrical systems remain safe and serviceable for longer. Access to appropriate replacement parts and technical support also affects whether a product can be repaired economically.
Our guide to making an e-bike last longer and reducing e-waste explains how purchasing decisions, maintenance, repair, reuse and recycling can work together.
Responsible battery care
Lithium-ion batteries require appropriate charging, storage and handling. Incompatible chargers, battery modifications and continued use of damaged packs can create serious safety risks.
We publish practical guidance to help customers understand correct charging, battery warning signs and when professional advice is needed.
Battery and electrical-waste recycling
E-bike and e-scooter batteries must not be placed in household rubbish or general recycling. They require an appropriate manufacturer, retailer, local-authority or specialist battery-recycling route.
Read our guide: Can Electric Vehicle Batteries Be Recycled?
Working with established manufacturers
Replacement parts, approved chargers, technical information, warranty support and access to repairs all influence how long an electric bike or scooter can remain in service.
We aim to work with established manufacturers and suppliers while helping customers understand the practical differences between products before purchasing.
Why product longevity matters
Manufacturing an electric bike or scooter requires metals, plastics, electronic components and a lithium-ion battery. Energy and other resources are required to extract, process, manufacture and transport these materials.
Keeping a safe product in use for longer can help avoid premature replacement and preserve components that still have useful life remaining.
Repair, reuse and responsible recycling therefore remain important alongside our Tree-Nation planting commitment.
Why transparency matters
Customers should be able to understand exactly what an environmental commitment means and verify the activity where possible.
We want to be clear about what we are doing:
- We fund one tree for every product or service sold.
- The trees are funded through Tree-Nation.
- Tree-Nation records our planting activity in a public company forest.
- Customers can visit that forest and view the projects supported.
We also want to be clear about what we are not claiming:
- We are not claiming that every purchase is carbon-neutral.
- We are not claiming that tree planting removes every environmental impact associated with our operations.
- We are not presenting tree planting as a replacement for maintenance, repair, reuse or responsible recycling.
Clear, qualified information is more useful than broad claims that cannot be properly demonstrated.
Our commitment in the future
Our Tree-Nation partnership is an ongoing commitment rather than a one-off campaign. As we sell products and provide workshop services, our public forest can continue to grow.
Alongside tree funding, we will continue looking for practical ways to:
- help customers choose suitable and supportable products
- extend product life through maintenance and repairs
- provide accurate battery-safety information
- reduce avoidable product waste
- encourage appropriate battery and electrical recycling
- communicate our environmental activity transparently
Tree planting does not solve every environmental challenge associated with transport or consumer products. It is one tangible action within a broader responsibility to improve how products are selected, maintained, repaired and eventually recycled.
One product or service sold. One tree funded.

VIEW OUR TREE-NATION FORESTFrequently Asked Questions
How many trees has Electric Scooters London funded?
Our public Tree-Nation forest provides the most current record because the total continues to change as more products and services are sold.
Does every product or service fund a tree?
Yes. Electric Scooters London funds one tree through Tree-Nation for every product or service sold.
Does the customer pay separately for the tree?
No separate tree purchase is required from the customer. Electric Scooters London funds the contribution.
Where are the trees planted?
Tree-Nation works with reforestation, agroforestry and ecosystem-restoration projects in different locations. The country, project and tree species can vary. Individual tree and project pages provide more detailed information.
Does my purchase become carbon-neutral?
No. Funding one tree is a contribution to a planting project. It is not proof that the complete environmental impact of a product or purchase has been calculated or neutralised.
Can I see the projects supported?
Yes. Visit the Electric Scooters London Tree-Nation forest to view our planting record and available project information.
Why include workshop services?
Repairs and servicing can help keep existing products in use for longer. Connecting tree funding to workshop services ensures the commitment also includes customers maintaining or repairing a product rather than replacing it.
