The current availability of electric scooters in Australia is very limited. After extensive research we’ve only been able to locate a single dealer in each of the consumer and business focussed areas.

All of the following brands are available via local Australian retailers (either online or physical stores). Many of the brands list their local stockists on their websites, alternately you can use our list of Australian eco and sustainable toy shops or Google them.

Having taken a 3 year break from coffee I’m well and truly addicted again, and I’m ok with that. I really like my coffee. It started with coffee at work but it wasn’t long before I needed a coffee machine at home. Naturally I went looking for an eco version. The old bench top machines I grew up and had in the office always seemed to have very short lives with pumps or electronics failing.

Across Australia most new solar installations are subject to tariffs which pay the owners as little as 1/4 or less for their excess power that they export to the grid during the day than they are charged for using the same power through the evening hours.
Installing a battery system in your home allows you to instead store this excess electricity and use it yourself, avoiding the high tariffs.
