Scooters have always been a great way to get around Noosa, and now the electric models on offer make that choice even better, with zero emissions from your ride, coupled with great design and performance.

The Noosa Electric Vehicle Expo will be held in the Noosa Transit Centre car park, Lanyana Way, on Sunday 21 March 10am-2pm. Entry is free and more information can be found at www.noosaevexpo.com.au.
