I like how it says save energy, but also says you burn 0.5kcal per step

"Calories" that would otherwise be burned by the escalator (electricity), I'm sure it uses more when under load, some of them even go in low speed mode when no one's on it.

I haven't seen escalators that do that where I'm from, but I was just joking that the claims of saving energy were in reference to doing physical work instead of not using power for the escalator.
