Electric moto-scooters
Scooters offer the least environmentally impacting, and often
most easily accessible, example of road-licensed electric transport,
achieving around a mile per penny's worth of cheap-rate, overnight
electricity!
With nil road tax and minimal maintenance they are very economical
transport.
Mini-Scooters (Mopeds)
Ideal for town and city use they can be recharged virtually
anywhere that you can get to an electricity supply (see Charging Stations)
They are generally small enough that they can be maneouvred into
the tightest spaces to get close to a power supply for recharging.
Most are designed to be equivalent to a 50cc petrol scooter
with a similar performance, limited to 30mph, which classifies
them as "mopeds" for UK licensing purposes, allowing
car drivers to drive them without taking another test, although
CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) may be required and
is recommended if you are new to two-wheels in readiness for
the different challenges compared to car driving.
Maxi-Scooters
The latest, custom-designed electric "maxi-scooter"
is now available boasting performance similar to a 400cc model
but licensed as a 125cc, making it accessible to car drivers
with CBT training. A top speed of 59 mph and a maximum range
of 51 miles (at more modest speeds) makes for a very practical
commuting machine. Fast recharging and finely controllable regenerative braking
by turning the patented throttle grip backwards give a hugely
enjoyable, entertaining ride yet which is intuitive and effortless.
It features
styling that would not look out of place on an Italian piazza
and boasts components from well respected suppliers to the motorcycle
industry, such as Brembo brakes. The long-life Nickel Metal Hydride
(NiMH) battery is supplied by one of the world's leading consumer
and industrial battery companies and is expected to last at least
50,000 miles.
  It features ample under-seat
storage for a full-face helmet and a lockable glovebox with a
12V accessory socket for mobile phone chargers etc.
Finance packages including extended warranty give assured,
low cost-per-mile, environmentally friendlier, personal transport
for years to come.
It is also very suited to public sector applications
such as policing, security patrols, parking enforcement etc.
We are experienced in supplying vehicles to police and local
authorities and can configure vehicles to suit particular requirements,
with the addition of signwriting, sirens, lights/beacons, first
aid kits and carrying capabilities (racks, cases, etc.)
