With fuel prices moving again, we compare the monthly running cost of an EV with a 70cc or 100cc petrol bike.
Running costs are where an electric scooter really pays off. A typical 70cc petrol bike covers around 50 km per litre, so a rider doing 40 km a day burns roughly 24 litres a month. An electric scooter like the T5L uses only a small amount of electricity for the same distance.
Use the savings calculator on our home page to put in today's petrol price and your own electricity rate — the difference over a year is often enough to cover a big part of the scooter's price.
Add in fewer moving parts, no oil changes and no tuning, and maintenance costs drop too.
