e-Motive delivers affordable green scooters

UK-based company e-Motive, hoping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, had launched a series of electric scooters at prices starting from only £1399. Powered by the most modern electric battery and motor technology, running the e1S, e1, e1+, e3 and e5 models cost for as low as one pence per mile. According also to e-Motive, the vehicles can keep up with the petrol-fuelled scooters.

Speaking during the launch, Paul Williams, Managing Director of e-Motive, said that owning an affordable, zero-emission scooter is practical and desirable. He further added that e-Motive is the first scooter company to make electrically propelled vehicles an option for the UK’s ordinary consumers.

The e-Motive scooters will only be sold in 25 London and South East England dealers, where the public will have a chance to test-drive the vehicles. Each scooter has a two-year unrestricted mileage warranty, free roadside assistance, and after-sales dealer support and servicing.

The e1 scooter model comes in three variants, namely the e1S, e1 and e1+.

The e1S has a 2KW electric motor and a low cost silicon battery. It can run at 28mph and can cover 35 miles. Alternatively, the regular e1 costs around £1,999 and can travel over 40 miles, while the e1+ model is sold at £2,249 and can journey up to 50 miles.

The £2999 sporty, mid-range e3 however tops out at 55mph and can reach up to 70 miles on a single charge. Meanwhile, the top of the choice e5, valued at £3999, can reach a maximum speed of 65mph and can travel 80 miles.
