 Electricity

We are continually experimenting to develop new sources of electricity by utilising the natural elements such as solar, wind and wave power.  
Epeds electric motors are highly efficient and capable of speeds in excess of 40mph, and in many cases can outperform their petrol driven scooter counterparts! In China, where scooters are prolific, electricity is now responsible for powering in excess of 80% of those used in and around the major cities there.


Economy

Fuel costs have spiralled over the last year making the running of petrol powered transport extremely expensive. Epeds are fully charged in 5-8 hours at an average cost of 9-12p (depending on your energy provider). This will take you 35 miles* on a full charge making them extremely cheap to run - for example, a road user driving 20 miles a day would expect electricity costs of £15 per year!  Epeds are also extremely low maintenance with main serviceable parts being the brakes, tyres and lights. They’re no slouch either – take a look at the specifications of our machines and judge for yourself.

Environmentally Friendly

Simply put, NO emissions means cleaner air! We are continually bombarded with evidence of the damage we are doing to our surroundings. In today’s busy world, travel is essential to us for both work and leisure. We are not preaching that you should stop doing the things you love, but opinion is unanimous that we must take a more responsible approach as to how we get around. Epeds Scooters are the perfect first step, offering a pollution free, environmentally friendly, cost efficient mode of transport.
