As part of a new series exploring electric mobility in all its forms, we've teamed up with M0veElectric to test the brand new PiaggioUK 1 electric scooter.
The Active model is the faster of the two and is good for nearly 40mph, while the base model tops out at 25mph. A full battery offers thirty miles of range, which sounds pitiful but isn’t when you sit down and work out what your city commute looks like. Piaggio is predicting that after 800 charges the Lithium Ion battery will have lost approximately 30 percent of original capacity.
There’s next to no drive train whine, but what’s more impressive is the lack of creaks and groans from the chassis or suspension. Naturally this could be because our test bike was weeks old, but it’s only when you’ve coasted along in neutral on hundreds of new bikes that you realise how many chassis sounds are masked by internal combustion.
It held a line through corners pretty well and only felt twitchy when I was forcing it to change direction too fast. Anyone that’s ridden a scooter on ten inch wheels will know this feeling. The simple fix for this is to hold on and grit your teeth, or just don’t ride it like a twit. The choice is yours but I can recommend the latter.
