Why Petrol Mopeds Are Better Than Electric Scooters.

If you're considering moped hire in London, you may be interested in knowing the benefits of petrol scooter rental compared to electric.

In this post, we will explain why petrol mopeds outperform electric, as well as discuss the reliability, affordability and how petrol mopeds can even help you make more money as a delivery driver.

Scooter Range and Performance

When you hire a petrol moped in London, you will be surprised by the range you get from a single tank of fuel. Most of the scooters available to hire from Ugo Scooters have an impressive 100+ mpg, which makes them ideal for zipping around London as a whole.

If you work for Deliveroo and Uber, being able to get a lot of miles out of a single tank of fuel is very important. That's because the longer you can stay on the road, the more money you can make. Whereas an electric scooter has limited miles you can due to the battery needing a charge, which means you have to stop working while you charge up the battery, reducing pay. 

Drivers of electric scooters have also reported they feel anxious not knowing if the battery is going to run out while they are a long way from their home. In comparison to a petrol moped, you can simply stop at a local petrol station for a quick refuel.

Moped Power and Speed

Moped hire in London is the perfect way to get around due to the amount of congestion. You can hire a 125cc moped from Ugo Scooters which has a top speed of over 60 mph, and with their agile and nimble ride style, you will be able to zip through traffic with ease.

It is these performance credentials which make petrol mopeds a better option compared to electric ones, especially if you have hills to climb such as Alexandra Palace in North London, where electric scooters will certainly struggle.

Simply Add Fuel 

Electric scooters need a battery which will have a limited amount of miles per charge. What this means is that you will be required to charge a battery for between 4-6 hours at a time. If you work as a delivery driver,  being unable to work due to having to charge your battery can mean you are not earning any money. 

Whereas petrol scooter hire allows you to stay on the road for longer periods, maximising your time and pay.
