Electric vs. Combustion: Which Motorcycle to Choose for You?
Deciding between an electric and a combustion scooter can be a dilemma. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, and the best option will depend on your needs and lifestyle. Let's analyse the key differences.
1. Performance and Riding Feel
Electric scooters offer instant, silent acceleration, ideal for urban traffic. Combustion scooters, on the other hand, may have a longer range and a more traditional riding feel, with the characteristic sound of the engine.
2. Range and Charging/Refuelling
The range of electric scooters varies, requiring charging points or removable batteries. Combustion scooters offer a longer range and are quickly refuelled at any petrol station.
3. Cost and Maintenance
Electric scooters have a higher initial cost but much lower maintenance (fewer moving parts, no oil changes). Combustion scooters are cheaper to buy but have higher fuel and maintenance costs.
4. Environmental Impact
Electric scooters are zero-emission at the point of use, contributing to better urban air quality. Combustion scooters emit gases, although modern models are becoming increasingly efficient.
