Scooter tool
See what an electric scooter could cost you to run.
Use your own electricity price, petrol price, and yearly distance. This estimate focuses on energy spend so you can compare options quickly without pretending the same ownership pattern fits every city.
What this estimate uses
The result uses your electricity price, petrol price, yearly distance, and the selected scooter. For fixed-battery scooters, the tool estimates electricity use from battery size and real-world range. For swap-battery scooters, it uses a conservative proxy because the local plan matters more than the pack size alone.
What this estimate does not cover
This is a running-cost check, not a full ownership-cost model. It does not include insurance, finance, registration, tyre wear, or city-specific swap-plan pricing. Use it to compare energy spend first, then check charging fit and service confidence before you decide.
Is an electric scooter always cheaper to run than a petrol scooter?
Usually, but not automatically. The result depends on your home electricity price, yearly distance, and the petrol benchmark you compare against. The gap is often larger when you ride more and can charge cheaply at home.
Why does a swap-battery scooter use a proxy instead of a precise energy cost?
Because the local swap plan and network terms can change the real ownership case more than the battery size alone. The tool gives you a cautious energy-use estimate, but you should still verify the actual city plan before treating it as final.
Should I decide based on running cost alone?
No. Running cost is only one part of the decision. You should also check whether your charging setup works in real life and compare the scooter against nearby alternatives before you shortlist it.
