My first ride on a scooter, electric or otherwise. Great fun, makes complete economic sense and, oh yes, no toxic fumes for others to breath as you scoot along.

Check out Gogoro (https://www.gogoro.com/tw/en/) ! It’s another well-designed electric scooter with smart battery swapping system
Glad you said Vmoto aloud – I misread it as Vimto

Technically, and logically, a push bike doesn’t have pedals … and I think you’re talking about a pedal bike which some people do refer to as ‘push bikes’, but it makes no sense.
Anyway, love the show.

hi Robert whats all the new hype about super caps being used instead of batteries? I would be nice if i could get a comment back please. I love the battery scooter, I have been using one for over 2 years now, but mine has 3 wheels
I wonder if they will sell in the USA
There are multiple moto sharing companies poping-up across Europe.
Most of them use the electric scooters, because it’s more economical for them to recharge the scooters by swapping the battery.
Are vmoto-uk still trading?
2k …….. they cost 500£ in china ….. come on
This too expensive. The mid range model cost the same as a Honda pcx 125. And as someone has pointed out, these cost less than £1k in China where they come from.
good advice be prepared someone pull out at everyside road friend was killed by white van not looking .
in KFC malaysia, they uses electric bike for delivery, which they’re similar to the one in your video, which they are also made in china but rebadged by a malaysian company called eclimo.
Love her shoes.
she have a sexy accent…
inserting that u don’t need a cbt. I was under the impression you had to have a cbt for all scooters upto 125cc or 15bhp and was the law. guess is different for electric bikes?
Love the show! Could you guys review the Boxx Corps scooter?
Isn’t that scooter covered under the AM category of a standard drivers licence? Surely, that means that `L’ plates (and `D’ plates in Wales) are not required.
Must check gogoro out!!! That thing is no joke
That accent of hers!!!
Lived in Nanjing – they are everywhere with dedicated bike lanes. And very cheap – £300 for the type of machine advertised.
Can these be used in the United States?
Bit of bull shit 99 percent of rev and go bikes in the uk are 4 stroke ,, not many 2 strokes about now

I want one, now!
When I visited southern China (Canton province) last year, the city was full of electric scooters. There was literally not a single petrol driven one. I don’t know if it was government subsidies or just resource monopoly and cheap labour combined but those things were as cheap as 320€ new. When I told people that this was surprisingly progressive for a city where the air makes your eyes burn, they told me it had been like this for years.
Honestly Robert, you’re like a cross between a drama queen and a kid with a new toy, but you do bring a lot of joy to us. Thank you! Go check out the sleek Gogoro scooter with its battery stations as well as the Mahindra Genze 2.0

i drove a leaf the other day. first time i drove an electric car, and i adored it, but i think i need more time at driving an electric car to get used to it before i think about getting one permanently.
I own a couple of cheap electric scooters here in China . They are much cheaper here , but also lower quality . Everybody has them . The lead acid batteries last a couple of years , and a new set costs about $100 here . The range slowly decreases as the batteries slowly degrade , and you replace them when it becomes a problem . They are just fine for short hops and are quiet and clean . Only about 1% of people wear helmets while riding them in China 🙂
It’s a great concept but I’d need far more range and something more powerful. 30mph simply isn’t safe if you’re having to ride around many parts of London.
It suddenly became quite clear to me as I was sitting in another traffic jam on the way to work, scooters and motorbikes are the future. So I did my CBT and bought a little Yamaha YZF R125, it does 70mph easily and costs £12 to fill, which takes it 300 miles or so. This to me is far more environmentally friendless than for example a Prius and takes less space on the road or parking bay than a car. Electric scooters and motorbikes may be the future, but simply using a normal 125cc motorbike doing 100 mpg has got to be an environmental improvement over a car.
I would like to see a model that can do 70 mph with a 100 mile range and an extractable battery. . Would I be able to buy it in the USA???
Im from Liverpool but love Islington
