5 Benefits of Electric Mopeds & Scooters for Fleet
In recent years, many companies have started to electrify their corporate fleets by replacing ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles with electric ones. This change can bring numerous benefits, including cost savings, reduced environmental impacts, and an enhanced corporate image. Here are five benefits of electric mopeds for fleet:
1. Reduced Costs
One of the most significant benefits of electric mopeds are their low running costs. With no fuel to purchase, electric scooters and mopeds cost only a fraction of what it would cost to run a petrol-powered alternative. The cost of electricity required to charge an electric scooter or moped is significantly lower than petrol, which can save fleets a substantial amount of money over time.
Maintaining an electric scooter or moped is significantly cheaper than petrol alternatives as well. They have fewer moving parts than petrol mopeds, which means that they require less maintenance over time. They do not have oil filters, spark plugs, or other components that need to be replaced on a regular basis, reducing maintenance costs.
Moreover, electric scooters and mopeds have a longer lifespan, which means that they do not need to be replaced as frequently as petrol powered scooters and mopeds.
By electrifying their fleets, companies can save money on vehicle running, maintenance and replacement costs. Over a long period of time these savings amount significantly.
2. Reduced Environmental Impact
We’re passionate about Zero Fuel at Benzina Zero—our name means Zero Fuel after all.
Electric mopeds and scooters are a much more sustainable option compared to their petrol-powered counterparts. Without the need for fuel they produce zero running emissions. Additionally, electric scooters are made up of significantly less parts than petrol scooters reducing the environmental impacts of the manufacturing process of an electric scooter.
The ball represents 1 tonne of CO2—the average amount of CO2 per annum produced by a petrol scooter or moped.
By using electric mopeds, businesses running fleets can reduce their carbon footprint and help to create a more sustainable future. The future is Zero Fuel, and we’re glad to be a part of it now.
3. Reduced Maintenance Costs
Electric motors have a clear advantage over internal combustion engines (ICE) when it comes to maintenance costs. This is because electric motors have fewer moving parts compared to their combustion counterparts, which means there are fewer components that can wear out or break down over time.
Additionally, electric motors don't require oil changes, spark plug replacements, or regular tune-ups. Overall, this translates to lower maintenance costs for electric motors, making them a more economical choice in the long run.
4. Improved Safety
When it comes to safety, electric mopeds and scooters once again are a better choice when compared to their petrol powered predecessors. Firstly, electric mopeds and scooters provide smooth and instantaneous acceleration, reducing the risk of sudden jerks or jolts. Secondly, they don't emit harmful pollutants, reducing the rider's exposure to toxic fumes. Thirdly, Benzina Zero scooters are designed to have the lowest centre of gravity due generally to the heaviest component, the battery, being located centrally and as low as possible within the vehicle.
You can see almost all the components of the duo. The battery is located centrally below the riders feet.
And lastly, they produce very little noise pollution compared to petrol-powered mopeds and scooters, making them a more environmentally friendly and a pleasant option for both the rider and those around them.
5. Brand Image
Electric vehicles are an excellent way for brands to improve their image by demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. By choosing electric vehicles, companies can showcase their dedication to reducing carbon emissions and creating a better future for the planet.
Additionally, electric vehicles are associated with cutting-edge technology, innovation, and modernity, making them an attractive choice for consumers who value these traits. By embracing electric vehicles, brands can demonstrate their forward-thinking approach.
Overall, choosing electric vehicles for your business can enhance the brand's image by showcasing commitment to sustainability, innovation, and a dedication towards a better tomorrow.
