London scooters face charging

A new range of advanced electric mopeds has reached London, with Italian styling and state-of-the-art Silicon batteries.  The scooters are comparable in power to a 50cc petrol scooter, but run purely on electricity, creating no emissions and very little noise.   If charged with electricity sourced from renewable suppliers, they really can represent totally emission-free transport.  And according to Greenpeace, electric scooters have only one tenth the environmental impact of their petrol equivalents.  They will travel 40 miles on a charge (on mixed London roads 30 miles) and once bought cost little more than a new fridge to run.  Future Vehicles have calculated that one charge costs about 10p, so the cost per mile is about 0.3p  They also are exempt from road tax, the London Congestion Charge and most parking charges. A service costs just £50.
