In stepping up from a bike to a moped, the costs go up too
. But what do you want? If long-term savings and fun along the way are a goal, then a moped is a good choice. There are claims that e-mopeds or scooters could pay for themselves within a year with regular or daily use. No gas, oil, repairs, along with reduced car insurance rates for driving it less, all adds up. It is said that the X-treme model 5000Li has an efficiency equivalency of 250 MPG. This is one of the latest introductions to the electric moped market. Whatever formula is used, the local cost of electricity, along with the fast recharge capability of lithium-ion batteries and their long and lasting power output certainly has a lot to do with it.
