Which electric moped is right for your London commute?
Match your distance, speed and licence to the right vehicle — from the easy everyday moped to the long-range one.
Which electric moped is best for commuting in London?
For most London commutes the Askoll eS3 (£179/month) is the easy everyday choice — light, simple, Italian-made and the quickest in the fleet (41 mph, up to 54 miles). The Yadea GFX (£249/month) is the light, app-connected option and the Yadea OWIN (£289/month) adds classic styling, cruise control and up to 50 miles of range — both are 28 mph mopeds suited to inner-London roads. If you’d rather skip the licence, the CYCL Carr-e and ETT Trayser 2.0 cargo e-bikes need no CBT.
Choose by three things: how far you ride, how fast you need to go, and whether you have a CBT. All Moon Fleets vehicles are fully electric, ULEZ-exempt, and come with insurance, servicing, GPS and an anti-theft lock on a month-to-month subscription, so you can switch if your commute changes.
Which moped is best for short, everyday commutes?
If your commute is a few miles across town, the Askoll eS3 is ideal: light, nimble and efficient, easy to filter through traffic and easy to park. It needs a CBT and is made in Italy.
They’re the workhorses of the fleet — simple, reliable and the lowest-priced mopeds at £179/month.
Which moped is best for longer or faster commutes?
If you cover more ground or ride on faster roads, pick the Askoll eS3: 41 mph and up to 54 miles of range. The Yadea GFX and OWIN are L1e mopeds limited to 28 mph, so they suit inner-London commutes on 20–30 mph roads rather than fast A-roads. All three need a CBT.
The Yadea OWIN is the comfort pick: hydraulic suspension front and rear, cruise control, one-touch reverse and up to 50 miles from a removable battery. The Yadea GFX weighs just 55 kg and unlocks keyless through the Yadea app.
No CBT? Which no-licence option should you pick?
If you don’t have a CBT and don’t want one, the CYCL Carr-e (made in Italy) and ETT Trayser 2.0 (designed in England, 50–60 mile range) are electric cargo bikes that need no licence. You ride them like a bicycle, with motor assistance up to 15.5 mph.
They’re also the cheapest way in at £125/month, and great if you carry bags or want to use cycle lanes.
