Committed French creator of electric scooters

Clean scooters

The electric vehicle is presented as clean because it does not emit any polluting particles when using it (« from tank to wheel »). This cleanness is not necessarily the same for electric power that fills the battery. This is why we also calculate the CO2 emissions ("from well to wheel") by measuring the electric power stations. It differs a lot from one country to another. In France, the carbon print is very light due to the massive usage of nuclear plants but also because of the country's compliance with the international agreements (Kyoto etc...), policies and sequestration techniques of greenhouse gas at its source but also the constant augmentation of the share of renewable energy.

A better carbon balance than petrol engines

Thus, the eccity has a carbon balance that is well inferior to a petrol equivalent, especially for its use, even if one takes into account the production of the battery, which is very small for a scooter.

The use of electric power is economic and brings a better yield (no belt, no cogs, no loss of heat, native start&stop system: it does not consume anything at the red light).

The energetic gain in use brings a 10x advantage to the eccity125. The maintenance cost is limited to tyres and brake pads.

Reducing the environmental impact

It is also called « clean » because it does use any oil, any polluting, smelly and dirty gasoline. It does not cause any noise pollution. eccity motocycles vocation is to commit itself to the respect of European directives promoting clean road transportation and low energy consumption (2009/33/CE). This commitment goes beyond the use and charge: it deals also with concrete actions and a permanent search with our partners to reduce the environmental impact related to our production.

Our scooters are made in France, more especially in the South of France. We support employment in France and develop an expert line on this topic.

A sustainable vehicle

From an economic point of view, the purchase of an electric scooter has a good return on investment compared with a petrol scooter:

Actually, because of the longevity of its battery (minimum 50,000 km - the battery then keeps 70% of its capacity) and of the reliability of its electric parts, the residual value of an electric scooter remains superior in time, with a lower cost of use.

The eccity is odourless. It has no tailpipe, no gas or oil leaks, it does not emit polluting gas or particles.

The energy balance from « well to pump » is unquestionable because electric scooters' carbon balance is several times inferior to any equivalent petrol scooter (140g to 210g of CO2 emission for a thermic compared to 2g to 8g for an electric scooter).
