Electric vehicles are seriously taking over, and now there are a ton of manufacturers jumping onto electric motorcycles and mopeds, giving us a fair few exciting options to choose from. 

For that reason, we’ve decided to put together a top ten list of all the best options. If you’re looking to ditch the petrol, maybe save some money, or just want a more futuristic style, you’re in the right place! 

 

Price	Power	Weight	Charge Time	Seat Height
£4,830	3.6hp	111kg (with battery)	4 hours	785mm

Kicking us off in number 10 is the Vespa Elettrica, and honestly, it earns its place on this list. It’s sleek, silent, and seriously stylish, and brings that classic Vespa charm.

The noiseless engine creates a smooth, enjoyable riding experience, perfect for zipping through city streets without making a sound, and the design? Chef’s kiss. With a 3-inch LCD dash and Vespa MIA as an extension for your smartphone, it brings a lot to the table.

Vespa continues to evolve its mission to be as comfortable and practical as possible with this one; the removable battery is easy to recharge, and thanks to its eco riding mode, you can achieve a range of up to 52 miles. It also has a sport mode if you’re feeling a little daring and reverse to make your life easier. 

Being totally honest, I wouldn’t mind one for myself. With a price of £4,830, it’s a little bit more expensive, but I suppose if you want something more timeless and stylish, then it really is a good option! 

 

Price	Power	Weight	Charge Time	Seat Height
£3,299	2.2hp	95kg (with battery)	6 hours	740mm

Up next is the Honda EM1e; this moped has a modern and sleek aesthetic, and it’s one from a reputable brand, too. The compact design of the EM1e ensures stability when making slow and small turns, and its lightweight design makes the handling super easy and efficient. It’s electric motor delivers 2.2hp for decent acceleration. 

It has a range of 18 miles with one battery, but driving in eco mode can get you up to 30 miles. With a 0-100% charge time in 6 hours with a 240V charger it’s not the quickest but if you need a quick charge you can get from 25%-75% in 2 hours and 40 minutes.

It has a handy inner pocket and rear carrier that allow you to take a few extras for your journey, and an optional 35L top box to secure even more luggage, the top box does fit a full-face helmet if this is something you’re after.

For £3,299, it's a more affordable option, making it an attractive choice for city commuters. The EM1e really does offer solid value without compromising on quality or style.

Price	Power	Weight	Charge Time	Seat Height
£2,949	4.7hp	95kg (dual battery)	3-4 hours	810mm

The Vmoto Supersoco TSX is the perfect urban commuter, it stands out in the electric moped field due to its aggressive graphics, making sure to turn heads on every ride. 

With its large 17-inch wheels, USD front forks, and mono-shock rear suspension, this bike delivers a stable and confidence-inspiring ride. The front and rear disc brakes, enhanced with CBS offer safe stopping power. 

The high-performance Bosch motor makes for snappy acceleration and fully charges in about 5 hours offering you up to 64 miles of range with a removable dual battery, however, bear in mind this can vary due to different driving conditions. ‘Green Mopeds’ now state that the TSX now only comes as dual battery.
 
For added peace of mind, you can even download the TSx app, allowing you to see important information and even run a function check to ensure that everything is working as it should. 

Price	Power	Weight	Charge Time	Seat Height
£2,395	3.75hp	102.5kg (one battery)	4.5 hours	780mm

Next in line is the Horwin EK1, yet another modern design with smooth contours and bright colours. It’s got an intelligent display and LED lights to complement its sleek aesthetic. The electric motor produces 3.75hp and has enough power for 55 miles of range with a single battery or 103 miles with dual batteries.  

When it comes to safety and comfort, the EK1 has a CBS braking system, matched with the hydraulic front and rear shock absorbers, which ensures a smooth and stable ride. As well as this, the large footboard and wide seat are ergonomically designed, so you’re definitely in for an enjoyable ride.

Price	Power	Weight	Charge Time	Seat Height
£2,299	2hp	101kg (one battery)	3.5 hours	740mm

In sixth place on the list today is the Keeway Blueshark 45, equipped with a magnet gear motor, dual batteries, and lots of cool tech features.

Some of its other neat tech includes smart sensors, a keyless ignition, and using the remote key or fingerprint scanner. Also adding extra security, it has a built-in tracker which can be viewed via the Blueshark app on your phone. In addition to this, it has a built-in camera system that acts as a dash cam, recording all your trips. 

Not stopping there, it also has not three but five driving modes…I feel like the list just goes on! 

With a range of up to 99 miles using dual batteries, you’ve got plenty of power for longer rides. A single battery charges from 0 to 95% in just 3.5 hours, or 7 hours for both batteries. While that might sound like a long time, it’s not too bad when you compare it to the Honda EM1 on the list, which takes nearly as long to charge but only delivers around 25 miles of range. 

Overall, for £2,299, this moped really is packed with enough tech, suitable for urban commuters. It’s even got a 10-inch full colour HD display!

Price	Power	Weight	Charge Time	Seat Height
£2,299	1.8hp	83kg (one battery)	6-7 hours	750mm

Coming in at number five is the Niu MQI + Sport, which is an urban-focused electric moped designed for everyday city commuting. It’s powered by a 1.8hp Bosch motor and it comes with a removable lithium battery. 

Built with lots of tech, it features a crisp LCD dashboard, integrated GPS, anti-theft alerts, cruise control, and full NIU app connectivity that monitors 200+ data points and provides over-the-air updates so you’re in for a smart ride. Its 360-degree lighting system and improved GPS system adds extra safety and ensures you have full visibility on the roads. 

The MQi+ Sport has two charging modes and gives you a range of 28-40 miles, and with the help of its EBS energy recovery system, it works to extend the range of the energy generated after braking, back into the battery pack! 

The only downfall has to be the long charge time of 6-7 hours…but with under-seat charging, removable battery convenience, and thoughtful touches like footrests and storage, the MQI+ Sport blends practicality, style, and tech into a great commuter. You can get hold of this one for £2,299. 

Price	Power	Weight	Charge Time	Seat Height
£1,995	2hp	116kg (one battery)	3-4 hours	700mm

The Silence S02 is lightweight, nimble, and cost-effective. It’s ideal for younger riders and those looking for a more budget-friendly way to get around. It has 2hp and has a range of up to 35 miles on a full charge, with a charge time of 3-4 hours using a standard UK 240V socket. 

The removable batteries make life easier by being able to charge them up at home, as I said, they are chargeable from a normal socket. The ‘click and click and go’ trolley-style battery is fairly heavy, weighing 27 kg; however, its trolley-style means you can easily transport it without having to worry. 

The S02 comes with ventilated CBS disc brakes on 14-inch front and 13-inch rear wheels, where its brushless hub motor resides. If you’re looking for a delivery moped, this one provides a platform for large boxes up to 350L, and if a passenger seat is required, a separate pad can be provided, dependent on the top box. For £1,995, it's a decent and affordable little run-around.

It’s Bosch Hub motor provides a maximum 3.7hp. This is supported by its 10kg battery providing up to 40 miles of range, its battery can be removed and fully charged in 6-7 hours, and you can have an optional fast charger for a 3.5-hour charge time, which may be preferred. 

Due to its low-fitted hub motor, the CUx Ducati has a very low centre of gravity, making it very agile, nimble, and overall, an enjoyable ride. You can get connected with the added feature of your own app where you can see all important information and track your bike if needed. For £2,899, it’s not a bad price for its smart, fun styling and Ducati branding.

In second place is the Yamaha Neo’s!

This futuristic-looking moped is powered by a super quiet, hub-mounted electric motor and battery, giving it strong yet controllable acceleration. Its comfortable, agile and compact design makes it a top-quality option, and a reliable one for sure. 

This one also has a removable battery, giving a range of 23 miles. It’s not a lot I know, but it can be extended by purchasing an optional second battery. The Neo’s has two selectable ride modes designed to suit different conditions and preferences, with the ECO mode reducing the battery consumption, brilliant if you have longer trips planned. 

Its battery is located under the seat, and with this, there are 27 litres of storage space to accommodate one open face helmet or any other personal belongings you may need, ideal if you’re heading out for the day. This is Something not many e-mopeds can claim, so it truly makes it a standout option.

Of course, this one has the Yamaha MyRide app, making it easy to stay connected when riding. It displays all messages, calls and notifications, and you can access all moped information for peace of mind. 

Overall, the Yamaha Neo’s is a trustworthy ride and one with lots of style, you can get your hands on this for the sum of £3,126, a tad more expensive than some others on the list; however, with a reputable brand like Yamaha, you’d have to expect it. 

Price	Power	Weight	Charge Time	Seat Height
£2,815	1.6hp	85kg (one battery)	6 hours	770mm

Now, the moment I know you’ve all been waiting for… taking first place is the Piaggio 1. This standout electric moped blends quality with modern performance, delivering 1.6hp from its efficient motor and giving you 34 miles of range in ECO mode. 

It’s a quiet, smooth, and, of course, emission-free ride that’s perfect for commuting. The 5.5-inch full-colour digital display fits seamlessly into the contemporary design, adding a high-tech touch to its stylish frame.
Thanks to recent upgrades to the power unit, the Piaggio 1 now offers improved response, zippier acceleration, and better performance on inclines. Its lightweight build makes it incredibly easy to handle, giving you a fun, effortless ride every time. And while the removable battery is tucked neatly under the seat, there’s still enough under-seat storage to fit a open face helmet, and like I said earlier, you don’t find this often, so I’d take it! 

Onto the price side of things, this one sits at £2,815. All things considered, it’s hard to argue against it. With standout style, impressive performance, and everyday practicality, it ticks all the right boxes. Can you really go wrong?
