Electric-powered mopeds are modern vehicles suitable for inner-city and suburban travel. The same category also includes motorbikes with an electric motor, whose speed does not exceed 28 miles per hour and scooters with a gasoline engine of 50 cubic meters.
Modern electric scooters do not require high operating and maintenance costs. In addition, they have long-lasting batteries.
Today a number of models of electric mopeds are the most popular and in demand in the UK.
Peugeot E-Ludix
The predecessors of the model are ordinary Ludix on internal combustion engines, which have been produced for the last 15 years. At the moment, the electric version is a popular budget option in many European countries.

Features of the vehicle are:
- drive range: 31 miles;

The 2.5 kW electric motor provides a continuous movement of the vehicle for a distance of more than 30 miles at a maximum speed of 31 miles per hour. The product has an affordable price. It is recommended that you purchase this model only from reputable, trusted suppliers who can provide quality warranty service for a long period of time.
It takes 4 hours to fully charge the battery. It can be charged 2000 times.
To increase battery life, the E Ludix model uses a kinetic energy recovery method to induce a certain amount of charge when the vehicle is braking.
The model belongs to the class of lightweight scooters. Its mass is only 88 kg. In terms of ease of movement and maneuverability, E Ludix is not inferior to electric scooters in many respects.
