Weebot presents our range of 50cc electric scooters
Here is our catalog of 50cc equivalent electric scooters. Ecological vehicles designed for urban travel and can be driven without a licence.
What are the points to consider before buying a 50cc equivalent electric scooter ? Lighter and more manageable than 125cm3 electric scooters , the 50cm3 equivalents are very suitable for short urban journeys and allow you to easily sneak around town in traffic.
Why ride a 50cc electric scooter?
Taking the metro at rush hour is rarely fun. If the individual car is reassuring with its private cabin, it does not represent the future of mobility in extra-urban areas, unlike the electric scooter which takes up less space on the road but also in terms of parking.
To drive in an ecological way
Particularly attractive for cities, the electric scooter emits no polluting gases in circulation. A huge advantage for you with the feeling of participating in a good action for the planet. No more going to the gas station!
Your electric scooter can be recharged on a simple power outlet in just a few hours. While most models provide one (or more) removable battery, take the time to take a good look at this feature if you don't have a garage at home with a power outlet nearby.
For quiet operation
Another significant advantage is the silent operation of electric scooters . It is particularly pleasant to ride with. Noise pollution is the next battle horse of cities after air pollution. Some cities are already beginning to equip themselves with anti-noise radar to automatically report noisy two-wheelers.
To make savings
Electric scooters are a particularly economical means of transport. With the price of fuel constantly rising, an equivalent 50cc electric scooter consumes on average between €0.20 and €0.60 of electricity per 100 km . So think of the many savings that await you with use. The more you ride, the more you earn!
To play the game of comparison, a 50 cc thermal scooter consumes on average between €6 and €11 of fuel for 100 km.
Low maintenance unlike a thermal model
On the maintenance side, you are both a winner against a thermal scooter. Electric motors require no maintenance. Bosch brand ones are particularly reliable and of high quality to last many years with your two wheels.
These electric scooters have regenerative brakes that allow both to recharge the battery, but also to wear the brakes less through use.
Benefit from Subsidies
If the purchase price of a 50 cm3 electric scooter can put off, be aware that there are many subsidies (just like the electric bike) which can be combined in many cases. We invite you to browse both our blog which deals with the subject of premiums for electric scooter but also our summary page of grants for electric two-wheelers .
To briefly summarize, there are 3 types of subsidies for the purchase of an electric vehicle. Help from the state , your region and your city. If you are a professional, the aid from the region can go up to 1500 euros for example, which represents a huge part of the price of the vehicle.
No permit needed
It is also not necessary to have a license to drive a 50 cm3 equivalent electric scooter. Only the AM license, formerly BSR to drive from the age of 14 (or 8 hours of training) is sufficient unless you were born before January 1, 1988.
Being able to use the bus lanes in Paris
The last point essentially concerns the city of Paris, which has just made accessible bus lanes to electric scooters , as well as electric motorcycles. This allows these non-polluting vehicles to move around the capital even more easily. This could well soon be extended to many other cities in order to further facilitate citizens' transition to electricity.
How to choose the right 50 cm3 electric scooter?
It is important to identify your needs when buying a 50cc electric scooter. You must first calculate your budget, taking into account the subsidies which will automatically lower the final price of the vehicle.
For her looks
Choosing the right scooter means buying a model that you like for its look. Some have a classic scooter appearance, others surf more on the vintage trend ( 2Twenty Roma ) while some models have a downright atypical look like the Miku Max from Sunra. It's all about having fun, even if that doesn't guarantee that it will meet your needs.
Check the maximum autonomy
When it comes to electric vehicles, this is the essential point that can make all the difference for users. It is possible to find models with several batteries (usually 2 batteries) to be able to extend the maximum autonomy. But we would like to remind you that the subsidy on these electric vehicles only concerns the purchase price of a single lithium ion battery.
The e-scooters in our range have a range of 50 km to 60 km, or even 70 km, 90 km or even 130 km depending on the model. Plenty of things to do, especially in urban areas. The Model E50 from RED Electric allows with 4 lithium batteries to reach 300 km of autonomy . But this represents a much larger budget.
Do you absolutely want to benefit from a removable battery to plug it into your home, or can you recharge your vehicle directly from a power outlet? What is the use of your two wheels? Only an urban journey of less than 10 km to reach your daily work or to enjoy the weekend on longer routes? The larger the battery, the greater its weight. This is to be considered with a removable battery which can weigh between 10 and 20 kg.
Engine power
The power of an electric motor determines its acceleration capacity. The higher the engine power, the greater the purchase aid will be (but still capped) as will the price of the vehicle. Depending on your build, it may be wise to invest more or less in a powerful motor (2000W, 3000W, 4000W) in order to fully exploit the capabilities of two wheels (or 3 wheels) up to 45 km/h . Because if the maximum speed is not an end in itself in this category, the acceleration torque allows to sneak with ease in any situation; both in heavy traffic and on steep slopes.
The maximum speed
With 50cc electric scooters, the top speed is capped according to French regulations at 45 km/h. This is sufficient in urban areas, especially since with this category you will not be able to use the expressways.
Driving comfort
The cycle part is a good indicator of road holding. This is therefore important for the quality of driving comfort, especially in town where the driving phases can be more complex between the many accelerations, braking, changes of direction of electric scooters and electric motorcycles. Good wheels, pleasant suspensions and effective braking are therefore essential.
It is also necessary to have enough space for the legs and the seat on the saddle to be comfortable during your scooter journey. Do not hesitate to try the machine before to find out if it suits you.
A larger electricity subsidy
This is a point that can tip your choice on one electric scooter over another. For example, the Horwin EK1 electric scooter with its 40Ah battery is eligible for an ecological subsidy of up to 720 euros for individuals. This makes it possible to lower its price by almost 25%! Which is far from negligible when you want to go electric.

Sunra Miku Max
If you are looking for an electric two-wheeler with a classic design, go here your way. Sunra's Miku Max is anything but conventional. At Weebot, we like this modern design of a mini electric motorcycle with a C-shaped frame that leaves a large void under the seat. The free space under the saddle therefore allows, without having a trunk, to have a much larger storage space by using, for example, cargo nets on each side.
The Sunra Miku Max is very pleasant to drive , with a very low center of gravity thanks to the placement of the removable lithium battery (60V 20Ah) in the floor. If its Bosch brushless motor is not the most powerful with 800W, the driving pleasure is in the agility of this two wheels. The driving position is very close to electric motorcycles.

It is also possible to activate the electric reverse gear to both simply park or even perform maneuvers in the middle of traffic.
