ELECTRIC BIKES & SCOOTERS

Zippe electric scooter launch

Fed up of ever increasing petrol prices?
 
In the current climate of rising fuel costs and Manchester’s looming congestion charge, the Zippe is the answer!

Unique in its market, retailing at just £899, the Zippe is a scooter with style. And who can argue with:
· zero emissions (100% electric)
· FREE road tax
· 0.2p per mile

You don’t need to be a hippy to drive a Zippe!
 
With us all being encouraged to lower our carbon footprint, the Zippe helps us do our bit, without so much as popping a single bottle into the glass bank!

Electric scooters are cleaner, greener and definitely a lot more fun! My scooter gets me through the traffic with ease and feels safe and sturdy to ride. With the cost of petrol, insurance, parking and the proposed congestion charge, what could possibly make more sense than a non-polluting, cheap and joyful new way to get around? With a top speed of 30mph, don't imagine you will be dawdling along in the slow lane either!" Hanna Sillitoe

Charging

The Zippe comes with its own charger which you can plug into any ordinary plug socket! A quick charge takes about 5 hours whilst a full charge will take approx 8 hours. We recommend charging overnight so you're ready to go the next morning. Some cities are now installing kerb-side & car-park recharging points.

Electricity companies charge electricity in units of kWh (Kilo-Watt-Hours). The cost for 1 kWh is about 5-8p depending on your supplier. Your charger uses less than a kWh to charge the batteries.
