How we calculate running costs

Electricity costs are calculated from your scooter's battery size (voltage × amp-hours), divided by charger efficiency (typically 85%), multiplied by how often you charge based on your weekly mileage and the scooter's range. We use the current UK average electricity rate of 24.5p per kWh.

Maintenance costs are amortised annual estimates. Battery replacement assumes a 3-year lifespan for sealed lead-acid batteries (~£240 replacement) and 5 years for lithium-ion (~£300). Tyre costs assume one set of replacement tyres per year at typical prices. Servicing covers an annual dealer check including brakes, steering, and electrics.

These are estimates based on typical UK usage and pricing. Your actual costs may vary depending on your scooter, how you use it, and local service prices. For a detailed breakdown of purchase costs, see our mobility scooter cost guide.
