Buy an electric motorcycle of 125cc It can become tedious. There are more and more options and the market is still somewhat unknown. So it is very normal to have doubts and not know what to look exactly.
In this article in our blog we are going to list you 5 issues you will need to take into account Before deciding for one or another 125cc electric motorcycle model.
1 Autonomy
The autonomy of the motorcycle is the first point that must be taken into account. For this, you have to question how many km do I make per day? If the answer is 20 or 30 km, (10 or 15 of the first leg and 10 or 15 back) with a basic autonomy of between 65 and 80 km per hour we will have enough. If on the contrary, We perform 50 or more km a day, we will need to look for an electric motorcycle with an autonomy of more than 100 km per recharge. And so we will avoid possible "scares."
2 The batteries
Batteries are another fundamental factor When choosing an electric motorcycle. First, we must see whether or not they are removable. That is, if we can extract them from the bathtub to load them, or if they are fixed and cannot be removed. In this second option, we must have a private space to load the motorcycle.
Failing that, we can load it in a community or similar garage, where they have electricity outlet with conventional plugs. We will always prioritize removable batteries for higher comfort.
In addition, we will have to Check the battery capacity (in kWh and amps) Thus with the cells you ride. For example, it is not the same as a battery mount some 72v40ah Samsung cells than of a lower capacity or unrecognized marks.
Finally we will have to review How many batteries the motorcycle has (usually 1 or 2) And if these are mounted in series or in parallel. In the first case (in series) the battery voltage is increased, and in the second (in parallel) we would increase the storage capacity.
Thus, for a electric motorcycle We will prefer that the batteries are mounted in parallel to achieve the greatest possible capacity.
3 Post sale service
The third point to consider at the time of Buying an electric motorcycle of 125cc is the post sale service That the brand offers. Once we have bought our motorcycle, where are we going to pass the reviews? What if I have a problem? It is of vital importance that we trust that the brand or the concessionaire will respond in the event that something happens. For this, we can look at the communication channels offered by the brand, If they have customer service (in Spanish), what service schedule they have, if they have normal telephones or are the illegal 902 ...
Everything adds when choosing confidence in this aspect.
Also in the workshops that supports the technical service. Do you have a workshop near my location where to pass my reviews? Since if this is not the case we have to load the motorcycle in a van or crane so as not to lose the guarantee.
The post -electric motor sales service (called Telenext) is already known among all customers. In addition to being able to contact a normal mobile phone, they serve whatsapps, forms or even 30 -minute video calls.
The technical service is carried out with the Norauto Network and, recently also with that of Euromaster. This ensures a network of more than 290 workshops throughout Spain.
We cannot forget that Telenext is available 24 hours for any inconvenience or doubt that we can have with our motorcycle. This is choosing property!
4 possible aid or subsidies
And is that The price of the electric motorcycle is also a determined factorInante, why deny it.
In this case, since it is an electric vehicle, there are different aid and subsidies to take advantage of. Either to amortize the price of the motorcycle, or for the most routine expenses.
This is the case of the Moves III Plan, which offers up to € 1,300 for the purchase of an electric motorcycle equivalent to 125cc or higher. You can read all the info about this plan in this article.
On the other hand, there are also different aid that will depend on the different municipalities. For example, the registration tax is exempt from payment in most locations.
In addition, in each city they can also take local aid. This is the case of Madrid, which has its own subsidies for the purchase of electric vehicles.
5 extra or additional accessories
We should also check With what technology, extras and accessories tell the electric motorcycle. There are currently different extras for motorcycles such as connectivity. This is a motorcycle management/safety app by which you can handle the ignition and off, control the motorcycle by GPS, manage all kinds of alarms ... etc.
Most electric motorcycles already offer these technologies, with an additional cost and/or monthly subscriptions.
In addition to this, it should be seen What equipment comes standard. For example, the motorcycle can come with alarm, remote control, back, 4 flashing and/or other accessories such as-line or USB to load devices during march. If the electric motorcycle we want includes all this in the price, we can be happy with our choice.
Last but not least we have to take into account the price of enrollment. Each brand usually sets the price that your manager indicates but it should not be forgotten that this procedure can be done privately, thus saving us an expense.
The enrollment of the electric motorcycle must always be optional, and no brand must "force us" to perform it directly with them.
