Welcome to ONE MOTO the region’s first electric motorcycles.
As the world turns their heads towards electric transportation, the need and demand arises for a sustainable form of mobility and it needs to be affordable (without compromising quality, safety and the experience).
As announced in TechRadar.com; The UAEs first electric motorcycles are preparing for their market launch.
Dubai-based start-up One Moto aims to change the landscape of logistics delivery
A Dubai-based start-up is revving up to launch its first electric motorcycles, designed and developed in the UAE, by the end of September.
Adam Ridgway, CEO of One Moto, told TechRadar Middle East in an exclusive that he and his partner in the UK have been developing electric scooters – Electa for commuter (a vintage model of Vespa), Byka for delivery market and the Commuta (more designed for the European market). There are also two Emiratis as partners.
“We intend to change the landscape of logistics delivery. We have designed these bikes and we also have a range of parcel delivery vehicles planned for next year.
Ridgway believes that there are around 12,000 bikes on the UAE road and the average cost of a petrol bike is between AED 8,000 and AED 11,000 and the cost of the delivery box above that.
“If an average rider travels around 100km a day, he spends on average of around AED 7,500 on fuel every year and AED 150 for servicing and the maintenance cost, apart from queuing up at petrol stations. So, the average investment comes to around AED 25,000 for the first year.
No Salik and registration fees
The biggest advantage of an electric bike, Ridgway said is that a user doesn’t need to pay for a Salik Tag and no registration fees as part of government incentives.
“The one main reason we developed the bike is to be environmentally friendly. After the aeroplane and cruise liners, a petrol motorbike is more harmful than an SUV and bus.
Taking a personal investment of time and financially, ONE MOTO has beaten the odds through R&D, design, build, unrelenting testing to deliver the sustainable alternative for two wheeled transport in the region. Expansion plans are already in discussion with many countries throughout the GCC – with energetic distribution talks continuing.
