Brakes are good - they use a 'combined braking system', where one brake lever operates both front and rear brakes, the other just the front brake - but combined with regen braking as well..

So I actually bought one in December, in my 40 =) I have lots of past car experience but somehow do not want to buy a car - to much stuff to do. So passed by CBT, and got silence S01 from green mopeds, they just had one ex-demo. Just to offset all this covid stuff and be mobile. Owning moped might cost you more than you might think - helmet, insurance was 800, + month waiting for provisional license. - it rides very very nice. Real reason I wanted electric moped is silence and no vibrations, smell of petrol etc. That works. - Another good thing that i only need to charge it once a week, which is really nice feature. Also no reason to worry that it would run out of battery or something. it took me 50% to get from mill hill east to wimbeldon and back. - I already crossed London, been on a406 and north circular. If you going to go >40 mph windscreen is very useful, I do not have one =) - really lots of space under the seat. basically all bikes having motors, chains and other stuff under the seat. this has only battery which is sitting quite low. So far I never switched it to sports or even city mode - eco is enough even for north circular. May be later then I get more XP I will switch to city. Now small bad things: - From pictures you would not really understand that battery is quite big and I am always slightly afraid to charge it in flat. Fire safety you know? I constantly want to charge it with charging on street, but that it is not that easy because cable costs. - worst thing is rear gear. it is a button, and i already hit wall in front of me once, and been close another time. in gloves it is very easy to for your finger to slip and it would go forward, fast! - speedometer is 10% wrong. very annoying. - either you have miles on speedometer and Fahrenheit or km/h and Celsius. very annoying. - no ABS Overall I am really enjoying it but keep in mind all things above. Peace and be happy!

Once upon a time, it was so easy to understand, a Moped was a vehicle that was vehicle, that was powered by an engine or motor and it had pedals to get it going. That is, you had to pedal from start to get the vehicle going from standstill. Back in the day these Mopeds " Mo Ped" were limited to 50cc in power and 30MPH speed. In the fifties and sixties, very many of these mopeds were popular, eg Raleigh runabout , being one of them, NSU quickly being another. Again, the law may have changed, or not, but with a full car driving licence you could ride one without L plates! Fast forward to today, whether it has an electric motor or petrol motor , if it requires pedals to start it moving for the motor or engine to kick in, its still a "mo- ped" and NOT a scooter.

Jack, this was mostly very good, but I do feel the need to make a few points...1/ You should have mentioned the words CBT a lot sooner in the video, along with the fact that it stands for Compulsory Basic Training. 2/ You should also have mentioned a) what a CBT costs and b) the fact that it takes one whole day. 3/ You said that the S01 has the performance of a 125, but it depends which S01 you were riding! (The Silence naming system is ridiculously confusing!).But you kept calling it a 'moped' and, as enny fule kno, all mopeds are restricted, BY DEFINITION, to 28mph. On the other hand, the higher power Silence SO1 'Connected' (as opposed to the SO1 'Urban' 28mph moped), can top 60mph and is therefore worthy of the '125 equivalent' epithet. 4/ You could of course have done your CBT on either version. 5/ There are only 2 reasons not to ride a 125-equivalent (11kW) as opposed to a 28mph moped a) You are only 16 and not allowed to ride anything faster or b) You got your full car licence before 2001 which, in those days, equated to a full moped licence anyway which means that you can ride a moped without L-plates and take a passenger. 6/ At some point you should investigate the fact that, due to a major quirk in the legislation, an 11kW '125-equivalent' electric bike or scooter can actually have three times as much peak power as a 15bhp 125cc petrol bike....and make more power on a dyno than a 650.

If you buy the Seat Mo branded version, as I did today...:-) the Arnold Clark dealerships (Seat) have an advert in Auto Trader and the bike is priced at £5200, and they are offering a free helmet (either full face or flip up). Look carefully because one of the ads states free helmet & the other doesn't. The £500 saving off the bike gave me enough for winter gloves (slightly thicker than the summer variant, a lock and a supper safety device that fastens to the back of your lid, connects via blue tooth to the bike and illuminates when you break. It will rapidly flash red under hard breaking, and should you have a fall it will call a friend or paramedic - automatically (I kid you not). I'm so looking forward to taking it out next week.... oh; the sizes for the accessaries (gloves, lid are a tad on the small size so extra large is the most comfortable.

I also have a SEAT MO branded silence. Apart from a niggle with the steering bearing which is about to be fixed, it is superb and great fun to ride. Anyone know anywhere on the web where people chat about these?

I guess that with the removable battery there is scope to upgrade in the future for better battery technology. This is something I think someone should consider before purchasing or ask silence if that's their plan.

very neat scotter

Seems like a really nice scoter. I once had an Chinese electric scooter with preproduction wiring and four 12 V, 34 Ah lead Permobil batteries under the seat, hopelessly unstable dangerous design with at most 30 km range. Still being that crappy, I heard the blackbirds singing though the helmet at full speed. How cool is that? By the way fixing a flat back tire was a project... Could I also interest you in the concept of "speed bikes" where you get just enough exercise while running around in the city at up to 32 mph or 45 kph. That might even be faster than the moped if you blend in as a regular bike (SPEED) and might use some bikers shortcuts occasionally.

Can't wait to see Jack on the latest Zero motorbike. Probably need a track to experience the top speed but fully charged live in UK will have some pavement.

I agree with Jack's comments about the throttle control. Found this criticism true of the Silence (which I test rode at FullyCharged this year) and the SuperSoco TC Max. I'm keen to try the Brekr Model B and the NIU MQi GT Evo and RQi. Zero, if by chance you read this... how about offering a smaller/cheaper model please?

Not in the Real World - you can still be refused your CBT certificate, which is a "fail" no matter what you might choose to call it.

Enjoyed the review. I wonder if anyone has same thought as me, I can see someone towing an extra battery behind them on the scooter. Jack a Moped has pedals and motor hence Mo-Ped or at least that they were called when I was a teenager, maybe things have changed 😀 This is straight up a scooter but nothing wrong with that I like just anything on two wheels, bicycles, e-bikes, scooters and motorcycles. I have more fun riding around on a scooter when I lived in the city. I could see getting one if I lived in a city and worked from home.

Like I said it would be a great idea to create loads of battery exchange points all over the United Kingdom so people can enjoy riding there electric bicycles and electric motorbikes on long journeys . Basically it would create a better future for electric bicycles and scooters motorbikes etc .

That would be a great service for delivery couriers imo, made the comment that an electric moped that I’ve recently purchased, while amazing and lovely, would not have enough range for me to rely on it to deliver things with. May end up being lucky enough not to need to, but being able to exchange batteries would be a game changer (and I think most electric mopeds don’t have a fast charging capability, so can’t use the infrastructure that’s popping up for cars everywhere now!)
