-1200 € off the Seat MO 125 electric scooter (from €5175)

Seat’s electric scooter, developed with Silence, is benefiting from a very attractive promotional offer that brings it close to €5,000.

Electro-mobility is becoming increasingly affordable. This trend applies to both cars and two-wheelers. Prices are constantly decreasing, thanks to more efficient industrial mechanics enabling economies of scale. Competition is driving down material costs, customers are less “eccentric” than in the beginning, and the electric logic has now established itself.

In cities, it doesn’t take much observation to notice that scooters are quieter than before. And for good reason, a large segment has already shifted to electric. In Paris, the situation is quite obvious.

Seat slashes prices

To reduce its average CO2 emissions, Seat was an early mover in selling an electric scooter, the MO, available in 50 and 125 cc equivalents, developed in partnership with Spanish company Silence.

Initially expensive, the MO 125 has already lost almost a third of its initial price. A key feature of this product is its removable battery, which can be carried like a suitcase on wheels with a telescopic handle. This is fortunate, as it weighs nearly 40 kg. Not easy to lift into your home if there’s no elevator…

Recharging takes place from a standard outlet between 6 and 8 hours, and the range can reach up to 133 km! And thanks to electric magic, the MO 125 has a reverse gear for easier maneuvering.

Limited to 95 km/h in its Standard version, it can reach up to 105 km/h in the Performance trim. Sadly, the price is significantly affected by rising features, as the suspension, braking, and accelerations are revised.

The Standard, usually offered at €7,200 (minus €900 eco bonus, so €6,300), is currently discounted to €5,175. The Performance version now costs €6,800—a small additional cost that might not be justified for daily commuting.

The 50 cc version is even cheaper

For city-dwellers tired of unreliable public transport, the MO 50 version is certainly expensive, but its features are worthwhile. Limited to 45 km/h and available from age 16, its price is €4,300 after bonuses, and its range can go up to 176 km!

Less well-made and less safe Chinese scooters will always be cheaper, but Seat’s offer deserves consideration if safety influences your choices. The reliability of the Spanish brand is on par with the market’s historical players.
