Some 125s are under £2000. So thats a £7500 difference. Or at the 100mpg a 125 will do as a minimum about 100k miles of fuel if the electric was free. At the cap of 29p/kWh and 10mi/kWh - realistic for UK use - that leaves another £2900 or another 40k miles on the 125. Break even is at around 200k miles which the battery will never do and when it needs to be replaced it will cost more than another 125. Sounds like a bargain to me.

Perfect if you live in town? What if you want to be able to leave town now and then? Going to need another bike to go with it, aren't you? As for that price - a 125 isn't exactly thirsty in the first place so you're going to need to do a lot of miles to make that difference up. You say "only" £100 per month - £102 actually - but thats with an £1866 deposit - enough to buy a really decent 125 and have no monthly payment at all. You also said insurance will be cheaper - might want to check that because insurance for ev's has been going through the roof and its unlikely you're going to insure a ~£10k bike for the same as a ~£4k bike anyway. Oh and on the range. You tried it in probably the best conditions it will ever see. Perfect temps, no standing water, low speeds and short runs. That range will drop a long way when its in the UK in winter.

The most recent figures I could find showed that there are over 2000 battery stations in Taiwan and, as there are only slightly more petrol stations at about 2400, it's possible that there may soon be more battery stations than petrol stations on the island.
