How much petrol does a scooter use?

From our last post, us folk at scooterhire.co.nz firmly believe that the focus on the frugalness of scooter’s fuel use is … well, boring! We would rather commentate on the amount of FUN that scooters are to ride.

We must admit that the most common question that we are asked by our customers is “how much petrol do our scooters use”. Coming up with reasonable, legitimate fuel economy figures for our scooters is next to utterly impossible. There are so many variables. The rider’s weight, total load, traffic, speed, driving style, operating temperature, and many more factors dictates the fuel economy of a scooter.

In the absence of any form of official L/100kms (MPG) figures, we have been keeping track of average fuel use.

We prefer to use V-Moto Milan and Monza scooter models that are all 50cc models that have fuel capacity of up to 5-litres.

Our unofficial Fuel Economy figures are:

V-Moto Monza 3.2L/100kms (74MPG)

V-Moto Milan 2.8L/100kms (85MPG)

What does this mean – well… our scooters use bugger all petrol!

Keep in mind that these are not exact fuel economy figures and there is no guarantee that any of these scooters will return this exact mpg figure, but it should serve as a somewhat reasonable guideline.
