125cc-Scooters

For many of us, 2011 will be a tough year. The global economic predicament is piling stress onto the regular person who is now having his normal salary and disposable income diminished in the face of it. Above all others, one monetary challenge is rearing its face more definitively - fuel costs. The need to be more careful with our money this year will lead to many people evaluating which parts of their weekly spend they can cut down on and one of those will be the daily commute. As a result of this, many of us will turn to products and services that aim to lower our spending - more for less will be the rule of many and themes like downsizing will be a typical discussion point over dinner. What parts of your life could quickly be downsized? One of the options that will see a massive resurgence this year will be the use of 50cc and 125cc scooters.

Unlike last year, 2011 will experience huge growth in sales of learner legal motorcycles and economical 125cc scooters which is a stark contrast to the bad sales figures of 2010. The unavoidable fact of 2011 is that travel costs are rising and we are all under more pressure to get 'more for less' and this is why we will see a resurgence in learner legal 125cc scooters hitting the roads. But 2011 won't just stop there. Electric is the in thing and there is a huge and growing trend for 125cc electric scooters. For these popular sci-fi scooters, petrol is a thing of the past. They run completely on electric batteries and can be recharged from the confort of your own garage.

Even now, ahead of the craze of electric has really set in, we've seen a surge in interest for one specific scooter model; the Tamoretti Electric Retro 125cc Scooter. The Tamoretti 125cc electric scooter has already been able to build up pre-launch energy and there's even a healthy order book already in place. You can count on the retro electric scooter to be on the market to buy from as early as April with pre-launch road tests possible from May. It will be similar to petrol varieties in terms of performance, with a top speed of 45km per hour, a maximum range of 45km and will only take between 5-8 hours for a full charge. What makes the Tamoretti electric scooter an even better price proposition is that in contrast to many of its electrical powered buddies, its price is not only on par with petrol scooters, but in many cases is actually better. £1299 inc VAT on the road. Even some of the best priced 50cc, 125cc and certainly retro scooters won't be able to meet this price - and that's not even taking into account the infinitely lower running costs of the electric version. Perfect for the challenging year ahead.
