The best electric moped for delivery in London (2026)
Askoll vs VMoto vs NIU — which delivery e-moped fits your shifts, zones and licence.
What is the best electric moped for food delivery in London?
The best electric moped for delivery in London depends on your zones, hours and licence. For most riders the Askoll eSPro 70 is the sweet spot — light, Italian-made, 41 mph, ~50-mile range and the easiest to handle in traffic, from £69/week. Riders doing long peak-hour shifts or longer cross-town trips do better on the VMoto Super Soco CPx (56 mph, twin batteries, ~65 miles, £79/week). The NIU NQi GTS suits central, shorter-zone riding (43 mph, ~40 miles) but is limited stock.
All three are L3e mopeds needing a CBT, are fully electric (no ULEZ, no congestion charge), and at Otto come with hire-and-reward insurance, GPS, servicing and breakdown replacement bundled in. If you’d rather skip the CBT entirely, a no-licence e-bike (ETT Trayser 2.0 or Cycl Carr-E) is the alternative.
Askoll eSPro 70 — the all-rounder
Light, slim and Italian-made, the Askoll eSPro 70 is Otto’s most-rented bike for a reason: it’s nimble through London traffic, quick off the line, and easy for newer riders. With 41 mph and ~50 miles of range it covers Zone 1–3 delivery comfortably. From £69/week, all-inclusive. CBT required.
VMoto Super Soco CPx — the long-shift workhorse
If you chase peak-hour earnings or ride longer routes, the twin-battery Super Soco CPx is the pick: 56 mph and up to ~65 miles, with removable batteries you can swap mid-shift for effectively unlimited range. From £79/week. A1 or CBT.
NIU NQi GTS — smart and city-nimble
The connected NIU NQi GTS (43 mph, ~40 miles) is ideal for central, shorter-distance zones. Stock is limited, so it runs on a waitlist — from £75/week.
No CBT? Consider an e-bike
If you don’t want to take a CBT, the ETT Trayser 2.0 (60-mile battery) and Cycl Carr-E are no-licence e-bikes that use cycle lanes and are often faster than a moped on central routes — from £49/week.
