Askoll eSPro 70: real-world delivery performance
Range, battery swaps and handling — how Otto’s most popular moped holds up on shift.
How does the Askoll eSPro 70 perform for delivery in London?
On real London delivery shifts the Askoll eSPro 70 averages around 40 miles of mixed Zone 1–3 riding on a single set of twin batteries, with a 42 mph top speed that’s above the limit for every London zone. Swap in the second battery pack at home mid-shift and it comfortably covers a full 10-hour day. Its light, slim frame makes it quick off the line and easy to filter through traffic — which is where delivery time is actually won.
It’s Italian-made, fully electric (no ULEZ, no fuel), and at Otto rents at £59/week for delivery riders (£69 otherwise) with insurance, GPS, servicing and breakdown replacement included. A CBT is required.
Range and battery swaps
The eSPro 70 runs twin removable batteries (~9 kg each, with carry handles). Riders typically see around 40 miles per charge on mixed delivery routes; for longer days you can add one or two extra batteries for a supplement, charge them at home and swap mid-shift with no downtime hunting for a charger.
Speed and handling
At 42 mph it’s quick enough for every London zone, and the instant electric torque is sharper off the line than a typical 125cc petrol moped. The real advantage is weight: it’s nimble in traffic and confidence-inspiring for newer riders.
Running costs
Fully electric means no fuel, no ULEZ and pennies of electricity per charge. With Otto, servicing and breakdown replacement are included, so there are no surprise repair bills — see the savings calculator for your numbers.
