What is electric moped rental for delivery riders in London?

Electric moped rental lets London delivery riders working for platforms like Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Just Eat, Stuart and Relay rent a fully insured electric moped on a flexible weekly contract. The rider pays a fixed weekly fee that covers the vehicle, hire-and-reward insurance, GPS tracking, free servicing, and breakdown replacement.

Most schemes require no upfront deposit and no credit checks, with a four-week minimum term. Many riders search for an “electric scooter”, escooter or scooty — in the UK the road-legal delivery vehicle is an electric moped (L3e), which is what Otto rents. Riders need a valid CBT certificate, obtainable in one day from any DVSA-approved London centre for around £130. Otto Scooter has offered this service in London since 2019, with a fleet of over 580 electric vehicles serving more than 2,000 delivery riders.

Electric vs petrol

Why rent electric instead of a petrol moped

£0

No ULEZ, no fuel

Zero-emission means no ULEZ and no congestion charge, ever. Charging costs roughly £2 a week against £20+ in petrol.

Less to go wrong

No oil, no clutch, no exhaust. Fewer moving parts means fewer breakdowns — and servicing is included anyway.

Swap, don’t refuel

Removable batteries charge from any 3-pin socket. No queueing at a petrol station mid-shift.

Frequently asked

Do I need a CBT to ride an electric moped in London?
Yes. Otto’s electric mopeds require a valid UK provisional (or full) driving licence plus a CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) certificate. A CBT takes one day at any DVSA-approved London centre and costs around £130. If you’d rather not take a CBT, our electric bikes need no licence at all.
Is insurance included with the rental?
Yes — every Otto moped rental includes comprehensive hire-and-reward insurance, valid across Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Just Eat, Stuart, Relay and private work, from the moment you collect the bike.
How old do I have to be?
You must be at least 17 to ride an L3e electric moped, and hold a valid CBT and provisional/full licence. Most platforms also require you to be 18+ to deliver — check your platform’s own rules.
Are electric mopeds ULEZ-compliant?
Yes. Every Otto electric moped is zero-emission, so there is no ULEZ charge and no congestion charge anywhere in London — a saving over petrol mopeds every single day you ride.
Where do I charge it?
From any standard UK 3-pin socket. The batteries are removable with carry handles, so you charge at home, in a shared hallway, or wherever you park — no dedicated charger or wall-box required.
What if the moped is stolen or breaks down?
Every bike has a GPS tracker monitored 24/7 and theft claims are handled in-house. If a bike breaks down, call or WhatsApp the workshop — in most cases we swap it for a replacement at Hammersmith the same day, free on every rental plan.
