Charging a DAB motorcycle is significantly more cost-effective than running a petrol motorcycle, a car, or relying on public transport. The main running cost is electricity for charging.

To give a clear idea, the examples below use typical residential electricity prices and average daily commuting distances.

France

Charging a DAB motorcycle from low to full battery typically costs around €1 to €1.50, depending on your electricity tariff. With a real-world mixed range of up to 150 km, this means the cost per kilometre is extremely low. The average daily commute in France is approximately 13 km.

For a typical working month (around 20 days), the cost of charging would be only a few euros per month. This makes a DAB one of the most economical ways to commute, especially when compared to a petrol motorcycle, car, or public transport.

United Kingdom

Charging a DAB motorcycle at home typically costs around £1.50 to £2 for a full charge, depending on your electricity supplier and tariff. With a range of up to 150 km, a full charge comfortably covers several days of average commuting. The average daily commute in the UK is around 11–12 miles (18–19 km). Over a typical month of commuting, charging costs generally remain well under £10 per month.

In short

Running a DAB motorcycle costs just a few euros, pounds, or dollars per month in electricity for everyday commuting—making it a much more economical option than petrol motorcycles, cars, or public transport.
