Evee S1 Pro vs United US 100cc Scooter – EV vs. Petrol

Why would you want a scooter instead of a motorcycle? A scooter is comfortable, has better sitting posture, and offers more goodies for the same price.

If you want an electric 2-wheeler, go for a scooter. EV motorcycles look very unattractive because of the big plastic box on the engine side that stores batteries. Now, you have two best choices: either a petrol scooter or an EV one. EVs have a larger market, and you’ll find more options for EVs than for petrol ones.

Our best two competitors are the United US100cc (Petrol scooter) and the Evee S1 Pro (all-electric scooter).

Let’s compare these two bangers and see which one is dope:

Petrol vs. EV Scooters

In short:

• Petrol one is dependable; you don’t need to worry about charging, and it’s just a no-fuss. 
• EV one is not for everyone; there are a range of issues, and battery replacement is so expensive, but at this cost, you get a very cheap running cost.

You can take your United scooter anywhere in Pakistan you want. But you can’t do that with Evee S1 Pro; it’ll run out of battery even before you reach the GT road.

Before you buy an EV, just make sure to calculate your daily route. If your office-to-home route is 60 Km and EV range is equal to or less than 60 Km, EV is a waste of money for you. The range must be 30 Km more than your daily route because you don’t want to tell your colleagues, “We can’t go outside; otherwise, I’ll run out of battery,” if they are planning to go out.

On the other hand, a petrol scooter is no fuss. The running cost might be higher than an EV one, but you get a tension-free vehicle. Running out of fuel? Just stop at a nearby pump and get it refilled in seconds—it’s that easy.

However, EVs have the benefit of low running costs. A petrol scooter like United US100cc does about 40 Kmpl, which is about Rs. 6 per Km at Rs. 257/l petrol. Evee S1 Pro does 60 Km in one charge, or in real life, it’ll be 50 Km. At Rs. 40 per unit electricity price, it’s Rs. 2 per Km.

Tech and Goodies

Both are equal. Both provide all the essential and necessary features that you would need, and all are necessary, no gimmicks. United One offers a fuel gauge, RPM meter, ignition lock, CVT transmission, disc brakes, and alloy rims, which is all you need in a 270k budget.

The Evee S1 Pro is also a great option in terms of features. All the features that you get in United one, you also get that in S1 Pro, besides RPM and fuel gauge of course.

Power and Performance

The United US100cc scooter is far, far more powerful than EV S1 Pro, it’s simple. 

• United scooter one is 8.5 HP
• S1 Pro scooter is only 1.5 HP

There’s literally no comparison in terms of power between the two scooters. The petrol one throws the S1 Pro out of the water in terms of performance. United has a max speed of 95 km/h, while the S1 Pro has a max speed of 60 km/h.
