With very active riding of around 2000 miles per year, it is recommended to replace all bearings in the motor, forks and frame, but it is not absolutely necessary. A new chain and 2 new tyres will probably be required as consumable parts in that time.
As for charging and its price, the battery is 33Ah/48V and uses1.58Kw of energy to charge a battery. At an average UK price of 16.5p per Kw, it costs 26.07p per full battery charge, if entirely flat! So you can count on an average of 50 miles on a battery charge, thus 2000 miles will equate to 40 charges per year. Hence, 40 charges at a cost of 26.07p gives a yearly charging cost of a mere £10.40.
When compared to the cost of maintaining a motorcycle, at around £500 per year for a couple of routine engine services it already adds a large expense. We can add filters, oils, spark plugs, rubbers, chains, etc as potential costs too.
That’s without fuel, of course. We can use 2000 miles per year for our example. Working on an average tank of 20 litres equates to 100 miles, our 2000 miles travelled will use 20 tanks. This totals 400 litres of fuel for the year, at an average cost of £1.25 per litre, which adds up to a total cost of £500 to travel the same distance
In a 4 year period, the motorcycle will cost us at least £2000 in fuel alone, compared to less than £50 on your Boxxbike, travelling the same mileage. Even adding service costs, the Boxxbike Valykrie will cost considerably less under the same conditions. So the running costs are soon starting to offset the initial investment in your bike.
