The now paying parking in Paris for two-wheelers has not finished crinizing teeth. If most bikers and scooterists show their dissatisfaction, others make the choice to comply with a so -called “green” mobility, by acquiring an electrical model, exempt from parking fee.

Paid parking of two-wheelers in Paris, what are the options ?

From September 1, 2022, the city of Paris pays parking for the thermal two-wheelers. Digital is the point.

What permit for a motorcycle or an electric scooter ?

Like any scooter or motorcycle, the 2-electric wheels require a specific permit before taking the handlebars. There are 4 categories to control a two-wheeler.

AM license (ex BSR)

Formerly BSR, the AM license allows to drive what the highway code calls a “moped”. Accessible from the age of 14 through 8 -hour training, this permit is the only one outside the points system. People born before 1988 do not need a driving title or training, although it is still recommended to circulate safely.

With the AM license, it is possible to drive a moped, scooter or displacement motorcycle less than 50 cc (or electric equivalent) whose maximum speed is limited to 45 km/h. Electric scooters and motorcycles must comply with this speed imperative and generally carry an engine of less than 4000 watts (W).

A1 permit or license B + 7 -hour training

Accessible from 16 years old, the A1 license allows you to drive motorcycles and scooters from a displacement (or equivalent) up to 125 cc and less than 11 kW (15 horses). This category is also accessible to holders of the B license for at least 2 years accompanied by a training of 7 hours. People who have passed the permit before March 1980 are exempt from training.

A2 and A license

The A2 permit is today an imperative step to lead a motorcycle of more than 125 cc. Accessible from 18 years old, this permit authorizes the management of a motorcycle or a scooter of less than 35 kW (47.5 horsepower) whose power/weight ratio is less than or equal to 0.2 kW/kg. It is also possible to drive a “restrained” motorcycle whose native power is less than 70 kW (95 horsepower).

After 2 years of A2 license, it will be necessary to pass an additional training of 7 hours to obtain the permit A. Once all the conditions met, it is possible to drive any 2 wheels without limitation of power, maximum speed or displacement.

For electric vehicles, the power retained is nominal power. Some vehicles can exceed this power during certain phases; it’s crest power. The latter does not influence the categorization of the vehicle. The BMW CE-04 scooter exists in an A1 version, developing 11 kW, but which can go up to 23 kW in crest, while being compatible and in accordance with this category of license.

The advantages of an electric two-wheeler compared to thermal

Beyond the free parking in Paris, the electric two-wheelers have some arguments to assert their combustion counterparts.

Without explosion or fossil fuel, the motorcycle or the electric scooter is more ecological and does not emit CO2 or fine particles. The engine producing almost no noise, it can be more easily accepted by the neighborhood at start -up at 5 am in the middle of your residence. In addition, this absence of noise and the few vibrations caused by the engine make driving different. The sensations are more internal, the air flow and rolling noises are more present and certain electric motorcycles, with a sharp chassis, give the feeling of flying on the road.

With very few moving mechanical parts, the electric two-wheeler requires reduced maintenance. More emptying or costly revision, it is simply necessary to monitor the condition of the tires and the braking system (platelets). No need to grease or extend the chain, most electric motorcycles and scooters with a belt, when the engine is not directly located in the wheel. Be careful, however, an electric two-wheeler is not exempt from maintenance: tires, brakes, hoses and ground connections will always be monitored over the kilometers.

Sides Performances, electric motors benefit from their high torque and available from the lowest diets, which gives electric vehicles a powerful thrust that surprises many people in the red light, large thermal displacements included. Without moving parts, electric motors naturally oppose less inertia, making driving softer.

What criteria to choose your electric two-wheeler ?

The power

The first criterion to take into account when acquiring a motorcycle or an electric scooter is obviously power, which must be compatible with your license category. If you want a 50 cc equivalent, the two-wheelers must be restrained at 45 km/h. With permit A1 or B + training 7h, nominal power should not exceed 11 kW and 15 kW for a tricycle. A2 permits will be able to buy a machine up to 35 kW, while permits will have free field to opt for the mount of their choice.

Autonomy, recharge and battery

Like any vehicle, autonomy is a decisive point when buying. The average autonomy announced by manufacturers is often optimistic, and is to be adapted to the use. In town, the electric motor takes advantage of its instant torque and a possible regenerative braking system, allowing the battery to recharge during the braking phases. This allows certain models such as the Zero SR to announce up to 250 km of autonomy in the city; In reality you have to count on 200 km at best. On roads and highways, the consumption of the electric motor rises to the rhythm of the autonomy which melts as snow in the sun. You will have to pay attention to the type of journey that you will make to choose a two-wheeler that will suit you. With the Zero Srpar Example, on the road, even by having fun with the right handle, the autonomy can exceed 150 km. Forget the highway, however: you will not exceed 100 km by driving between 110 and 120 km/h, .

The load system is also important. If most thermal motorcycles and scooters approach the 300 km of autonomy and full lasts more than 3 to 4 minutes, electric motorcycles and scooters need much more time. It will therefore be necessary to monitor the load power, the number of batteries as well as the capacity of each. The way of recharging is also important. Some models such as the Super Soco CPX have removable lithium-ion batteries allowing them to be recharged at home or in the office with ease. Others require cable from a socket, sector or type 2, to be connected to the motorcycle.

This is the black point in our opinion electric two-wheelers: forget the road trips with friends, make way for switch exclusively. With the Zero SR for example, in standard configuration, it will take more than 3 h 30 min just to go from 20 to 95 %. It’s sad. The FXE – whose test is being written – requires more than 9 hours to go from 10 to 100 %.

The presence or not of a rapid load also differs according to the models and the charging time thus depends on the power of the eligible current and the capacity of the batteries. If you have a nearby terminal or a wallbox at your home – or you can have one installed – it shouldn’t be a problem. Otherwise, the solution to remove the batteries to recharge them in the mains authorizes greater flexibility, at the cost of a charging time often much longer. For example, on the Super Soco CPX, it takes 3 hours to load one of the two lithium batteries from 20 to 100 %.

Equipment and practical aspects

Motorcycle, or scooter, as in car, comfort and safety equipment differ depending on the model. Depending on your needs, it is essential to choose the right frame.

ABS – compulsory for motorcycles and scooters of more than 125 cc and equivalent – is a minimum. This device prevents wheels blocking during supported brains and keeps vehicle control. It is obviously recommended to choose a motorcycle or a scooter equipped in this way, whatever the power. In addition to this, the most efficient vehicles have a traction control, regulating power to limit adhesion losses during acceleration. This device makes sense of powerful electric vehicles deploying all of their resources from the low regimes. There are also different modes of power, allowing to adjust the response of the accelerator depending on the situations, in town, on the road or in rainy weather.

In terms of practical aspects, you will have to monitor the space of a possible chest and storage space. Thermal scooters very often embark a chest allowing to house up to 2 helmets, while motorcycles generally only embark on a small space to best store a block block or an anti-theft under the saddle. On the other hand, in electric, the legendary chest of scooters loses space (until completely disappeared on certain models such as the Niu MQI GT) in favor of batteries, while certain motorcycles win a trunk at the location of the tank. We can store the cables and sockets necessary for recharging, some accessories such as rain clothes, but hardly more. Depending on the configuration chosen and the number of batteries, the size of the trunk can thus vary for the same model.
