The Eskuta SX-250 looks like a petrol moped at first glance, but under the bodywork it’s a fully legal e-bike. That means no licence, no insurance, and no tax in the UK — but you still get the style and sturdiness of a moped.
It uses a 250W rear hub motor, with a 48V 26Ah battery giving around 40–50 miles of range per charge. Top speed is capped at 15.5 mph to stay road-legal, and the whole thing weighs in at around 55 kg. The SX-250 is built tough with impact-resistant body panels, a comfy seat, and plenty of storage compartments — handy for commuting, shopping, or food deliveries.
What makes the SX-250 special?

3. Finance and delivery-friendly
