WHY ESKUTA?
Passionate about our products.
It’s hugely important to us that all our SX-800 gives you a long lasting and amazing rider experience. And that’s why every model is made with care and to our own exacting, almost fanatical requirements.
Our electric models are the ideal solution for environmentally friendly commuting.
Built like a motorcycle.
Costs like an e-bike.
The SX-800 is a full electric motorcycle with Whole Vehicle Type Approval. Every component is engineered for motorcycle-speed daily use — not lightweight e-bike duty.
800W Brushless Hub Motor
Super-Torque rear hub motor delivering 29mph — significantly more power than the SX-250. Smooth, responsive acceleration from standstill to top speed.
Twist-and-Go Throttle
No pedalling required. Full motorcycle-style twist throttle gives you instant power on demand — familiar to any rider with a CBT or motorcycle licence.
3 Speed Modes
Eco, Comfort, and Sport modes let you tune the ride to your needs — conserve battery on longer routes or unlock full performance for open roads.
CBS Motorcycle-Grade Disc Brakes
Combined Braking System disc brakes front and rear. The same standard used on full motorcycles — powerful, consistent stopping at 29mph in wet or dry conditions.
48V 26Ah Removable Battery
1,248Wh of capacity delivering 40–50 miles per charge. Removable and chargeable from any standard UK plug socket. Full charge costs approximately 12p.
Self-Adjusting Rear Suspension
Automatically adjusting shock absorbers smooth out road imperfections — built for the pace and demands of daily urban riding at motorcycle speeds.
Full LED Lighting with Indicators
Full LED headlight with beam, LED rear light with brake function, LED front and rear indicators. Fully road-legal motorcycle lighting as standard.
Metal Footrests with Rubber Footplates
Dedicated motorcycle-style footrests with rubber footplates for grip and rider comfort. Built for sustained riding rather than occasional pedal use.
Key Fob Alarm & Immobiliser
Key fob-activated alarm and immobiliser as standard. Dual keys, lockable front glove box. Whole Vehicle Type Approval certification — legal on UK roads as a motorcycle.
Same motorcycle.
Six configurations.
All six SX-800 variants share the same motor, battery, brakes, frame and electrical systems. The difference is in the accessories. Choose what fits your use case.
Every number you need.

Questions about the SX-800.
-
The SX-800 requires a CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) moped certificate at minimum. Riders who hold a full Category A motorcycle licence (or a Category A licence issued before 1st February 2001) can also ride it. A full car licence issued after February 2001 does NOT cover the SX-800.
-
Yes. The SX-800 is classified as an L1e motor vehicle and requires at least third-party motor insurance. It must also be DVLA registered with a number plate before use on public roads. Road tax is required but is currently free for electric vehicles.
-
WVTA is a UK and European certification confirming that the entire vehicle meets all regulatory standards for road use as a motor vehicle. It is the same certification standard applied to motorcycles and mopeds. The SX-800's WVTA means it is fully road-legal as a registered motor vehicle — not a grey area product.
-
The SX-800 delivers 40–50 miles per charge from its 48V 26Ah (1,248Wh) lithium-ion battery. Range varies with speed, riding mode, terrain, and rider weight. A full charge costs approximately 12p and takes around 7 hours.
-
Eco mode limits top speed for maximum range — ideal for long distances or stop-start urban riding. Comfort mode offers balanced power and range for everyday use. Sport mode unlocks full performance at 29mph with maximum acceleration. You can switch between modes while riding.
-
No. The Cycle to Work scheme only applies to EAPC-certified electric bicycles. The SX-800 is a licensed motor vehicle (L1e classification) and does not qualify. If you want a Cycle to Work eligible model, the SX-250 is EAPC-certified and fully eligible.
-
The SX-250 is EAPC-certified (250W, 15.5mph) — no licence, no insurance, no road tax, cycle lane access. The SX-800 is a full motorcycle (800W, 29mph) — requires CBT, insurance, and DVLA registration, but offers nearly double the speed. Both share the same battery, range, frame construction, and build quality.
-
Each SX-800 is built to order. Build time is approximately 7 working days, with delivery typically 2 weeks from the order date. Delivery includes a personal white-glove handover and demonstration at your door.
