Lift it out. Charge it anywhere.

The battery weighs nine kilos and has a handle. Carry it up to the flat, plug it into any socket, and it is full before the evening is over.

Under the seat, two clips

  1. Plugged in by the kettle

  2. Half full after dinner

  3. Full before bed

Built in Bristol from fewer parts.

A petrol moped has around two thousand parts. An Arco has two hundred and forty. No oil, no chain, no spark plugs: the motor sits sealed inside the rear wheel.

Frames are welded and painted at our Harbourside works, then every moped rides a test loop of the docks before it leaves.

Fewer parts means fewer things to wear out. A yearly service is mostly tyres, brakes, a software check and a cup of tea.

Three things you touch every day.

We spent the longest on the parts your eyes and hands meet on every ride.

  • Close-up of a white moped's headlamp and mirror on a city street

    The lamp

    A round LED lamp that sees sixty metres ahead and dips itself for oncoming traffic.

  • Close-up of a red wheel hub with a white-wall tyre under a red mudguard

    The wheel

    Twelve-inch wheels with the motor inside the hub: no chain, no belt, nothing to oil.

  • Black foam grips on a silver handlebar against a pale background

    The grips

    Heated grips with every control under your thumbs, so winter gloves stay on.

A week on one charge.

Five ordinary days in Bristol, ridden on the battery that came off the charger on Monday morning.

Which licence do I need?

A full car licence lets you ride any Arco. Without one, you need a CBT certificate from the age of sixteen; we can book the course for you.

How far does it really go in winter?

Cold batteries give up about a fifth of their range, so plan on sixty kilometres on a frosty week. Charging indoors keeps the cells warm and helps.

Can I charge it in a flat?

Yes. The battery lifts out and plugs into any ordinary socket with the charger from the box. A spare battery doubles your range if you have nowhere to park near a socket.

Is it all right in the rain?

The motor and battery are sealed, so a Bristol downpour is no trouble. Riding through deep standing water is the one thing we ask you to avoid.

What if it is stolen?

Every Arco has a tracker and an alarm in the app, and it will not start without your phone or key card nearby. Monthly riders get a replacement within a day.

Riders rate it 4.8 out of 5.

From more than twelve thousand reviews left in the app after a month of riding.

    I sold the car. The Uno does the school run, the shopping and the gym, and I charge it next to the toaster.

    The technician came to my office car park on a Tuesday lunchtime. I didn't even miss a meeting.

    Quiet enough that I hear the birds on the Downs. Quick enough that the vans don't bully me on Whiteladies Road.

    Range drops in January, as they warn you. A spare battery fixed that for my longer commute.

    Monthly was the right call for a student. Insurance, tyres and a swap to the Nero after my first year.

    People stop me at traffic lights to ask what it is. It's the first thing I've owned that gets compliments.
