When does buying a gas scooter (3200 GEL) pay off?
vs. gas scooter rental–
vs. electric scooter rental–
Extra savings: after about a year of active courier use, you can typically sell the gas scooter for around 1600 GEL — that further lowers the real cost of ownership, and isn’t included in the payback figures above.
Estimates only, based on average figures: fuel consumption 3 L/100km, fuel price ≈3.05 GEL/L (last updated: September 2026 — prices change over time), maintenance and repairs for a gas scooter 8 GEL/100km (applies only when you own the scooter — a rental company covers this), battery swap 3.5 GEL per 75 km, home charging overnight 0.20 GEL. Actual rental terms may vary.
