Projected proceeds over the vehicle's life
Modelled over an expected economic life of 60 months, by repeating one month's arithmetic — a simulation of these assumptions holding, not a forecast. Payback is a milestone inside that life, not the end of it.
| Year | Proceeds | Cumulative |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | $2,276.16 | $2,276.16 |
| Year 2 | $2,276.16 | $4,552.32 |
| Year 3Refurbishment review | $2,276.16 | $6,828.48 |
| Year 4 | $2,276.16 | $9,104.64 |
| Year 5 | $2,276.16 | $11,380.80 |
- Capital recovered byThe month whose distribution first brings the total paid out up to what you put in. Distributions are monthly, so a part-month still costs a full one.
- Month 7
- Total paid out over the projected lifeEvery distribution across the 60 months, before your capital is netted off.
- $11,380.80
- Over and above your capitalThe total paid out, less what you put in.
- $10,180.80
- Paid out after the payback monthOnly the months that fall after the payback month. It leaves out that month's whole distribution, while the figure above takes off only your capital — so the gap between them is however much that distribution overshot what was still owed.
- $10,053.04
The years repeat one month's arithmetic, so this is a simulation of these assumptions holding unchanged for the whole period — not a forecast. Utilisation, pricing and costs will move.
The vehicle may continue operating beyond the projected economic life while it remains safe and economically serviceable. Actual service life and proceeds may vary.
Assumptions used
Calibrated from published city figures — Tel Aviv's fleet averaged 3.54 rides per scooter per day over a 10.91-minute trip in 2024 — and from MASHI's own planning for Damascus. The rides per vehicle in these cases are planning figures, not measurements: MASHI has no operating data yet, and will replace these with its own once it has.
