I gotta get some of those T-Shirts
I went to the E-Ride dealer in my town and tried a couple different models of electric scooters. I was curious to find out how they perform. I was set on an E-Bike but now I'm seriously considering a scooter instead. They have a max speed of 45 kph which is more than the RTR E-Bikes that cost almost the same. These scooters are just under $2200. They even have a cup holder
Even if you got a cheap Chinese kit off ebay to build your own E-Bike, it would end up coming close to the price of that scooter if you factor in the battery you have to build, all the supplies needed and a good bike with disk brakes and full suspension. Plus the time you spend tinkering on the thing is valuable too. And you're on your own when it comes to do the maintenance and repairs and you don't get a warranty. To me this is also valuable.
This E-Ride dealer also sells electric motorcycles that have the equivalent power of a 100cc gas motorcycle and have a max speed of 70 kph. But you need a motorcycle license and insurance to ride them. Now if there was a way in the future to get my hands on the power system of an electric motorcycle and secretly put it in the scooter
