Ordered an electric 'motorcycle', err... scooter

If they have a sister company that does solar stuff then I'm guessing here that they are using batteries in the scooter that they also use for storing power in their solar systems. It also looks to me that they are trying to glorify what is basically SLA batteries. Like I said, almost 400 pounds is extremely heavy for this scooter so it must have a lot of heavy batteries hidden in there. I'm just guessing here. I run a very similar scooter and after I took the SLAs out of it, it weighed 180 pounds. I put a 25 pound lithium battery in it and ran like that for a while at 205 pounds (was 300 pounds with the SLAs). It is unbelievable the difference it makes on how the scooter handles when you take so much weight out of it. It accelerates faster, transitions faster and brakes faster. It's like a totally different machine.
