Top speed of 30mph limits the usefulness of this for me. I could motor around in my borough just fine, but if I wanted to get to my nearest major city (10-15 miles away), I don't know if I can do it without going on a road that has a speed limit of at least 35, and that road has a lot of 18-wheelers with whom I would not want to share the road.
None of that stuff is an absolute dealbreaker, but if I have a bicycle to schlep around the borough and a car to get into the city, getting something in the middle is a tough value prop.
- MBCook 10y agoIgnoring range issues (wouldn't be an issue for some of the shops near me I frequent) many of the bigger roads around me have 45mph standard speeds. I don't want to try driving 30 on them on something the size of a scooter.
