I am in the same boat .. I searched long and hard for an electric scooter or a skateboard that I could use in my regular commute (Vienna, Austria) and after trying everything I could get my feet on, I settled on an electric moped (UNU), which is just about the best possible transportation system I've experienced - apart from feeling underpowered compared to combustion engines. I get amazing transportation for pennies (its very cheap to recharge the batteries), its fast enough once you get into the city, and it'll survive a bit of rain here and there. Alas, until the skateboard/scooters catch up with the nearly-all-weather requirement, I don't see mopeds being replaced in this market any time soon.
