My neighbor has one of these and it is pretty awesome. I asked about it when it went by me on one of my walks and I realized it had to be electric given its lack of engine noise. He really likes it and uses it to commute around the Bay Area.
I'm seriously considering getting one. I used to have a Honda Scooter which had a top end of about 50 which was okay for streets and stuff but if you wanted to use an expressway briefly you were definitely at a disadvantage.
- dhosek 5y agoThe phrase "removable batteries" worries me a little. I would hope that they're reasonably secured so that I don't need to be worried if I have it chained up outside while I'm at work. Something like this does seem kind of appealing.
- torgian 5y agoWhy does it worry you? Cars have removable batteries.
- kube-system 5y agoICE starting batteries are a tiny fraction of the price of this battery, and even those are stored under hoods that are locked from the inside of the vehicle.
- torgian 5y agoOh ok I think I understand what the problem is now. Sorry, I was genuinely confused for a second there, not sure why. Maybe I’m just getting old lol
- dhosek 5y agoAn automobile battery is around $100-200 and not easily accessed. This battery is around $1000 and there's little detail on how it's secured. That would be a serious consideration for me if I were to consider buying one of these.
- torgian 5y agoNot easily accessed? Really? Pop the hood, see battery. Remove cables and plastic holder thingy. Toss it, but new one, install in reverse order.
