I completely lost interest when I found out heir business model revolves around battery stations only. No provisions for self charging at home where you could perhaps keep a spare ready for a quick swap in the garage. It's concept is geared entirely for dense city settings.

Now you mention dense that could open up a massive market in the USA.

I have mixed feelings on this scoot. I like the mechanical design but the styling not so much. I also have a feeling this is a hipster product that will be way overpriced.

Is this the motor? where's the battery because this will be the biggest, heaviest, pricey and most cumbersome element of an electric anything.

I think this is great for commuting and getting groceries, alongside a gas motorcycle for longer distance road trips.

Face it, most of us rides scooters. I don't think any of us are worried about the perception of our masculinity.
