Way cool that it broke the 200 km barrier - that's pretty significant I think...

The design, however...

Do they make an ugly version?
Still, glad to see innovation in this field.

The 8.3 kWh version will set you back EUREUR23,000 (US$31,860) and the Big Daddy 12.7 kWh version is EUREUR25,000 (US$34,630).




So... Leno is the targeted market segment.

At that price, he might pop for 2.

Innovation always comes with a price. The more innovations that keep coming the sooner we'll see it trickle down. (if you buy that line ) The most interesting part, for me, is the battery build and the advances in tech.

Who'd buy a scooter for $7000? Laughing emoticon

Description is definitely apt...!

I does have a couple of nice curves on the back part of it, but that front is a whole other monster...

I can't imagine what Kesey would have seen. Maybe that's why I like it. One hell of "terrified snail".

Not now, not ever.

It might go further on a charge if they got smart and made the rear the front. There are better ways of cooling;

Pretty pricy, and you can't even ride two up.

Also, how does the steering work?

I think that if you turn the bars left it actually goes in that direction.

I'll get back to you if it works the same on the opposite side.

I would ride the sh*t out of that.

I rode a Zero and it was awesome.

Having a Zero would be my dream ride.
