Electric scooters?

[klingon]

For anyone who hasn't actually tried an electric scooter yet, I strongly suggest you visit Goetz or Mandy at Scooter e-motion. They are absolutely reputable dealers and the scooters they are bringing in are brilliant. Don't diss them till you've tried them!

I know there are other brands around that might be a bit dodgy, but these ones are really good. If you have any doubts about finding tyres, spare parts etc, talk to them about it. They have got all those issues sorted out and wouldn't risk their reputations on anything they can't support.

By the way, I have no connection with Scooter e-motion and they're not paying me to say any of this! I just think it's a shame that some of the cowboys who have imported other dodgy scooters seem to have spoiled the market for the genuine dealers.

you could always get an electric bicycle/kit from http://ecobikes.co.nz/ but I'm with everyone else on this, get a good quality fuel injected small scooter like the Suzy UZ125 or the Peugeot jetforce 125 http://www.scooterazzi.co.nz/detail/?id=8 which although not available in NZ also comes in a supercharged 2-stroke version

No matter how good the quality, $18,000 for a scooter is a crazy price.

A 400cc scooter can be bought for HALF that. Running costs for a couple of years wont be anywhere near the depreciation of the electric one.

That looks cool. Just wonder how long before you to replace bty, how much for the bty. Are they here in NZ?

There was an electric motorcycle featured on the Breakfast show a few weeks ago. It was undergoing type certification testing in Auckland, but they didn't give any details about the importer etc.

It certainly looked similar, but the breakfast show indicated a much more powerfull bike.
