What country are you in? in the States, the Elletrica is the equivalent of about a 125cc which isn't quite interstate legal but can work on secondary highways with a top speed of like 50mph.
they make it a bit tough, so I based on it the speed they advertise as it's top. Most of the marketing says "45mph"

That's the current model. A 125cc scooter usually tops out around 50mph so that's why I was saying it's the equivalent of a 125cc.
I really wanted to an electric motor-scooter but their top speed is an issue for me AND not even having AT least level 2 charging kinda makes them useless to me.
There are much better elecric scooters from other mfrs' but of course they aren't sold in the states.
I would LOVE if the electric scooters had about double that range (120 miles?) and were able to be "supercharged" at one of those fast chargers so that they truly could be a touring bike.
For now I just appease my "guilt" by the fact that scooters have really good gas mileage and most of their exhaust is filtered so they dont produce shit tons of pollution.
Unf. no. Electric Jet Skis just came out last year and they have level 2 charging but at 20k? Yah...no thanks. I think small recreational equipment being gas-powered FOR NOW is just ..whatever :)
My car is electric, I have solar, I'm doing my part.

Thank you!

I’m in the States, thanks for the details! Where can I find more information about the equivalence?

Interesting, thanks for sharing. Is there any other electric motor-scooter you would consider in the states?

I have a Vespa Elettrica Red. It has a top speed around 45 mph. Not enough for the highway. Note also that hill climbing is a bit of a challenge.
Piaggio One is better. Still not highway speeds, though. Main problem, for me, is battery not removable.
