This electric scooter doesn't look bad and the price seems fair for what you get. Top speed of 75 mph, 124 mile range at 32 mph, which sounds about right for a 72V-96aH battery. https://cscmotorcycles.com/e-rt3-electric-scooter-pre-order/

But for that price, just... why?

I don't see much of an issue with the price. That's nearly $5k cheaper than a 7.2kW/h Zero with a comparable battery size. It has a decent amount of power and a usable top speed, has modern technology features like a TFT dash, tyre pressure monitoring, backlight controls, keyless, proper dual channel ABS instead of the linked brakes of lower end bikes, LED lights, USB charging as standard, and probably has a good amount of storage space.

Yep, it's a pretty decent spec really.

I've just noticed that the description says it comes with a 3.3kW charger too which is rather good. Going by the charging times in the specs I was assuming it had about 1kW built in and came with like a 2kW external fast charger (they say 3-4 hours but it should be closer to 2). If the fast charger can fit in the storage compartment and both can be used at the same time then that's even better. It's probably quite unlikely but if they could bring that over to the UK/Europe for around £6k/€7k that it converts to I think it could sell really well, especially fitting into the A1 licence catergory.
