Right, here is one for the panel upload_2019-11-16_21-31-53.gif
Thinking of getting an electric scooter for the back of the van that is roughly equivalent to a 125.. It will replace our existing 125 Sym Crox
Got to be able to do 60mph
Prefer something that the battery can be removed from
Capable of 2 up work

Something around the £3k mark

Considering how big the push for electric one are I am finding it quite hard to find a much that is not piss poor on spec but priced like a Hardly Moving
 

Pow-Lo

If the cost of electric cars are anything to go by, I’d stick with what you have if I were you.

Duffy motorsport may sell this, seeing as it came 7th (last) at the TT Zero this year.
Good for an average 72.03 mph on a 37.773 mile lap...Not sure about two up though?

Any particular reason why you are thinking of electric ? I really don't see any advantage over what you have at the moment to be perfectly honest :confused:

The scoot never goes on anything further than 12 miles anyway and what I have will be three years old next year and I canna be bothered with MOTing it so it will be replaced any way

And the relevance of that is ?
I ask as it does not seem to meet any of the required criteria !


It's electric.

Sort of.

Have you even for one second considered your criteria are wrong??

:rolleyes:

Oh yes.. for more than a second in fact !
But having been on a trade day and tried a few, one would certainly fill my needs.. and they are surprisingly light too
I have a max carrying capacity of 120kg on the bike rack, and the Crox comes in at 109 wet
