I'm in Asia, and everyone drives scooters here. I have an electric one.
It was a little over $1,000. The battery lasted two years and I just replaced it for about $400, and my landlord pays my electricity. I charge from a wall outlet.
It's slower than a normal scooter which is a downside. The upside and why I got it is because you don't need a license for these and I needed something to drive in a hurry a while back. It's very range-limited because I need to get to an outlet to charge, which takes hours.
Not very expensive though!
I will be buying gas next time. I do like how quiet and light it is, but I want to be able to fill up as needed rather than always calculating where I can go based on when I charged my battery last.
There's another electric brand here that has battery swap stations all over the place. You just drive up, put your old battery in a slot and a charged one pops out of another, and you go. I think that's a decent way to go too, especially since the battery is the biggest liability of the thing. Not owning the battery is not exactly a bad thing.
Until they decide to take back their batteries, leaving you with a large paperweight. :o)
Very true. It depends on a service
