      At this pricing point, it's a fantastic scooter. It is highly beneficial to our environment, and the price of gasoline is rising every month.

      Comfort and battery charging wise is A1. Sitting position on long drive is slightly discomfort on lower back. Shock up slightly on harder side. Otherwise all OK. Battery weight is comfortable to lift.
