    Wish i still had my Suzuki AP50 that i used to get to Blackburn art collage in 1885. i could get 65mph out of it if i put my chin on the tank down hill. But one day as i was screeming along the bypass at a good 55mph some older Mods all past me on scooters and squirted me with water pistols! My days of feeling like Barry Shean were cut short from that day onwards.😢

    I am an ancient motard, and have just recently purchased an electric scooter. It's an Easy-Watt retro (I love retro Vespa scooters.). I agree completely about how “nervous” it feels off the line. But with practice, I have gotten used to it. The silence is both good and bad. I love the ability to talk, but it is almost dangerous for pedestrians, animals, etc. I suspect in the near future there will be some sort of noise-maker to warn of your arrival. In any case, enjoy!

    Hi lads from Spain. Do you remember when we used to put a folded bus ticket (or similar) between the front brake and the forks on our bikes to make a clickety noise? Could you do something similar on the e-scooter? BTW a SYM E FIDDLE can have a security blanket, a.k.a. box on the back for Tim. BTW one can get one like a Noddy Bike for less than 1800€

    You should definitely get an e-scooter each, so you can ride out together, side by side. However, so you don't get separated in traffic, I wonder if there's a way of fastening them together into some sort of four-wheeled contraption. 🤔 You'd also want to go out in the rain sometimes, so perhaps a roof over them both? 🤔🤔 It'd almost be like a friendly little electric car.

You said the petrol on is about 400 Euros cheaper, however the cost of any vehicle is not just the price you buy it for, the fuel also costs money. I can't imagine a 50cc moped would use much fuel, but when you add all the fuel across the entire life time of the moped, it'll add up a bit, maybe more than 400 Euro's?

    Got my girfriend a Silence S02, we got an AMI for fun and I drive a Tesla for long journeys however I must admit that the AMI in town, so 95% of the time, is a LOT more fun. But now, summer is coming, the Fiddle3 (SYM) 125cc is getting on so we changed to the Silence S 02, that one does need a license though but there is a 50cc Version I think. Solid bike, going 100kph for a range way over 100km. In town an easy 160km. I did not know that SYM does an electric version, my girlfriend might have liked that as she is used to the fiddle. Thing I did not like at all with it where the non hydraulic brakes, very very bad if compared to the Silence brakes, you stand on the dot. To get over the range anxiety, not existent with the Silence, but on your fiddle you can put in a second battery, doubling your range. Put a BIG case on the back.

    It's probably too late, but with the regular motorcycle e-bikes you can get cargo bags to hold all your gear and wash, and you have a better ride with bigger tires to boot. Watch Itchy Boots on KZread to see what she carries on her continental journeys. You should have test drove a regular e-cycle.

    Sorry, I can't agree with that statement. While they can hear you if you are filtering down the line with cars stopped at the light (and even this is debatable), cars are very effective at insulating drivers from their environment, and that is without counting on people running their music, chatting with passengers and wind/road noise. As a motorcycle rider, I definitely do not expect people to hear me. I usually outrun the sound of my bike anyway. Heck, even ambulance and fire truck sirens can only be heard at the last second sometimes. So all in all, I think an electric scooter is not necessarily more unsafe because it is quiet. I'd suggest it actually is safer, because you are more aware of your environment while riding it, and might catch onto a car/pedestrian/bicycle close by, which you would have otherwise missed. Anyway, congrats mr Boo, I'm sure you're going to love it. I ride my ebike in town 90% of the time and have a blast!

    As it has a removable battery you can just buy a new one it case it goes south. However, these are not your typical cellphone batteries and last a lot longer. Just make sure the batter is around 80% charged when you store it for a longer time period.

    I say NO, dont buy it. I have been using an electric scooter (250W) since June 2018 (nowt it is April 2023). Of course, it is only a city bike. You have to make plans in charging it. It is not cheap to maintain it, because batteries do not last more than 3 or 4 years. So, I have calculated what I have spent for electricity + the cost of a new battery. The result was that it costs almost 9 euros/100kms. This is too much. Electric scooters are good for towns where there are no uphills. It consumes (just like a petroleum one) much more energy uphills, but with a much slower speed than a petroleum one. I use mine only for very short distances (around 10kms/week) and it is ok for me, but still... I say NO.
