Sadly I think you need a 45 mph top speed to be "safe" on 25 mph roads around here. Nice-looking bike. Really would work well on college campuses, for school kids needing a way to get around, and yeah, for some commuters.
-
Without the maintenance of a gasoline powered Honda Cub, this looks like a great scooter for an urban area where the speed limit is never above 30, the commute is short, and the terrain is relatively flat. Unfortunately that greatly limits its sales potential and definitely eliminates me as a customer. If they made a model that is closer to the capability of a gasoline powered Honda Cub, even it was the same price as the Cub, I think it would sell well.

Love the 1960 retro.
-
Almost 1600 miles on mine. Love it. I do wish it could go a little faster, but it is a great around town scooter.
-
OMG I love this thing! Nice review
-
Totally fun and great looking ‼️ Thank you 👍
-
I really like the look. The range and speed just isn't enough for me yet. I really want to replace my gas scooter but it was half the price, can go almost double the speed and I get about 80 miles on a tank of gas.
-
Man, this does look like a lot of fun, and I love the Super Cub design. But I really have no way to make the low speed work for me. Hopefully Honda gets their EV Cub to market already
-
I'm watching these videos on scooters and never see you guys demonstrating steep hills. I've got some tough hills where I live and need to know if these things will actually get up them.
-
I want this to come to the UK! Be perfect for my London commute.
-
Micah...you do the best job of reviewing bike videos. Seriously.
-
after looking at CSC's website their WIZ electric scooter for $2495 plus $400 in fees has a 42mph top speed, tail bag, front disc brake, regenerative braking. might be a better deal if you do not need the cub look.
-
Great review thank you
-
Thank you! I just found my ride
-
I think something like that with a top speed around 50-60MPH and about 100 miles range that costs about the same as the Honda gas powered one would be very slick.
-
Thanks!
-
1 dollar per watt is my new "great deal" measure for ebikes . This CSC Monterey Meets it with Style ! 💪🏾⚡
-
nice review Micah, loved the colour and retro look...seems reasonably priced :) cheers from Victoria BC :)
-
Thanks, Micah!
-
Thanks for the review Micah - I love that bike. (and you nailed the perfect color.) It has to be faster, there are simply places you cannot get to reasonably in my town without a 55-60 top speed.
