I gotta say, this thing looks really cool. Would be awesome in an urban environment.

The tech behind it is cool. The scooter, not so much. Scooters just look very uncomfortable to ride in my opinion.

Would work well in sa if someone would import the things.

Too much "smart" for a scooter lol

I've been seeing many EWIZZ scooters around Cape Town lately.
They seem pretty decent for people wanting to go the full electric route.

"For fuel the Lightning 9 EX only costs around R12 to fill from flat (@R1.42 a kwh). So, doing around 150 km a day, or 33,000 km per year, each month it’s going to cost around R165 in electricity to do 2750 km. If you recharge at public points or at work then it’s free!"

^^ That is quite appealing

It would be even more appealing if there were in fact any public points to charge it.

I should have cut that part out. the low cost to charge is what appealed to me.
I see one charging outside the building I work in everyday.

Charging at work would work. And probably be "free"
