Cheap no good; Good no cheap. Look at this no cheap but good scooter: www.spicy-motors.com/

Thanks Dashan,

Do you know how much those scooters cost?

The M2 (1000 watts at 45kmph) is 5500 kuai. As for the M1, I don't know but suspect ~4000 kuai.

They will be back on 10/13, so I suggest you call directly.

Dashan

Work colegue just bought the M2 and is reasonably happy with it.

I've rode it and it does pull very well, even 2 up.

He bought the 1500w upgraded version and paid RMB. 5500

They don't deliver from Shanghai so the delivery van and 2 guys was extra and so was the bubble wrap packing to protect it during the van ride from Shanghai.

The build quailty is not bad for China, the bracket holding the "upgrade convertor" which looks like a big voltage regulator (1.5kg's ish) broke on the first day and that is now held on with tie wraps!

Gets some very interested looks from the traffic cops.........they all want to have a look!

Karma,

Well, I picked my M2 1500w eBike from Spicy Motors in Shanghai. Put a down payment two weeks ago then picked it up today and back to Shanghai. My friend knew a friend who knew a friend with a small mini-van - no problem to put it in when the seats were pulled up. Paid 500 kuai for the service - maybe high but I'm laowai.

Got it up to 50 kph but too cold so backed off. Suppose to get up to 60 kph. Of course, you are only taking away battery power. Nice cruise at 30 kph. Not like my old Harley back in US, but a nice way to get around SIP.

I'll let people know how it works out.
