75 kg rider weight limit? I feel personally attacked.

I feel like 80% of men weigh above that lol

Especially ironic to install a backseat for a second person on a scooter with such a low weight limit.

Damn and here I was proud of my weight loss. 40 more pounds to go I guess 😂

(For us Freedom Unit folks, 75kg = 165lb)

A big advantage of its sodium cells is also the fact that they can retain more than 92% of their capacity even when operating at -20°C (-4 Fahrenheit) and discharging at those freezing temps.

That is very promising to hear. My current vehicle, which uses first-generation lithium batteries (made on 2011), loses almost half of its range at that temperature, and that is before heating.

its speed is limited to the 25 km/h

Pass.

Also, tried their website to find a dealer and it was straight cancerous.

Loving the battery tech though. Hoping something affordable like this makes it to my area.

So many compromises, but it's only like $500.

Excited to see more capable implementations of the tech.

Reminder to never be an early adopter of a new technology unless you are willing to pay the early adopter fee when its outdated next year (or month).
