Kaishan 500W Sport Electric Scooter

The weather has been distinctly unpleasant lately so here's a photo of something I'm enjoying whenever it stops raining, my new e-bike. It looks like a scooter but it's actually classed as a bicycle since it is limited to 32 km per hour top speed. It has pedals that can be attached but are not necessary. Those of you who visit here regularly may remember that I have been riding an e-bike for about a year now. The original e-bike served me well but its range of 30 to 40 km on a single charge was too small. The range of the above bike is 80 to 100 km which will carry me to most of the places I want to go these days. It's very comfortable to ride and the 500 watt motor carries me up hills very easily. Because it's classed as a bicycle it does not require licensing or insurance. And, because it is battery operated, it does not require any fuel nor does it produce any emissions or noise. I charge it up at night and ride it around all day.
