If I ride an electric scoot like I do my 50's, I'd want to move away from the sprung weight of a hub motor. I just fitted a performance rear shock on my 60mph scooter. Our city roads are kinda bumpy though.

Lifted the needle jet and modded the pod filter today. More powerful now. Ordered a short wide intake manifold with a bigger reed cage too.

Scootering is my go fast fun, especially dragging off at the lights. If I saw a good electric road bike I'd jump at it, even $5k upwards for a good machine. Where are they?
