So, in short, I want to find a street legal, vespa style scooter that is electric only. I have found a few that are around $1000 but none seem to be able to go over 30mph which, in my state at least, classifies them as bicycles I believe so, at most, I would be able to take them on 35mph roads and that's about it. That would be fine if I didn't live on a road that was a 55mph limit, literally, I live right off it. The thought of riding at 30mph in a 55 zone scares the living crap out of me so I was looking at other things and I found one that claims it can do 62mph, which is kind of along the lines of what I want, even 45mph would be fine really. The only hitch is that the extra 32mph will cost me nearly $5000 extra.

Does anyone know of an electric scooter that is street legal and can manage a speed of at least 45mph for around $1000? If you do, please let me know I would love to get one this summer since I'll have a good bit of extra cash lying around to do some gas saver work like this.
