Anyone run an electric scooter. Suggestions.

Hi. With restricted garage payload (150kg) I am considering an electric scooter such as the Piaggio 1 Active. Idea was to remove the battery and take that weight forward. We are at 3650kg overall.

That sounds like a cunning plan as that is a drop in pull out battery, moving it closer to front end of the garage will help as well.

I am sure you have done your own workings out for your use of your vehicle, but a realistic range of 30 miles and a realistic top speed of probably 35 MPH for a bike that actually looks really nice but again realistically cannot carry a pillion for lack of footpegs and puts it into a moped category if you were to try.
Single person commuter is where I would put the bike, but that might be what youre using it for in the main.
Other 100 110 or 125s are only 15 kgs heavier, which doesnt help with your weight issue but will allow so much more, if you pulled other stuff forwards

Best of luck

I looked at electric scoots as well but too underpowered for my liking and safety. My sym fiddle 125 I traded upfor a Lambretta v200 for this reason.
