at least it holds 330lbs. most of us should be o.k. with that.  would be a great commuter if lived in town under 10 miles away is all to drive to/from work, etc.   and reliable charging platform while at work to use during the day to get you home as well.  Id hate to get run over though doing 15 mph in 25 mph speed zone.

The problem I have is over say 200lbs. those 300 watt and lower electric scooters (my kids have one no longer using that I have tried as well) state up to say 5 miles on a fully charged battery but with my weight over 250lbs. I am lucky to get 1 mile out of the battery before going dead.   The claim to 15 miles is am sure under 'ideal' load weight and non-hilly level road conditions am sure, more like 10 miles tops in real world driving.

seriously,  anyone ever on here going to consider pre-production runs of the Elio motors car for 7K on 3 wheels?  sounds like the best deal out there right now in terms of commuter car and cheapness and best mpg.
