NIU NQi GTS - Red Lightning

While electric, it has the torque of a 125cc engine. But since it is electric (and capped at 70km/h) it is the legal equivalent of a 50cc scooter. I have the extended range batteies, giving me realistically 85km of range, plus another 20km in Eco mode (very slow) to prevent battery damage.

Perfect for city-commuting. Not meant for long distance travels. And unaffected by gas prices. A full change costs me, what... $0.75?
