I just bought an electric scooter that goes very quick and holds up to 90 kgs. I bought it in Thailand but it is a swedish brand associated with THULE I believe. You should see the faces on people when I ride this thing, they eaither smile or laugh! Which is kind of great, something different for sure that nobody has really seen before!

I want to buy that for my kid. what a nice impression he get on co-students when he go to school for the first time. lol
That's what makes it so good that it is small! The whole idea was to buy something small and which actaually turns heads more than a big bike believe it or not! Remember this is no bike for kids folks, This is quick even from take off! As soon as you move your hand back it really takes off, im not kidding! It also has disc brakes! Yeah I want to get now a matching red helmet with white stripe down the middle, that would really top it off! Charge lasts for 5 hours, there is enough room when you pull up the seat to put the charger inside! It's a vey new thing, I havn't seen anything else like it and I have searched and searched , and as robust as this, believe me! If you want to see the bikes you can go to my blog link, and the website address is in there; http://www.danlew.com/ecoride/2008/06/15/ The bike was 22,500 baht (around $670 US)
