I looked at the specs:
Quote:Sway Lithium - $7999
96v LiFePo4 Battery
8kw PMAC Hub Motor
300w Controller
Range: 40 Miles
Speed: 60mph
Recharge: 3.5 Hours
A 8KW motor, 10.7 hp, should do 60 mph. My 11.7 hp Vespa hits 64 mph actual at where I hit a rev limiter. Range is 40 miles, probably less if you are pushing it on the freeway. My Vespa goes 120 miles a tank. The Sway recharges in 3.5 hours. My Vespa recharges in 3.5 minutes.
I get about 70 mpg. At $4/gallon I have to ride about 50,000 miles to pay the $3000 premium for being "green". I ride about 7K miles a year. I have to own the Sway for 7 years to pay the difference for my Vespa.
That's my Vespa. You can get a Lance 150cc scooter for about $2,300 and you have to ride 100,000 miles to not pay to be "green". The break even point for for being "green" is 14 years.
It is a neat toy. But costs a few thousand bucks to be "green". I am not that green. It is also strictly a local scoot. I like to go places that are more than 20 miles away.
