Very cool little unit! Really love it!
Would i choose it over my 40mph 60lb bike that does the same mileage though? nope, lol
As a scooter though, it's super cool.

I am excited to see another American company producing an off-the-shelf ev at a price point that the average Joe has a chance to afford. As much as I love building, experimenting, breaking, pushing, fixing and redesigning, etc., very few people around me have any interest in an ev that requires anything more than a plug-in and a tire pressure gage.

I am just as excited about Zero, Brammo, and a handfull of others; unfortunately, I have never seen any of these machines in person. I look forward to a day when they are a common sight, and I wish these pioneers all the best.

That is very cool looking.

I wonder what the lock to lock steering angle is. Might make slow speed -tight corner handling troublesome.

I like this part: "Aerodynamic Design. 3X lower drag coefficent than average"

I wonder if that is the bike without rider compared to a normal bike/vespa without rider, or if there were riders on them in the comparison. I have no doubt that the Boxx without rider could have Cd of one third of a normal vespa. What matters is CdA with riders on, though, or I should say, total friction with riders on. This thing might be used at such low speeds that rolling friction is the biggest part of total friction.
