Been to China recently? Most of the scooters are *electric*.

Have you tried riding one of the electric scooters?

While they might be acceptable for the under-120# crowd, their range is
extremely limited with a 250# rider.

About 1 mile, in fact, before the batteries need a recharge and that only
on new batteries.

BTDT - gave away a pair of them.
