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.

1 mile is nothing in a Chinese city. Were these made-for-export
toys/crap?

They would probably sell for around US $800-$1000 apiece if imported.
