And for the same money you could buy either a new middleweight sportbike that'll do 130+, or you could buy a few years old literbike that will easily triple the speed of this scooter.

Or, you could pay 1/5 of this price to get an e-scooter (of the stand-up variety) and get the same performance with a lower weight and smaller size.
