I guess it is an urban-only sort of toy. My commute is 90 km round trip and my speed exceeds 100 km/h on occasion. I would be right on the ragged edge of its usefulness, and as the battery degraded, I'd be concerned about getting home. Since it takes two hours to charge, if I had the ability to charge at work, it would become useful to me.
I have a 130 km trip to a picnic on Sunday. This scooter would be useless.
Also, if you live in an area where coal or gas is burnt for electricity, electric vehicles are nearly as polluting as gasoline powered ones.
One good thing is that it seems to have regenerative braking. That means that when you use engine braking, you are recharging the battery.
It is going to come down to price.
