My Kymco 500 gets roughly the same mileage on a fill up. Which considering I'm using it basically for my day to day commute would be a fine addition to the garage.
However, and I have this same concern about lower cc bikes, is "Would it be safe on the roads I have to drive?"
In my case the cars around me reach 70 MPH (113 KPH) on ave. Until a electric scooter is able to consistently maintain that speed I'm not that interested.
