Why aren't electric mopeds more popular?

I don't think 50ccs are even that quick. Not unless it's been messed with

Anybody remember "Fantic"

I looked on youtube and found this lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6Y2L187clY

What chaos. Everyone was doing everything wrong.

If everyone is doing everything wrong does that mean they’re doing it right?

Anyone old enough to remember "FS1E"

They exist, but I think battery life is naff because there's no real place to store big heavy batteries on a moped

"Up to" 80km range is pretty naff, but fine for cities I guess.

Do you really want to do more than 80km in one day on a moped??

Additionally, if you did want to, you could charge the thing relatively quickly compared to an electric car. On a 50kW charger it would be done in about 10 minutes (unsure if 50kW works on these things mind you)

Cars can get away with high power chargers as they have lots and lots of parallel cells to charge at once. 50kW into something the size of a large thermos would be... Exciting

Seems good to me , costs about 1p a mile in electric.

Loads of them in Paris last week. Didn't see any on charge though, and they were all branded with the same company logos.
