have an ebike but want to upgrade to an electric scooter

Hey guys, this is my first post on endless-sphere... my question is, What is the best electric scooter (pedal-assisted or not) for under $2,500?

The electric scooters are not selling that well these days. I heard Vectrix has gone under. I have heard that the pedals on some of the scooters have short crank arms and don't work very well. I think you get a lot more range and performance from a good electric bicycle.
We have a subforum on this site for "electric scooter and motorcycle general discussion". You will probably get more responses by posting your question there.

My thought is you're trying to get something faster and more comfortable than a bicycle. A scooter is probably a good thought. A lot of these will come from "Unproven" Chinese companies.

In California if it's under 2,000w/under 30mph you can get moped one time only registration and no insurance. Don't know the story in Florida.

i'd also be interested in FL laws.
saw a dead old one on CL for $25 has pedals! :lol:
BUT i would lose my VIP parking
