Electric cars carry with them large volumes of nasty chemicals, lead and acids and require more energy to run than directly fossil fueled engines. Power generation losses, power tranmission losses, power conversion losses, power storage losses (in the car's battery) on top of the fact that electric cars are still powered by fossil fuel (what makes electricity?). Cut out the middle men and just burn the fuel right there in a combustion engine. It works better.
This is a SCOOTER. For all of it's technical advancment it is actually worse in almost every aspect from the traditional wheels in a line scooter. It's also bested in almost every respect by another advanced technology, the bicycle.
