Just for scooting around town I wouldn't think it would be a problem. Should get close to 90 mpg I would think.

Um. 15kW is like 20 horsepower dude.
Max speed on the buggy thing is 71km/hr ... that's under 45mph.
385,000 CZK = ~$16,000
I think they do better w/ sticking to motorcycles.,,

Vaguely less powerful than CeeGee, but you are also a few pounds lighter than me.
At 9.5bhp she should be good for 60-65mph.
My Honda 125 returns just over 25miles to the litre.

My son had the previous model to that one and rode to school and back, all of his soccer matches, to girlfriends. Couldn't get him off it. Never had problems, very reliable. Managed 100kph and put about 20 000kms on in 18 months. My opinion, good value for money.
