Lots of electric bycicles here with electric motors of 250 - 350 watt here, range on flat land 60 - 80 KM average speed 25 KM and getting better all the time.
Not seen a lot of mopeds or scooters electric though, the kids here use mini cars with 500 or 600 cc 3 cylinder diesel engines max speed 50 km/h but removing a few washers they will go to 100 km/h.....
30 km to the litre diesel though...;) no road tax just insurance.

I own an old gas moped a Peugeot (1970's). Last I checked it still runs but it is buried under debris in my dad's garage to the point where I can't even see the bike much less get near it. The gasoline in it has probably turned to varnish and the tank will have to be dumped and flushed before it will ever run again. In any event it was always a great bike on relatively flat streets and mild inclines but on steep hills it was a lousy climber. On more than one occasion while climbing a steep hill I had to pedal it to help take some of the load off the motor. I think the more modern mopeds are more powerful and hopefully better hill climbers. I am also wondering how are the electric mopeds with hills. Just something to consider if you live in an area with rough terrain.
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
