Smart getting Smart about EV Scooters

The EV game might have changed, the moment a big name brand gets involved with national distribution it could really push EV units in America.

Interesting quote from the article "The electric-powered bike, a partnership with MIFA Mitteldeutsche Fahrradwerke AG (FW1), features a 250-watt electric motor attached to the rear wheel, a lithium-ion battery pack and a carbon-fiber belt instead of a chain for pedal power. Daimler says it’s pleased with sales of the bike, though declines to give figures."

What does that mean? really in Europe I can look up registrations, but its a process for each country and is it really worth it? 

Would be interesting if they show up at the AIME Expo this year.
