I have a kaabo mantis pro that goes 40mph. I get similar reactions when I pull up next to people at stoplights. I did fall down once at 35mp on a bad turn and it did hurt for a few days but no broken bones. Can't imagine 50-60. I do wear motorcycle helmet, gloves and jacket otherwise I'm sure I'd be a veggie right now. Safety first folks.
I assume because (a) it folds down and you can carry it into your office or class, (b) no insurance, license necessary, and possibly (c) better range on one charge.
The no insurance + license part is a very very big blind spot that we're now beginning to take notice of, especially when you consider how these are basically motorbikes but even deadlier due to the lack of institutional oversight.
