Are there any Li-ION (lithium ion) standup electric scooters?

Question

I see that Razor makes an electric line, but they all use SLA (sealed lead acid) batteries.

Are there any manufacturers making li-ion? I don't want to blow my money on a battery i'll just have to toss in a year....

Answer 1

Not that I'm aware of, but you should keep in mind that lithium ion batteries are much more expensive than SLAs.  Lithium ion batteries last about 3 times longer, but also cost about 3 times more, so in the end it's a wash.

You're also assuming that you'll still be riding the same scooter 3 years from now.

Answer 2

No answer for ya, but interesting (maybe) site
