Thanks morph!! All good things to consider, I appreciate it!

I will likely keep my scooter for a long time. It's very difficult where I live and living my "lifestyle" to go completely car less, nor completely scooter less or "gas less". I'm just trying with every trip made to improve on my carbon footprint. Some trips I already know I won't be able to make with E-bike - and I have much to learn about the laws around here. Found a great website: EcoWheelz that links to state laws regarding E-bikes. I have much studying to do!!

Thanks again!
