It costs about a penny a mile to ride this scooter as it is electric, recharging right from the outlet. The drawback is that the bike itself costs around eight grand.
Owning one of these is an appealing idea for me. There also may very well be tax credits for purchasing one.
Keep it on the back burner.
Autoracing Daily: Vectrix VX-1 Scooter - 60 Miles at 60 MPH on a Single Charge
It’s also electric, with a 180-pound battery that lets the rider forget about pumping gas. The Vectrix just needs an electrical outlet to get its fuel.Vectrix
The scooter can go about 50 to 60 miles when fully charged and it can reach speeds up to about 60 mph. It’s billed as the only electric scooter on the market that’s highway legal.

Electric autos aren't 100% green, unless the source of the electricity is green ( windmill, solar cells, nukes etc.)
This is true, I think its matter of degree though. We need improved energy usage, so if you can go more miles on the same quantity of energy, its an improvement. Its not 100% green, but we need these intermediate steps until we can do a lot better.
I agree. We need to start to change.
