The little electric bike looks interesting.

The Kymco F9 does remind me of the Italjet Dragster, though I like the "simpler" look of the Kymco better. Technically, I find it interesting they opted for a two speed auto transmission and the battery can't be swapped as it can with the ionex system.
For a city-centric machine, seems to me the performance is impressive too: 9.4 Kw is almost three times the output of their Like EV.

I don't have much data available to watch much video, so didn't watch each to the end. However, being the resident cynic, I must comment whatever innovation from Taiwan is really of little consequence here in the US since the importer is currently incapable of conducting much, if any, real business.

Unless your fluent in Mandarin all you could do is look at the pictures anyway.  Even my local Kymco dealer commented on the lack of technical support. His comment was they got the difficult part done quality wise but need to work on supporting their product.

The KRV is a nice-looking scoot. Wish they offered in the U.S.

The F9 does look like a battery scooter I could maybe live with too. Overall, some interesting stuff here.
