A practical electric scooter?

Is it just me or is this scooter really awesome? It should come in at around $8000 but if the running costs are really as low as expected, it should be worth it. Electricity does work out to be much cheaper than gasoline right now but if everyone started using electricity for their autos, I'm sure prices will see a surge. I mean, its not like electricity is harnessed from lightning strikes or something..
