Milan: 2012 Hyosung EVA electric scooter

Bet you never thought you'd see a Korean battery-powered scooter. We didn't.

IT might not be a show-stopper but this is Hyosung's first step into the electric world and could signal their intentions to produce electric motorcycles.

The EVA Electric scooter produces 1.49kW and is capable of 40mph. It has a range of 55 miles but that's at just 22mph. It takes 4 hours to recharge the battery. It's got a low seat height of just 725mm and weighs just 115kg.

How long before we see an electric Hyosung motorcycle?
