So, does it have underseat storage? That's what I want to know about any Super Cub successor. At $1,100 and built in Vietnam, this could actually become a scooter people use on Asian streets every day. Honestly, electrification gives me both excitement and a little bit of nostalgia at the same time.

took decades after the gas Cub sold forever, but finally going electric—slow but good direction

cheap upfront but I care more about what battery swaps cost in Vietnam

range will decide it—might end up commute-only, also wondering if it can carry luggage
