That's reasonable depending on the condition. Are the ride-able at those prices ?

I thought they'd be rather cheaper (perhaps $100-150) given how old most of them are, and - let's face it - there's not much demand for them. The guys on St 158 didn't speak English and put me on the phone to someone who did, and I just asked him for a ballpark price. Like anything it would be negotiable ofc.

I used to have an electric scooter in Sydney (the kind you stand on) and one day I was about to pass an old bloke who took one look at me and said "you lazy bugger!" lol I can just just imagine the locals seeing you on an electric cyclo and thinking "fucking lazy barang".
