This Auranthetic "Charger" electric motorcycle is one of very few running units left on the road today. It has a top speed of 30mph & will travel about 30 to 35 miles on a charge. It uses 2 RV/Marine type 12volt batteries.
OH YES! I found an Auranthetic in a disused barn ,had it 5 years now ,but only just got around to finishing it off so it runs perfect.Very impressed and the best fun i have ever had on the road.I would never consider selling man!
Expect an Auranthetic to cruise about 28mph. They are a very simple design indeed. I'm surprised the modern scooters have such powerful motors as the batteries seem so small. Auranthetics attract a lot of public attention because they are a classic. Again, I hope you find one.
the best sidewalk scooters today are 1000 watts. They do about 25mph.lots of electronics for control. I like the simple design from the 70's with a couple of relays and the fact that it is classic and so very rare. Its probably over 1000 watts.
746 watts=1hp and these are at least 1hp. I know that those sidewalk-scooters list the watts but they are toys by comparison. I really hope you find one of these. They are rare but not impossible to find. Go to Flickr(dot com) to see my 3-wheeler and a modified Auranthetic with a 2,800 watt motor that was way too fast. I took it apart because it was unsafe.
I've had this bike for a long time and can't imagine ever parting with it. They can sometimes be found on ebay, Craigslist, Recycler, and Cycle Trader. When someone is trying to sell theirs, they usually go cheap. I'll let you know if I come across one for sale.
I just got one of these! Its just a rolling chassis though no motor or anything.

Fantastic, why has it taken so long for the motorcycle industry to come up with anything as good?

Thanks that would be great. I am going to start looking for one. Do you know how many watts they are?
