I have ridden them before. Quite a bit different feeling to an ICE two wheeler as they drive both wheels. And the wheels are very small diameter in comparison to a standard farm/MX/Enduro 2 wheeler. So that limits them to reasonably smoothish terrain.
The quoted range is on tar seal. Gravel, riverbed, steep country the range quickly diminishes.
Water can ingress along the wheel axles and enter the elec motor. Poof!!! go the electrons. So even shallow wading is off the books. Shallow puddles OK.
They will have their place.
Oh, and you can buy a very tidy 2 wheeler a couple of years old that will grossly out perform it in all respects except noise, for the same dosh.
