Thanks for posting this (not yours' Syd, Lol). I went to their website and read through most of it. This is interesting enough to me that I might consider investing in the company. It's a shame that they couldn't keep the business entirely in the U.S., however. But, I understand that in order to compete in pricing and delivery times, they didn't have too much choice.

A lot of that machine looks to be made of existing moped parts.

The fork looks like an EBR hydro for a Puch, the frame has a top brace added, but looks like a clone of a Kromag (JCP Pinto, Sears FreeSpirit). The wheels look like Bernardis for a Peugeot and the front brake looks to be derived from a Mike Thomas disc conversion kit.

The seat, electric powertrain and left-side pedal system look to be the only non-borrowed parts.
At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...

Seriously...I've lost count...

Seven mopeds ...that's still manageable...

Not surprising that many of the components of the Monday electric resemble those from a moped considering one of the founders has a history with them.
