Record low prices on these two Xiaomi electric scooters if you're after something for short commuting or a bit of fun. The main difference between the 3 and 3 Lite is that the latter has a smaller battery and less range.
Edit: Now cheaper at Allphones

In Brisbane for Magic Round, I was shocked by the number of scooters on the street.
Coming from NSW where they aren't legal (but not uncommon) there were literally hundreds of scooters in the main streets of Brisbane - often driven by people without helmets or much road sense….
