Electric scoots have come along way, but they have more to go to be competitive.

I tested a Gigabyke electric scooter a couple months ago at a local shop. Was pretty fun. Pretty zippy. Perfect for the bike lanes here in Tucson. $1500 or so total. Shame I couldn't save enough cash, hence me getting my 150cc instead.

Mahindra is a major player in India manufacturing cars, luxury vehicles, trucks, motorcycles and farm equipment and is trying to break into more than the farm equipment market in the US so this could get interesting.
I would hope to see another model to better compete with the 150cc to 200cc bikes in the near future.
They have a design center in Michigan and are vying for the US Postal Vehicle contract and are a serious contender for that one so if they win that and start manufacturing here we may see quite a few of their other vehicles sold here too.
Polaris is shuttering Victory which currently makes the Empulse Electric Superbike so hopefully they will find a way to keep that alive without Victory.
