New electric scooter from a revived Portuguese brand. <https://newatlas.com/motorcycles/famel-e-xf/>

All looks jolly nice and I'm sure it will sell.

And it has a swappable battery.

But I'm not sure that using a body-builder model to demonstrate how easy
it is to lift out the battery sends quite the right message.

I think you must have some serious misconceptions about bodybuilders.
I mean, there's a bit of visible muscle on the arms, but a shortarse
like that in no way implies any sort of strength requirements.

It is quite spendy re47k. Wonder how much of a scrote magnet it would be

Interesting if they could add a CCS2 socket

"Bodybuilder, noun, a person who strengthens and enlarges the muscles of
their body through strenuous exercise."

The degree to which this is taken is a different matter.

It is how most "bikers" see themselves.
