It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

The scooter is about $1,000 USD, and comes with no battery. It's intended specifically to work in conjunction with a battery swap service that's growing in Japan.
Honda appears to sell the 1.5kWh batteries to commercial customers for about $700 USD each, as well as what they are calling 'Power Exchangers' which are basically battery-recharging vending machines.
One of these batteries should give the scooter a range of 50km. From this page that's a couple years old, it seems like the subscription cost is roughly twenty dollars a month, and there are pay as you go rates as well at less than two bucks a kilowatt.
That's pretty cool.
