Here is a Electric-Scooter-World.com Road Test & Report - 11/29/2004
Summary:
The dual seat is a first for mini-electric-scooters. The motor is powerful enough to carry two medium passengers. The suspension-ride of the FORSEN is superior to any other scooter we have ridden, including full-size models. The FORSEN has a huge quick swap 24v 40ah battery pack, which makes bringing the scooter inside for charging unnecessary. This is good because the FORSEN is HEAVY at around 150 lbs.
The FORSEN speed is close to that of the Numo Cruiser LX (Stock gear). Exactly how fast it goes and how it compares to other quality scooters is covered in the November 2004 issue of ESW NEWS.
The FORSEN has a front disc and rear band brake.
The FORSEN has full street equipment (Front, rear, brake lights, turns signals, a speedometer-odometer, and a horn).
The FORSEN folds down for transport in the trunk of a large car or the back seat of a medium to large car, and in the back of most suvs and any station wagon.
The Forsen II comes with a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin (MCO).
The FORSEN is a strong contender for scooter of the year and one of the favorites in the 2004 GRAND PRIX competition.
If you would like a more in depth report, showing the FORSEN attributes over a variety of routes and performance situations like: maximum speed, range, hill climbing ability, etc, and you would like to see how it compares against competitor scooters, then get the November 2004 issue of ESW NEWS.

JDELUNA, your encouraged as a community stakeholder to share your preferred future vision of our growing community http://visforvoltage.org/forum-topic/our-community-vision/330-it-seems-well-be-here-awhile-what-your-vision-future-

Jerome at http://electric-scooter-world.com/ has for a couple years at least consistently named the Forsen as basically the top of this class of scooter.

What I don't understand from their marketing statements that George copied is.. the DOT doesn't have regulations for this class of scooter. So how can they claim compliance with DOT regulations when there aren't any to comply with?

What they probably mean is they're using DOT certified parts in as many places as possible.

I have a lot of confidence in Jerome at http://electric-scooter-world.com.
As far as basic EV transportation, I like it. The look leaves a lot to be desired, that's the main reason I didn't get one.
I'm far from a expert, so I'm sure other will chime in, but if your a handy person and can tinker I'd say go for it if the price is right.
Fechter would be a good person to contact.
If you take the plunge, be sure to keep us updated.

Peace Out, ;)

This may explain it NHTSA Importation and Certification FAQ?s: Group 2: Motorcycles and Scooters.

I had a much better explanation, but we had a storm last night, lost power several times after a transformer got hit or something at Hampton and Sublette. And of course I hadn't saved it, so I'm trying to find it again. What it said was DOT allows the small Motorcycle etc importer to do a self certification where they list all the information. If there is latter a problem that information will be used for the investigation.
So DOT approved is not always what it seems to indicate, like locking the gate after the Cow has gone. Maybe that's something that will change with all the negative press about China imports, and some additional funding for DOT.

Peace Out,
