I am looking for a scooter that doesn't require a license to just ride for recreation primarily and maybe getting to the shops by my house/library if I feel like it. Can anyone tell me how the balance is on one of these, both standing and sitting? I have not tried one yet or any electric scooter for that matter.
Additional info: 5' foot tall female, average weight.

Answer
Have not seen the 500 in action (Australia has these odd laws about electric bikes/scooters, nothing over 200w is allowed, anything above this is classed as a motor bike requiring a license and registration)
But we do have the smaller brothers of the 500 and they are quite good and pretty stable.
Looking at the images of the 500 it has it battery pack under the floor pan and sizable pneumatic wheels which all should add to it's ride quality.
It is made by Currie, a company with a long history of making electric bikes and scooters

As with anything like this, range is dependent on the weight of the rider and the terrain (i.e. hills or the lack of them) the maximum range given for the 500 is 8 miles but that would be on the flat with the lightest possible rider, the real world number is usually less, say 5-6 as an optimistic guess, less if hills are in the equation. But 4-5 miles is still quite a good distance, I would certainly buy one of these if they were allowed here.

Which countries now have full-electric car technology besides China and Japan?
Q. BYD e6 electric full-size SUV: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BYD_e6
Nissan LEAF compact electric car: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Leaf
* Chevrolet Volt is not full-electric besides it needs gasoline as fuel.

Answer
It depends upon what you mean by "full-electric car technology" and by asking "which countries"...
Electric cars are not a national phenomena. They are things. National policies can promote electric cars but to my knowledge no country has nationalized an electric car building company and is producing electric cars on their own. Corporations may give some a feeling of national pride or identity but many corporations are multi national and may hold allegiance to no country.
Countries and areas that promote electric cars with incentives are more likely to attract corporations that are making electric cars. Such companies are in some ways not very different than other corporations. If an area will provide certain grants, property, utilities, or tax incentives then companies are more likely to build a plant in that location. Having cheap labor and reasonable lines of supply are also a plus. Selling their products may require a different set of incentives to attract buyers.
A case in point may be "Better Place." http://www.betterplace.com/ This company does not make cars. They sell a battery swapping service. They have several international initial target locations including: Israel, Denmark, Australia and Hawaii, San Francisco and Canada. The nissan leaf was to be a part of their system and may be in the future. For now they are swapping batteries on the Renault Fluence ZE. http://www.betterplace.com/ By some measure this might be considered a "full-electric car technology," but to what country are you going to attribute this technology? Shai Agassi, the companies founder and CEO has lived in California and Israel.
The Tesla Roadster is an American company and a media success. It is now selling their cars internationally, but the actual number of vehicles sold is presently just over 1000.1 Their are many lessor known electric vehicle companies that may happily sell you a vehicle that is hardly a production run. For a full production run of a full electric vehicle (BEV: battery electric vehicle) that is fully highway capable in the US we are looking to the Nissan Leaf as a first. Zap vehicles have been built in China for years and sold by an American Company internationally as motorcycles but we might not necessarily put these in the same class as the Nissan Leaf. The same may be true of other of the ess expensive Chinese cars.
I would agree that the Volt is not a "full electric" vehicle, but it is more electric than the more parallel hybrid prius. From a purist point of view perhaps even a BEV is not a pure electric vehicle as it uses chemistry in the batteries. A pure electric might use ultracapacitors for storage or something like this: http://electric-vehicles-cars-bikes.blogspot.com/2009/08/korean-researchers-develop-electric.html
