Question Anyone here have a Juiced HyperScrambler 2?

I just ordered one; should ship next month. They're on closeout sale for $2500* including two battery packs. (instead of $3k with one and the 2nd one being $500, as they were a year ago) The "closeout" could be BS, but it felt like a good deal anyway.
* plus tax, but includes free shipping

Here's the high (+) and low (-) points:

+ 100 miles of range under ideal conditions. 40-50 at full throttle in Race mode. (33 mph) I figure I'll get 70-ish on both batts.
+ Full lighting, incl. turn signals
+ Full suspension
+ Street tread, puncture-resistant tires
+ Cast wheels
- 120 lbs.
- Got to be careful, legally speaking. An overzealous cop could ding me even if I have it restricted to Class 2 mode, since it's capable of motorcycle speeds.
- Not a great seat for longer rides
- Rack and fenders aren't included; I'm hoping for some kind of promotional offer from Juiced soon.
- Spendy. Battery replacements are going to be especially painful, when the time comes. One has to strongly consider a gas-powered scooter before buying one of these. They will go 100 miles on a tank at full throttle while getting at least 100 mpg, however, they require registration & insurance and can never be taken on multi-use paths.

Here are a couple of written reviews, with embedded videos that seem pretty down-to-earth:
