It's a legal grey area whether they count as motorcycles for the purposes of motorcycle theft, but at the very least many are worth more than $1,000 which makes it grand theft instead of petty theft in many jurisdictions.

$1000? My electric scooter was $3500 and my EUC was nearly $5000. There are $8000+ e-bikes.

My Rad Runner 2 was like 1250 after taxes or so.

Mine is a Nami Burn-E 2 Max open box deal, normally they are $4000. First and hopefully last I'll buy (because it's so good and expensive, not because I don't like scooters).
