Has anyone tried, or purchased, a Kero electric scooter?
They've recently gone on sale here.

Electric scooters are certainly abundant on the streets of Kunming. Sold here for 2500-3500 yuan, or USD$330-470.

One can google a lot about these, including:

Aside from the issues like driver skill, lead use and build quality, I think such could play an important role in urban commuting in many countries.

Yup,
I was interested in whether anyone had experience with this particular manufacturer of scooters as I've been unable to find any reports on their performance or reliability.

It would appear that you will have to stick with people in NZ as a Google search reveals no other locations for dealers.

I did the same Google Tony. in fact I first found the link in an advert here at PC.
The Kero scooters are manufactured by the Chinese Erato Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Company.
http://erato.en.ec21.com/.
Since other posts here had mentioned Chinese electric vehicles recently I thought someone might have run across these scooters in some of their reading.

***edit*** Im trying NOT to read into your post the implication that no other kiwis read PC
