Propella is light and affordable.
Be aware that it has a weak azz battery, motor and brakes.

Motor - 250 W is too small. Scooter size. You WILL want more power.
500-750W hub motors are far more common, and will actually go up hills.

Battery - 7ah is WAY too small.
Power falls off dramatically as the battery discharges.
Only 36 Volts (48 Volt and higher = big advantages).
Their claim of 20-40 mile range is laughable.

Brakes - Mechanical disc brakes - cheap scooter technology.

You get what you pay for.
