Not sure if you will find a true moped/motorbike with electric motor - hopefully others will know for sure. But those pedal cycles with electric motors are on sale. One place I've seen them is the bike shop on Petkasem just North of Bangkok Bank, and on the same side of the road.

Not sure about Hua Hin, but many many choices in Bangkok, and at varying prices too.

Yes, I think thats where the missus bought hers. I cant say it impressed, quite expensive and not very comfortable to ride. She had to take it back to fix it twice in a year

The electric mopeds normally on sale here are imports from China.

They're ok but the main problem is with the batteries/battery charger.

The batteries don't seem to last very long and tend to be very expensive to replace.

Hi
I'll have a walk about in Hua Hin to see if there is a dealer.
I live and work in China at the moment, so I am familiar with Chinese quality.

If you know the where-about of some dealers, please do not hesitate to tell me.

once a year market village has a promotion weekend where they sell all kind of things p.e. electric motorbikes in various design and prices. I saw them last year end of March/begin April.
