HMP’s new $3,999 electric scooter is the affordable, street-legal commuter the US needs

The US electric two-wheeler market has no shortage of high-powered electric motorcycles and moped-style e-bikes. But if you’re looking for something in between – a practical, street-legal electric scooter built for everyday transportation rather than weekend thrills – your options are surprisingly limited.

That’s why the new HMP Lightning MK.II caught my attention.
