Hi and welcome, Jen. I have a 91 3-wheel Police Cushman that I drive/ride
irregularly. I feel uncomfortable at speeds over about 35, but I'm an Old
Farte. It gets over 30 m.p.g..
The electric Cushman you linked to is a 4-wheeler. NONE of the Cushman
4-wheelers are street legal in CA. My guess is if you cant convert a
3-wheeler *yourself* to electric, then it will probably end up costing you
a bunch. Keep on dreaming, and I second the opinion to join the Yahoo
Cushman Group(There is also a Cushman Scooter Group, but that wont help you
much.)
