For most people that would easily get them to and from work during the week and handle most weekend trips as well. Yes, longer trips are kind of out of the question, but so what, this is still cool and for me, even with a 55-mile commute, it would serve 90% of my street-car needs.
I worked at an EV company for a while and rode a ~400cc equivalent electric motorscooter most of the time in nice weather. Never having to stop for gas was a nice benefit I hadn't really considered.
