is that 8,000 as in miles or kilometers (ala 5000 miles) - if it's 8000 miles then that is a long service interval - fink most over 125/250 are 6k miles

Hardly. I do 27 miles into the very heart of London. It takes me between 50 minutes and an hour and ten, depending on traffic. My trip takes in every kind of road and probably every type of junction too, along with the most congested roads anyone would ever see.

Even when it's bad, I am hardly stationary for more then a few seconds anywhere.

So I really do not see the point of the complexity added by stop start to a scooter.
