There’s something inherently funny about calling a nearly 500-pound electric maxi-scooter a “125.” Normally, that number brings to mind lightweight commuters, delivery bikes, and motorcycles whose performance brief can basically be summarized as “we’ll get there eventually.” German EV company Trinity apparently has a somewhat different interpretation, because its Saturn GT 300 allegedly tops out at 87 miles per hour.
And yes, this thing really does sit in Europe’s 125-class licensing world. Trinity says the Saturn GT 300 can be ridden under the A1 category, as well as Germany’s B196 car-license extension. At the same time, the company describes it as offering performance comparable to a 500cc maxi-scooter. Somehow, both of those statements can coexist, which is where electric vehicle regulations start getting pretty confusing.
