Hey guys, I want to give my younger brother a lightweight, compact electric scooter which he could use every day for college without getting too much hassle about the weight and charging. A few days ago, I came across this one. Have anybody seen this before? https://fluidfreeride.com/products/mosquito-light-carbon-fibre-electric-scooter Please let me know what you think.

Looks good if he needs to carry it on the bus or train. If not, I would get something with taller tires, even though it will be heavier.
I read the ad and more importantly, the reviews in it. Concerning ANY electric vehicle, "Range per charge" is at the top of my list of important things to consider. Most, if not all the reviews (I've combed the first 3 pages so far), have omitted any meaningful info about range. A LOT of these manufacturers of pricey e-vehicles seem to get their range-estimates from "Unicorn Happy Sunshine Labs", or somewhere similarly overly optimistic.
Hopefully, the Real World Range will meet your requirements. You have one lucky brother!

Of the two, the Viribus bike seems to me the more realistic. A real bike with a seat and large wheels. The scooters wheel are just right for catching cracks and bumps. That said the Viribus has the smallest motor available and the battery is as small as I've ever seen, 10 amp hours is usually the normal. If it's range is too small you can get larger batteries if the space is available.
Pedalling helps range.
