I'm agreeing with dreesemonkey: 20mph kind of puts you in the zone where an electrically assisted bicycle or this scoot would work. $780 brand new is pretty drat cheap, but I'd be worried about longevity at that price point being that good batteries and motors/controllers on e-bicycles can cost that much alone without the wheels, frame, and everything else. Also, I'm going to second the test ride before purchasing, as 500w is a really small motor, and if you do need to pop over to an area that doesn't have dedicated bicycle lanes, having pedals to help push you along would be a godsend in keeping up with traffic. Also, do you have an idea where you're going to store or park it during the day when you get a job in Montreal? Though they're more money, a folding e-bicycle would allow you to bring the bike into an office to charge alongside a desk (and keep away from the less honest folks in the city). Same idea with no plates, no insurance, no problems there but you could also pedal like a madman and go 30. Or upgrade the hub motor to a 1kW model and scare motorcyclists.
