I’m a motorcycle commuter, and I’d like to be comfortable on my fully faired maxi-scooter down to about freezing. I just don’t know if the electric motorcycle vests or jackets really work, or if they work fast enough to actually help me–my commute is only about 15 minutes. I do get cold easily but ride fairly often when the temperature is in the 40s–I just bundle up. Thanks.

Mine starts heating up in 5 seconds or less. They work great and your fingers stay warmer. That’s because with your chest being warmed up, your body can then divert blood to your extremities, warming them up. You might just make sure your alternator is up to powering the vest. With your maxi scooter, I bet it is.
They work extremely well and very fast. I find that when bundling up it’s harder to move my head sideways to check over my shoulders. By allowing me to dress more lightly, an electric vest eliminates this problem. Another must-have, for me at least, is heated grips: they make a huge difference in cold weather comfort.
The electric vests do work. You have a maxi scooter which has good wind protection. Your commute is short. A few pages of newspaper under your coat to break the wind will do nearly as well. I think your money would be more wisely spent on heated handgrips or electric gloves.
It’s like wearing an electric blanket over your back and chest. Really great in cold weather.
they work right away/rode in the cold too many times and now i get reminded of it by the weather changes
