The X-Treme electric scooter is a very attractive scooter but it has some issues. The 300 watt motor is not powerful enough to pull an adult up much of a hill. The quality of the scooter is just not quite up to the standards of the other scooters on this site. For the money, you can get a much better scooter from a different company.

The “econo” mode will run at speeds up to 12 miles per hour for a range of 12 miles. The “turbo” mode will go up to 20 miles per hour for a range of eight miles. This scooter is almost identical to the Go-Ped ESR750H but it does not have the sophisticated suspension system. This is a serious commuting scooter for adult riders.

Electric Scooter Riding Tips After Years Driving a Car

Lee — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 04:38:41 +0000

For years I vowed never to ride a motorbike. I was a car person. But when fuel prices went up, it made me think again. Add that to the fact that moving around in a car wasn’t any fun again, I decided to take the plunge and buy an electric scooter.

I’ve had it a while now and my fears about getting knocked off have proved unfounded. I feel as safe on my electric scooter as I did in my car.

If you’re thinking of making the switch, here’s some tips on riding an electric scooter:Think ahead. I know you already do this when driving a car but it’s more important on a scooter, especially when you’re approaching a junction or intersection.

Modern electric scooters have bright lights and you should keep it on even during the day. Don’t get carried away by weaving through traffic.

One of the best things about having an electric scooter is the ability to jump traffic queues. But do this with caution. Don’t try and jump to the head of the line at 30 m. p. h. Treat each car in your way as a separate hazard.

There may be pedestrians crossing the road. Electric scooters are very quiet. And that’s great. But remember that people crossing the road, or other road users, may not hear you. Don’t make assumptions.

Make sure your electric scooter is properly maintained. It’s easy to become complacent about this. There are less mechanical parts on an electric scooter, so one of the advantages is that they need less maintenance.

But bear in mind that it does still have parts that all scooters have, such as tyres. Never let the tread wear down beyond legal limits. It can be dangerous. Pay attention to the weather. If it rains and the road is wet it will affect the handling of your electric scooter, especially when going round bends. You can still ride your scooter in the rain because it has to be very wet before it gets tricky but just make sure you’re aware of things like braking distances. These are much longer in the wet.

Riding an electric scooter can be great fun, especially in congested cities. They’re cheap to run, eco-friendly and have a fair amount of zip in them these days. It’s much better to be riding one than to be cramped up in a car, sitting in endless queues of traffic. As long as you ride sensibly you will have a great time.

Electric Powered Scooter – Is It Better Than A Gas Powered Scooter?

Lee — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 04:33:57 +0000

Is an electric powered scooter better than a gas powered one? Well, better is a relative word and both these types of scooters do have their own advantages.

An electric powered scooter is a new concept but gaining popularity over the gas powered scooter. One thing to consider here is the standard fuel or gas powered engine was discovered almost 100 years ago and has been constantly improved by many engineers for better performance with the latest engines controlled by computers.

As compared to this the electric powered vehicles are relatively new technology and there is lot more to come. Electronic powered scooters have their own advantages. Some of them can be listed here like. 1) Lightweight2) Less noisy3) Low running and maintenance cost4) Zero pollution5) Easy maneuvering even in heavy traffic

With all these things in consideration it seems that they are much better than a gas-powered scooter. But they do have their limitations. The very first limitation is the battery on which the electric powered scooter runs. This needs charging on a regular interval and will be useless where electricity is a big problem.

Also electric powered vehicles are lightweight and may not be as a robust as gas-powered vehicles, hence not suitable for long traveling distances. As the electric powered scooters are still new in the market there are many less number of people who can service such kind of vehicle. That is not the case with standard gas powered scooters. Plenty of resources are easily available when it comes to maintaining a gas-powered vehicle.

Apart from all these factors electric powered scooters are gaining popularity because they are easy to drive for all age groups and are innovative. People like “innovation and new” things happening in life. Imagine a college teenager owning an electric scooter. It brings him immediate attention amongst his friends and saves him money too. So an electric powered scooter is a great option in the future as a personal vehicle. Copyright S. M. Vaidya

Choosing A Kids Electric Scooter

Lee — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 04:25:10 +0000

The door slams and it?s your child bragging about his friends? new scooter. For the next few days, all you hear is how cool it is and how fast it goes. It?s obvious that your child wants an electric scooter too, but which kids electric scooter is right for them?

Kids scooters have come a long way over the years. Forget about those kick scooters or push scooters. Those are old hat and kids electric scooters are gaining ground. How do you decide from all the different kids electric scooters which is right for your child?

Take these issues into consideration when deciding on your scooter investment. Kids electric scooters come in a variety of shapes and sizes and depending on several factors, including age of rider, size of rider, maturity level of rider will play a major role in deciding which electric scooter is right for you.

The age of the rider, along with the size of the rider are important in deciding on a scooter. The average 100 watt kids electric scooter is simple to operate and is perfect for ages 5-8. But even at age 8, it may be a bit small.

Most 100 watt and 140 watt electric scooters come with hard, solid rubber wheels. Though these wheels are good for this scooter, people are not told that with a rough road or rough riding surface, the wheels will get chewed up and in time, you will be replacing the wheels on these scooters.

These scooters are rated to carry loads of up to 120 lbs, some rate as high as 200 lbs. However, our recommendation for these types of electric scooters would be no more than 60-70 lbs.

The 250 watt kids electric scooter is perfect for ages 6-14. Starting with these scooters, the tires are rubber with inner-tubes. This provides for a much smoother ride, along with a lasting tire. These scooters can handle the weight, as long as the inflation recommendation are maintained.

For electric scooters that are 350 watts or higher, kids or adults can usually get around nicely on these. The 350 watt electric scooters are also known as kids electric scooters, because that is what is seen throughout neighborhoods around the country. These scooters are built for speed, convenience, durability and safety. These scooters are for both kids and adults. If the child is mature enough to handle this type of scooter, then the 350 watt will not disappoint and for the older child, the 500 watt will not be outgrown.

M.S.owns TM-MotorWorks Scooter Store and has been servicing electric scooters for several years. While featuring electric scooters he also offers top of the line Gas Scooters. You can find out more about a kids electric scooter by scooting over to ScooterHaven.

All About Electric Scooters

Lee — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 04:13:53 +0000

We’ve heard about electronic scooters already, but don’t really understand what it means. And while we ARE aware that electronic scooters run on, well, electricity, there’s still more we need to know.

E-scooters function by linking a battery and a motor the adult kick scooter, which is found in standard gas powered scooters. Speeds and brakes are controlled via a switch that is attached to the handlebar. And because electronic scooters are a fairly new invention, laws governing them are still in process, so, technically, no rules are in place.

While there are also gas powered scooters, electric motor scooters are more convenient to use. This is because you no longer need to go to the gas station to fill up. All you need to do is plug the electric motor scooter into an electrical outlet and wait a couple of hours for it recharge fully. After which, you can start enjoying another trip around the neighborhood again.

Electronic scooters have varying speeds, too. The slowest could be at just 10 miles per house, while others can go for as fast at 30 miles per hour, enough to be included in several racing events. In addition, these are also some scooters that can easily go uphill and cut through headwinds.

E-scooters glide on the road so the feeling of literally cruising the block is there. It’s also very useful when you need to do quick errands and short trips to the grocery store.

And because it’s a pretty new vehicle, it is also a good way to meet new people, as it makes a very interesting conversation piece. Problems with traffic will also be a thing of the past as scooters can easily maneuver through any tight jam. Never again will you be late for an appointment.

Electric motor scooters also come in portable and foldable versions. If you travel around a lot, you can simply fold up or disassemble your electric motor scooter and the plane won’t even scold you for it.

Electric scooters can go as light as 22 pounds. Also, you can also say goodbye to having to worry about gas money (though you might see your electric bill rise). E-scooters are also so compact that you are allowed to bring them on public transports like planes, buses and trains.

Gas-powered scooters do not have this privilege. Not only that, you are not a contributor to global warming and noise as they do not emit fumes and are very silent workers.

And though most people buy e-scooters as “toy”, it is a lot functional than it’s perceived. In summary, electric scooters are fast becoming the transportation of choice by many people, not just hobbyists and those with limited mobility. And because demand for this equipment is increasing, it is likely to become more accessible and affordable in the years to come.
