Electric Cycle Scooter Review
Archive for the ‘Mobility Scooter’ Category
Electric vehicles not only mean freedom from having to buy expensive gas and oil, freedom from smelly exhaust, freedom from loud noise but they are nearly maintenance free. At this time of the year the weather has gotten cold, wet and nasty. Most of us have had to put away our bicycles, scooters, mopeds for the winter. In the past if you had gasoline burners you had to add expensive chemicals so the gas wouldn’t go bad. Now days most of us are having to use Ethanol gasoline which attracts moisture and compounds the storage problems. Come Spring most of us have a hard time getting our vehicles started and running up to snuff. For a lot of us the Spring ritual required time and expense.
Not so with the new Electric vehicles
. I just park mine and cover them to keep them clean. Come Spring all I have to do is uncover them and give them a quick charge. They are ready and dependable plus they are not adding pollutants to our enviroment. Better yet if we have a couple days of good weather I can break them out and use them with out any problems or work.
A Revolution in Electric Mobility Scooters
Electric mobility scooters have been a blessing to those people who are unable to walk, or get around. The designs have opened up their lives by allow then to move around there homes, visit others, even run some of their chores. However since there inception they haven’t changed much. True they allow a disabled person to have some mobility, but that mobility was very limited. They only operated on smooth hard surfaces, and were very slow. Mobility Scooters had a void, they were designed for the severely disabled or more sedate persons. What about the person who just isn’t able to walk blocks or long distances. The people who were very active and wanted to spend time at outdoor events like Car Shows, Fairs, Expositions, Camping, Parks. People who wanted to be with other people but dreaded the fact that they always were tagging along slowly, or worse getting stuck.
Well now there is the Xtreme 420m Electric Mobility Scooter. It is set on three pneumatic wheels that goes through grass, dirt, rough surfaces, up and down hills. It is very stable and it can travel up to 15 mph and on average 20 miles per charge. It also can operate early morning, dusk and night since it has head, tail, and brake lights, also turn signals. It has a large comfortable adjustable captains seat with arm rests, rear view mirrors. There are large storage compartments. It is classified as an Electric bicycle and as a result it can travel in bicycle lanes and paths and doesn’t require a drivers license. It would seem that it should be called an “Electric Mobility Vehicle”. All of the owners we have spoken to have nothing but high praise for it and recommend it highly. They laugh that now they are the ‘leader of the pack’ when they go out.
When a football injury put me on the sidelines for a few months of my senior year, I thought it was the end of the world. Not only would I have to sit out the rest of the season, but I could no longer get to school and work from my home out in the country with any reliability. Knowing that it would take months before my leg fully recovered from surgery, I made a decision: I wouldn’t rely on friends and family to pick me up and drive me around anymore.
I pooled some of my savings from odd jobs performed during the summer and bought an electric mobility scooter online. When it arrived outside my house, I was eager to take the scooter out for a spin. I had been expecting a rather pedestrian, laid-back speed, but the vehicle was full of vim and vigor. It’s definitely not your grandparents’ mobility aid. Now that my leg is fully functional once again, I like to take the scooter to town just for old times’ sake.
