Electric Cycle Scooter Review
Archive for the ‘Scooters’ Category
Scooters are fast becoming more popular with people who live in the city and are looking to save money on gas, car insurance, maintenance, and all the other expenses of owning an automobile. Electric scooters have become much more common on city streets in the past few years. These scooters are feasible for short and middle range travel, and are excellent for navigating city streets. Electric motor scooters are also great for parking in the city, as most of the time you don’t have to pay and can just lock up with a railing and keep your scooter secure. While these scooters can’t travel at significant speeds, they’re great for the city which tends to be packed with traffic.
Electric motor scooters save on all the costs of an automobile, and also provide a helping hand to the environment. In countries outside the U.S., automobiles are much less common on the road than bicycles, motorcycles, and electric motor scooters, and are much of the reasons these countries have less pollution. If everyone owned a scooter, imagine what a difference it would make in cities like Los Angeles!
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.
“GREEN”, Business, Electric Vehicles = Great Partners!
Large and small business has finally gotten on the bandwagon of “GREEN”, some of there efforts have been building green plants, offices, and other buildings that are energy saving. They are using recycled products, energy saving products, and even adjusting operating hours to create energy savings. We heartily endorse this trend. We also offer this suggestion: Encourage your employees to do the same. One way would be encouraging employees to use Electric Vehicles like Electric Mopeds, Electric Bicycles, and Electric Scooters. These Companies could provide ‘charging stations’, preferred parking, even indoor parking. The costs are minimal, possibly even cost saving. These vehicles are normally smaller and require less parking space. It certainly would help the business’s image but better yet it would be a great asset and morale booster to their employees. Maybe even some type of cost sharing program for their employees.
Another way they can promote “Green” is to use these same vehicles. Electric Bicycles are inexpensive and have nearly no maintenance, the same can be said for Electric Scooters. These could be used for transportation between buildings, plants, or outside destinations. A bonus is they can be used inside those same structures because they don’t make noise, no exhaust fumes, no oil dripping, compact size, and maintenance is minimal compared to gas/propane vehicles. They could provide quicker transportation of personnel and quite probably save the Company time and money.
In fact we should encourage our City’s, Counties, State and Federal Governments to utilize these Green Machines. Government is the perfect tool to set the example for the rest of us. After all any money they save is really ours.
How to Choose an Electric Scooter for Your Kids
There are a lot of Electric Scooters on the market now and a large percentage of them are aimed at the youth market. With the Christmas season nearly upon us we need to gather some information on what to look for before making a purchase. When comparing Electric Scooters look for how many Watts the motor is, how many volts, and how many batteries. What type of batteries, are they the new Lithium Batteries? Batteries should be mounted low for a low center of gravity. Frames should be high strength steel. How big and what type of tire do they have? Do they have front and rear suspension? Do they have front and rear brakes? The bigger and faster the scooter is so should the frame, suspension, and brakes be. Do they fold for easy transportation or storage? The line of Electric Scooters from Xtreme Scooters (an Industry leader) has evolved from the early price point versions to today’s high tech, high performance, and durable yet affordable line of electric scooters.
When selecting a scooter don’t just pick out the best looking or the fastest, you should be selecting one that is right for your child’s age, size, and ability. Be careful of the big discount warehouse stores models. Be sure to read all the information on all the models. They should clearly tell you all the specifications of the motor, batteries, and suspension. What there load rating is, how fast they can go, and what level their intended age and ability group is. In closing always be sure that your kids wear protective gear when using their electric scooter.
Never in history have we needed to reduce our own expense’s, reduce consumption of precious natural resources, and reduce pollution more than right now. One of the first things that comes to mind when reducing expense is transportation. But some of the answers are just a little to extreme for us, such as: ride a bicycle to work, buy a hybrid car, ride a moped/scooter. Work might be to far for riding a bike, a hybrid car to expensive, and a Moped/Scooter has it’s problems, sometimes it is to cold, and storing them creates a problem with moisture in the fuel, hard starting after sitting a while, noisy and smelly for parking at work and in the garage.
Electric Vehicles can counter most of those problems. Electric bicycles can travel upto 25 miles per charge and travel up to 20 mph without any physical exertion (in the rare instance of no more charge you can pedal them). They can travel in the bike lanes and get through traffic quickly. The newest designs look like Mopeds and can have windshields attached.
Electric Mopeds (look like Vespa scooters) can travel up to 60 mph for up to 85 miles. They have comfortable seating, and wind protection, and can seat two adults. They need very little maintenance, no costly fuel, no pollutants, and are inexpensive compared to hybrid cars, and you can park them easily (sometimes companies let them inside the building since they are quiet and not smelly). Best of all they are not using gasoline and polluting.
The newest technology has really made these vehicles a viable answer to today’s needs. They have new highly efficient motors, batteries that are smaller but more powerful than ever, and new designs for today’s needs. They are the future.
