Electric Scooters/Bicycles?




Uncle Chuc


Can you recommend from personal experience either a razor type with fat tires, or an electric power scooter or bicycle that has decent range, low weight and OK power? I want something I can take on the LA subway.

Thank you, and unlike many, I will remember to come back & give 10 pts for best answer. Thanks again.



Answer
First, you'll need to decide whether you want an electric bike or an electric scooter. Although an electric scooter costs less and is normally more compact than a bike, an electric scooter will be limited to a specific range, so once it runs out of power, you'll have no other choice but to walk. An electric bike is a bit more flexible, since you can pedal it (just like a normal bike) if it runs out of "juice". So if you have a slightly longer range (over 5 miles) you'll probably be better off with an electric bike.

From my experience, the Razors have a very short range - often less than 5 miles. These scooters are also quite small (in size and power) and are more suitable for children and small teens. If you're looking for a scooter, you might consider an EZIP. They have several high-powered models which are much larger and more suitable for teenagers and adults, with ranges up to 12 miles. Here's a list of products:

If you'd like more range and flexibility, you might prefer an electric bike instead. They'll obviously cost more, but the big advantage is that you can pedal. There's a wide variety of options and styles to choose from. Price points vary from $499 up to around $2000. There's even several "folding bikes" which might be ideal for the subway...

Can anyone recommend an electric mini-bike?

I am newly interested in small recreational motor vehicles and am interested in purchasing a beginning minibike. I was looking at the Serengeti Badger 450, and wanted to try and find other bikes like it. Problem is, that seems to be the only electric one I came across with that look. Can anyone recommend to me any electric minibikes similar to the Badger and within the same price range?


Answer
Yamaha do an effective ( it works) electric bicycle, but it is pricy, however, it works and here in the UK it is being purchased.
Everything depends on the battery technology, which has a way to go yet.

I would wait about 5 years myself, then they could get good. Meantime, look at the Dutch diesel bikes this may be a better way to go
