Scooter Related
Kids- Some
of the coolest new designs are electric, They are fast, and fun with the
best features like swing arm suspensions. And best yet, your parents will
probably go for one of these even though they don't think your old enough
for a scooter, Just let them know how clean and quiet they are and that
there is almost no maintenance unlike a gas scooter which needs you to
mix oil with the gas and can be a greasy mess.
Adults -
Enjoy the silence and freedom an electric scooter brings. Electric powered
scooters are nearly silent, Excellent for local transportation, and free
from annoying smells and noise. Your neighbors and friends will love your
choice and will probably get a scooter once they see how much fun and
trouble free your scooter is. With an electric scooter you can reduce
your transportation costs and if your in a large city possibly eliminate
your need to own a car. Just imagine, no $1.85gal gas!
Most Electric Scooters have a range of about 10 miles under average conditions. It is very easy to add additional batteries to "extend" your range and there are several scooters with a stock range of over 15 miles. Many scooters have removable battery packs that can be brought indoors for charging, an excellent solution is to charge your batteries at work (for free) if your commute is near the batteries limit in one direction
.If you need a scooter to go farther than it does stock, give us a call, we can add a custom battery pack to your scooter to suit your needs.
How Long Will The Battery Last? -
Sealed Lead Acid Batteries last approximately 300 charge cycles which means that if you are using your scooter to travel to work each day, you will need to replace your batteries once a year on average. Contrary to popular belief they are not very expensive nor difficult to replace. Scooter batteries usually range between $25 and $35 and are as easy to replace as plugging in your toaster.
How Much Does It Cost To Operate? -
The usual cost to recharge a Scooter is 10 to 15 cents per day, or the equivalent of 1.5 gallons of gas per month! Once you factor in the cost of batteries the daily cost reaches about 32 cents! (2 $35 batteries and 13 cents per day charging)
To charge your scooter simply turn it off, plug the charger into the scooters charging port (do not force the connection - it will slide in easily when done properly) , and then plug the scooter into the wall. All the scooters we sell employ smart chargers, meaning that you can't overcharge your scooter. The batteries will last much longer if they are kept fully charged at all times so it is recommended that you charge your scooter as soon as you have finished using it - this applies to Sealed Lead Acid batteries only (99% of electric scooters use SLA batteries), Nicad and Nimh batteries require different care.
Maintaining a scooter is similar to maintaining a bicycle and just as easy
1. Keep your batteries charged per the manufacturers
instruction
2. Keep the brakes and drive properly adjusted
3. Make sure to check tire pressure frequently - low pressure will greatly
affect your distance and speed
4. Lubricate the scooter per manufactures instruction
5. Periodically check all nuts and bolts for proper tightness
6. Adjust / tighten wheel spokes if you have spoked wheels
7. Periodically check all electrical connections and wires
see scooter mods for how to instructions
Most states allow electric scooters on low speed roadways - it is best to check with your local police and city government for any ordinances regarding electric scooters. Bicycle paths are an excellent roadway for scooters, your local bike shop probably has maps of all the paths in your city.
