I need a good cheap electric engine… any suggestions? I want to build an electric scooter, not like the stand up ones, but like the sit-down vespas. I need a good motorc, maybe 10hp, and for as cheap as possible and that goes maybe 30 or 40 mph. Anyone know of a good one, or a good lawnmower to pull one out of, etc?

thanks

Which characteristics you people normally looks for a mini electric scooter? Price maybe? quality? any special feature? Which kind of people do you think will buy it?

I’m trying to do a research on mini electric scooters and don’t found anything about it.
I’m referring to a street-legal two-wheeled type, to transport you in small distances, maybe from the bus stop to your work building

Electric Scooters or Mobility Scooters are specially designed for people who have low mobility. An electric scooter is basically a battery-operated vehicle with the capacity of only one person. These scooters are mainly used by those people who feel difficulty in standing or walking for long periods of time. The Electric Scooters or Mobility Scooters are either designed for indoor use, outdoor use and both indoor and outdoor use. The main difference between an Electric Scooter and a motorized wheelchair is that the later is generally intended for indoor use and also costs more.

The Mobility scooters generally come in a wide range of styles which are capable of accommodating different types of user needs. The Electric Scooters can have three wheels or maybe four. All these scooters run with battery power, so there is no chance to create environmental pollution. The pair of batteries used by these scooters are rechargeable and need to be re-charged on a regular basis. The time and distance covered by an electric scooter after every charging depends significantly on the type of battery and its capacity. There is no need to worry about the operation of these scooters as they are very easy. The Electric Scooters are generally equipped with advanced brake systems which make the stopping of these scooters very simple. These scooters also have parking brake which stops from rolling the vehicle when it is parked.

·Different types of Electric Scooters

There are different types of Electric Scooters or Mobility Scooters according to the various users needs. They are as follows:

1) Transportable or Foldable Mobility Scooters: As the name implies these scooters are easily foldable and ready to transport at any time. These type of scooters are perfect for people those who love traveling. These scooters can be disassembled into 3 or 4 pieces of light parts, according to the different scooter models, for easy transport in most cars trunks.

2) Three-Wheeled Electric Scooters or Mobility Scooters: The three- wheeled mobility scooters offer full-sized comfort and durability which is absolutely perfect for both indoor as well as outdoor use. These scooters have a maximum weight capacity of 300 to 500 lbs.

These types of scooters are mainly used for outdoor use. These scooters have bigger tires with wider base and can go as fast as 10 mph.

4) Heavy Duty Electric Scooters: These scooters are built for heavy people who weigh more than 350 pounds. These scooters come with both three and four-wheeled models and with the weight capacity up to 500 pounds.

One of the hardest things about growing older can be giving up your independence. As arthritis pain increases, you need a lot of help moving around, and so you may have to get a wheelchair. However, for people who live alone, a wheelchair is not a viable option since it requires someone else push it. After all, using your upper arms to pull the wheelchair can be just as painful as walking. There are also electric wheelchairs available, but many times these chairs are large and do not maneuver well.

For these reasons, more and more people with limited mobility are purchasing electric scooters. Electric mobility scooters are now capable of going up to twelve miles without being recharged, and many models are built primarily for outdoor use. Whereas when mobility scooters first came out they were large and cumbersome, they are now smaller and can be disassembled when not in use. They often have baskets on them that make grocery shopping easier, and some can be recharged without the person even having to get out of the chair. Some mobility chairs can even be described as stylish!

However, many older people do not consider buying an electric scooter because they may feel that a mobility scooter might cost a lot. What they often don’t realize is that Medicare will often pay for your mobility scooter. Basically any person who is largely immobile will easily qualify for a free scooter. You simply have to visit with your primary care doctor, who will write you a prescription for the chair. The doctor will write out a medical report, including the prescription, and will submit it to the store that you buy your mobility scooter from so that Medicare will be billed for it.

So when you are looking into purchasing a mobility scooter, be sure to consider the following questions. Will you be using the scooter mostly in your home, or outdoors? Scooters with three wheels are much easier to maneuver than those with four, and are better for use indoors. However, if you are going to mostly be using the scooter outdoors, you should get a scooter with four wheels, which are designed to be used almost anywhere.

Next, is the scooter comfortable? If you can, it is better to try out the chair in person before you buy it. Each scooter is controlled by a set of handlebars. How easy is it for you to maneuver the scooter? Most scooters these days have cushioned seats and head rests for added comfort, but you should try it out and see how comfortable it is to you. Also, some scooters have seats that are capable of swiveling by as much as 360 degrees, making it much easier for the scooter’s user to move around.

Electric mobility scooters have become a very popular way for older people to regain a large amount of their independence. Since these mobility scooters have become the primary mode of transportation for many people, you will definitely want to make sure that you find a chair you really like before you buy it.

We’ve seen them zooming down our neighborhood street, with their owners’ hair flapping wildly in the wind and their fat pocketbooks hanging out of their back pockets, mocking those of us with four wheeled vehicles. We’ve seen them in pictures of European countries, with little French men in their flashy helmets, maneuvering the streets of Paris. And yet we still think, there’s no way we could afford a scooter, Or can we?

An old tactic used in a new way will help you buy the cheap scooter you’ve been looking for. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that you saved up to 50 percent on your scooter once you’ve done the necessary leg work. The secret tactic is price comparison and patience. The internet makes this tactic more possible than ever. Here’s how to find the scooter of your dreams for the price in your head:

1) Start at Froogle.com. This is Google’s shopping search engine. Start by typing in “electric scooter,” “electric scooter sale,” or “electric scooter discount.” You should find an impressive number of scooter retailers as a result. Write down the best prices and deals.

2) Search Google. Run the exact same searches, but instead of just paying attention to your results, pay attention to the ads. Vendors pay tons of money to place their pay per click ads on the side of these pages. The ads pop up based on key words. Visit these sits and write down their best deals as well.

3) Utilize Yahoo.com. Run the same searches on Yahoo’s site, and you’ll be surprised by the different yields compared to Google. Pay attention to the Yahoo ads as well, because Yahoo owns Overture, which handles the whole pay per click business. Compare as many scooter companies as possible because, after all, more is better. Visit the sites and write down what you discover. You should have a lengthy list by now.

4) Visit Ebay. This online auction site will help you find the consumer price for scooters. Run a search both for “electric scooter” and “electric scooters” and write down your results. Watch the auctions for a week or so and write down the prices you see the scooters selling for. Also, consider using the “watch this auction” feature which will basically bookmark your selected auction.

5) Here’s where the patience comes in: wait two weeks, and then do this all over again. You will know a good price when you see one then, and then you can buy your scooter.

This method should yield a smarter, scooter owning you. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if you saved more than 50 percent on your new electric scooter. Don’t feel guilty about the savings either. You did the work, so you deserve the savings. Obviously more tricks to finding deals exist than this, but utilizing this old tact and new venue is at least a start to saving you money.

Scooters range in the mileage they can get depending on what type of scooter and the brand. You have electric scooters and gas powered scooters from many different companies. I am going to talk about the mileage and usage of the Razor Electric Scooters. There are a lot of different options with Razor electric scooters, like color speed, size, seat options, distance you can travel and more. In the Razor electric scooter line there are 3 main scooters and then variations of each. First you have the E100 series, next is the E200 and E200S, finally the E300 and E300S. All these scooters offer benefits to the rider that may be riding them. Some are better for beginner, some are better for those that want speed, and some are better for those that want comfort. Whatever the case may be there is a Razor electric scooter for pretty much anyone.

The E100 is the most simple of all the electric scooters from razor. It is the least expensive, lightest, comes in two colors, but does not have an option for a seat. The E100 comes in red and pink. It goes up to 10 mph and as far as the E100 mileage, its good. You can travel anywhere from 5 to 10 miles on one charge, often lasting up to 40 minutes of ride time. The mileage and speed is going to vary slightly depending on the weight and driving style of the operator.

The E200 is the second in Razors electric scooter line. The E200 gets a little bit better then the E100. First it has an option of a seat. That comes with the E200S. That way if you want to just cruise around you can sit down or stand up, whatever is most comfortable to you. The E200 travels up to 13 mph and can travel up to 10 miles per charge. The E200 can last up to 45 minutes per charge.

The E300 is the best electric scooter in the Razor line. The E300 also has a seat option available in the E300S. The E300 is the fastest and the best. It can travel more the 10 miles and up to 15 mph and more, with some riders, per charge. You can ride this scooter for nearly an hour per charge. Traveling 15 mph on a scooter is quite fast. Even though it may not seem like that is very fast, when you get the wind blowing in your face and your feet that close to the ground you may back off the throttle a little bit.

The Electric Razor Scooter line is top of the line and has options for everyone. If you are young or a beginner start with the E100 or E200. If you are looking for speed and distance the E300 is for you. If you would rather have the option of comfort and the ability to sit down then the E200S or the E300S are right for you. What ever the case may be these scooters are a blast to ride.

The versatility in the designing of electric scooters today means you are bound to find one you will love. There are so many styles; your scooter will become an extension of your own image, whether it be urban, retro, functional or cool. They are the most environmentally friendly personal means of transport on the market today.

Current Models

Electric scooters that are designed like motor bikes are highly sought after. Some go as fast as 35 mph with little effort, and you save a packet by not needing gasoline, services and expensive insurance. A particularly popular current day model is the eGo-2. A combination of chrome and color, headlights, blinkers and controls mean it’s a sight to be admired by all. This particular model accelerates up to 25mph. There is also a design called the Xootr which is more like an electric skateboard and doesn’t have the features, but is a lot less costly. It will accelerate to 10mph, and look just like a child’s push along scooter. Some new designs are very compact and can even be folded for storage in between trips.

You can buy pretty much any color electric scooters you can imagine, with helmets to match. You can have side mirrors that stick out like a Harley, some that ride low, some that ride high. You can double your friend and have room to lock and store both your helmets in the storage space. You can even have a stereo fitted and talk to each other between helmet intercoms. You may prefer one that looks like it’s straight out of the seventies, or a modern metallic design. The new creations will keep coming for some time as so many people everywhere are going crazy over electric scooters, wanting to save money and enjoy the ride as well.

Why Choose Electric Scooters?

The benefits to owning a scooter are clear. There is no money outlay for fuel, cheaper insurance, fun, environmentally friendly, easy to park and simple to maneuver. You just charge the battery and off you go, and you never have to stop and get gas. No worrying about traffic because you can ride around it, and simply recharge it between trips.

Those who own electric scooters are proud of their purchase, and they enjoy any opportunity to ride somewhere. Imagine going to work with no concerns about traffic or parking, as well as being out in the open air and fresh morning light – it would give anyone a nice start to their days. Electric scooters are a lifestyle choice you won’t regret, and you can be proud of not contributing to the environment dilemma our planet is experiencing today.

StraightBallin asked:


I have decided to buy a moped (or electric scooter) to use casually around my neighborhood (not for extremely long hauls).

Since I don’t know much about mopeds, the only place I went to was vespa.com. Most of their options are extremely expensive. I’m looking to spend no more than $1,000.

I’m looking for recommendations about obtaining one. Are their other good companies besides vespa? Are their moped/dealer shops that I could visit locally to actually see the different options.

Should I go and test drive one, like I do with cars? Or is this something I should simply buy online (and go that route).

Any other things I should be looking for?
