“I bought the Verde a local electric cars shop because I was looking for an affordable environmentally friendly commute option during the winter (when I prefer not to bike). At first it had problems because the motor controller would get wet on rainy days and short out. After a few trips back to the electric cars shop, the technicians managed to waterproof it and move the controller to an...” --dana1981
“I am single female with a 32lb dog that is my companion. If it was just me I would get one in a heart beat. I live and work in a about 10 mile radius so would be perfect. Not sure it could support my heavy body frame. For long distant travel I would rent a car. However, my pouch goes to doggy day care and I have to have a way to contain her as we travel together everywhere. The scooter...” --Nila
“I decided late last year I decided that I wanted to reduce my carbon footprint as much as possible, and despite owning a Toyota Prius realized that it was still the number one act I had control over that created pollution. So after months of debate I decided to swallow the $13,000+ cost of the only electric vehicle on the market that I thought could balance both performance and cost for my 30...” --smooredl
“Damn, the EVD can move. The manufacturer claims it gets 50 mph top speed and 50 miles per charge for $3600. Compare that to the ZAP Zapino at 30 mph and 30 miles/charge for $3400, or the Vectrix with 62 mph and 40 miles/charge for $11,000. 50 mph top speed - confirmed. 50 mile range - attainable if you go really, really slow. It would be more accurate to say the EVD has a 25-30 mile range in...” --dana1981
“When I was in the market for a scooter, if I could have afforded it I would have purchased the Zapino. The 3000W motor is the most powerful you can get on a moped of this class, and it has a range of about 30 miles with a top speed of 30 mph. Really a very cool scooter made by a reliable company.” --dana1981
“All:I took delivery of my new DOT approved GPR-S in November 2008. It's the AC version with 20, 50AH cells. I think it's the first registered in Texas and has the TAG "AC-001". I thought I would introduce it since there are no other owner reviews. The bike is about "250CC" size weighing in at 280 pounds. The frame is made by Tiger in Thailand (which also makes some Kawasaki frames). It comes...” --ChuckJ
“I bought 2 of the zappy pro units and they have performed well. The speed is okay and the balance is super. I would like to know more about how it runs to have someone help me change the gearing so it will climb hills. They need to sell more. It makes sense.” --calvols
“The main points are all hit. The style, performance, and affordability of these beauties are all definitely selling points -- affordable not just to purchase but to maintain, fuel, repair, and insure. Rental or home insurance will most likely cover this 49cc scooter for theft. In many states, as in KY, no insurance, registration, or license is required. The cons can be discouraging to those who...” --bluegrassgreen
“I've never owned or even seen an X-Treme scooter, but in the process of researching electric mopeds prior to purchasing one, I read a lot of really bad reviews of the X-Treme line of products. Basically they're appealing because they're cheap, but they're cheap for a reason. They tend to break fairly easily, and service and maintenance are very difficult to obtain. I...” --dana1981
