More information relating to Electric Scooters, Bikes & Mopeds

Gas is costing a heap nowadays and it's only sensible that you want to reduce your carbon footprint without the expense of buying carbon credits. You are sick and tired of breathing polluted air and you want to do your bit without using public transport. Or perhaps it's just that you have heard that electric vehicles are fun to operate and you would like to own one.

So you start to check out what's available and how much they cost and you find it can be a bit daunting with all the brands and models available. Well, you have come to the right place where we will explore the wonderful world of Electric Scooters.

Nowadays, almost all Electric Scooters are manufactured in China and of course, we would love to have them made locally but it is just the way it is. It's the economics of the modern world with no trade barriers.

After we did our due diligence, TheBestElectricScooters aligned itself with X-Treme Scooters, a locally owned manufacturing and importing company based in Iowa. We find them to be a reputable company and excellent to deal with and their products are reliable and well priced. They oversee the design, manufacturing and quality control to ensure that we can supply you with a great product. They also handle all the warranty and they stock the spare parts and talking of spare parts, you will find they are really inexpensive – a pleasant surprise in this day and age.

LOOKING AT DEFINITIONS
Firstly, we'll look at the definitions of our vehicles. You can basically say that if you can use one foot to propel the vehicle, it's a Scooter (if that's true, then Fred Flintstone ran around in a 4-wheeled scooter!) while the definition of a Bicycle is that it has two wheels in tandem and has pedals. The definition of a Moped is that it is a motorised Bicycle with peddles.

These definitions are not set in concrete and we use the generic term "Scooter" for almost everything on our site – sorry! And we are really going to confuse you further with our category definitions. If it's based on a Scooter and it looks like a Scooter, then it's a Scooter. If it's got pedals, then it’s a Bicycle and if it's a bigger model without pedals and looking more like a motorbike, then we are going to call it a Moped.

To finish off, electric toys for your children are called Ride Ons, 4 wheeled bikes are called Quad Bikes or ATV's, miniature motor bikes are called Pocket Bikes or Mini Bikes and Sea Scooters are those devices you use in the water, usually when diving.

After all that, are you still confused? We hope not.

Now what we will do is look at your particular requirement and hopefully point you in the right direction to select the best scooter for youself.

A SPECIAL PRESENT?
You want to buy a special present for your young son or daughter, nephew or niece. For children under 8 years old, have a look at an Electric Ride On such as the XR-101 car or the XR-301 bike. They really are great fun for all the family!

SOMETHING FASTER?
Are they a little older? Then an Electric Scooter such as the X-010, X-140 and the X-250 would suit. Basic and low priced, these are a good way to introduce an electric vehicle to that special young person.

Are they in the age bracket of say 10 to 15 years old? You know what we mean.... "Ah, come on Mom. I can't go and meet my friends on a little kid's scooter. I need something with a bit of grunt!" Then have a look at the X-500 and the X-600. These are extremely popular as they have plenty of power and are virtually indestructible.

All our Ride On's and Scooters are very reasonably priced and they have FREE SHIPPING right to your door.

RUNNING AROUND CAMPUS?
You are at college and you want something economical to run around campus and over to your friend's house at weekends, then have a look at the X-360 Scooters. If you are looking for something a bit bigger, then check out the XB-500, XB-508 SPORT or the XB-600 Bicycles. These are very popular as they can do over 20 mph for up to 25 miles on a single charge, all with no licence required!

COMMUTING IN STYLE?
The X-140 and the X-250 Scooters are excellent for commuting if you have a backpack or carry bag. They are relatively light weight and are foldable and can be easily stowed away and without a gas tank, they can even be taken on the bus or the subway without a problem.

However, if you have a little more money, you may be looking for something bigger so the XB-500, the XB-508 SPORT or the XB-600 Elite would probably suit you. All priced at under $1,000, these bikes can do over 20 mph and will run for 25 miles for just a few cents. The other bonus is that no licence is required to operate them as they are regarded as "power assisted bicycles".

Now, if money is no object and you really want to commute in style, then have a look at the XB-700Li Elite. With its super light weight Lithium Ion batteries, it will carry you for around 35 miles at more than 20 mph and you still don't need a licence.

A LUXURY BIKE?

But if you really want to go all the way, then the XM-3500Li is for you with its regenerative braking, 75 miles range and a top speed of 63 mph powered by a bank of Lithium Ion batteries which can be recharged up to 2,000 times. It really is a luxury motor bike!

HUNTING & FISHING?
You just love to hunt and fish and it's wonderful to get away from the city into the wilderness for a weekend or more and you want a reliable form of transport that won't scare away every living thing for miles around. Something that is quiet with no smoke or fumes. Something that lets you be part of the wilderness. The XA-750 and XA-1000 ATV's (quad bikes) are the way to go!

INTO WATER SPORTS?
You are at the beach with all your gear. You have your board with you but with the wind direction today, the waves just aren't forming right, so you decide to do some snorkelling.

An economical way to add another product line to increase your bottom line is with the X-360. Colorful, easy to maintain, fun to ride and no licence required. Ask us for a special quantity price on this one.

EASY TRANSPORT WITH YOUR MOTOR HOME?
You have worked hard and retirement is already here. You decide to want to get away and become part of the "grey nomads" and you buy a wonderful camper trailer or a caravan or even a motor home! It's fun travelling together with your partner in your later years while you are both still active. You love the camaraderie when pulling into a trailer park in the evenings and having a sundowner with your new friends.

The next morning, you would like to see the area as you haven't been there before and your friends have said your must see this or that. How are you going to get around? This is where you slip out your X-250 (or X-500 or X-600) from the underneath compartment. Unfold the handlebars and pop in the seat and in a matter of minutes, you are off for a day's sight seeing around town.
