Go-Ped ESR750EX Electric Powered City Scooter (Multiple Colors) Review

Go-Ped ESR750EX Electric Powered City Scooter (Multiple Colors) Feature

• New 2008 model with higher efficiency motor giving you even more range.

Whether you're looking for a more energy-efficient way to cruise the neighborhood or you just love yourself a little scooter style, the Go-Ped ESR750EX electric scooter is an ideal choice. The 2008 version of the city scooter includes a host of improvements over earlier incarnations, including an innovative self-adjusting chain tensioner, significantly thicker and more powerful rare Earth magnets, and a higher rpm operation to improve efficiency. Add these improvements to the original design--which won the 2004 Electric Scooter of the Year award from Electric Scooter World--and you have a terrific long-range scooter for both adults and kids.

The scooter owes its powerful performance to its ESR engine, which is equipped with a robust and well-proven DC brush-type motor with an "Electro Head" finned heat sink. The motor is capable of producing more than 1 horsepower in continuous operation and reaching top speeds of more than 20 miles per hour (in Turbo mode), with thrilling levels of acceleration. The high output also helps the scooter tackle steep hills with ease--a rarity among many electric scooters. The auto-adjusting chain tensioner, meanwhile, incorporates a longer, spring-loaded slot with consistent yet gentle slack elimination to effortlessly stop chain derailments. In the process, the chain adjuster accommodates greater chain "slactitudes" commonly found with various sprocket combinations and changing chain conditions.

From a purely functional perspective, the ESR750EX offers two performance modes and an electronic controller. The rider can choose the Econo mode to go twice as far, half as fast (12 miles per hour), or select the Turbo mode to reach speeds of 20-plus miles per hour. The Turbo mode offers a range of roughly eight miles per charge, while the Econo mode checks in at roughly 12-plus miles. Once you arrive at your destination, simply plug the scooter into any 110-volt or 220-volt household power outlet and its onboard "smart charger" will take over. The ESR750EX is also equipped with a computerized, programmable variable-speed controller. With a wide variety of EPROM (Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory) functions, the controller gives the user the freedom to do not only onboard diagnostics, but also customize performance.

Other features include an aircraft-quality Chromyl frame, a patented cantilevered Chromyl fork, pneumatic 10-inch TT tires, magnesium rims, and a Mad Dog disc braking system. And at only 59 pounds, the ESR750EX still offers the best range-to-weight ratio of any electric scooter in the world. Equipped with a folding frame for easy transport and storage, the ESR750EX measures 48 by 41 by 18 inches (W x H x D) and offers a weight capacity of 400 pounds.
