GoPed raises the bar of its own high quality and design standards with the zero-emission GoPed ESR750H Hoverboard electric scooter. Based on the highly regarded, time-tested, and award-winning ESR750EX scooter but also incorporating the company's Cantilevered Independent Dynamic Linkless Indespension (CIDLI) suspension system, the two-wheeled marvel quietly, efficiently, and effortlessly propels riders across the toughest terrain. The degradation of urban streets, the rough nature of country roads, and pretty much everything in-between are practically unnoticeable as you float by on your energy-saving scooter.
ESR750H offers two performance modes and an electronic controller. |
The ESR750H Hoverboard also offers 2.7 inches of suspension travel in the front and 3.5 inches of suspension travel in the rear, with adjustable settings--from "plush" to "firm"--that help you find the perfect balance to suit rider preferences. The stylish front and rear fenders, meanwhile, help protect both the rider and the Hoverboard in the event of foul weather. And riders will love the Mad Dog front disc brake, with an anti-dive that produces secure and reliable stopping power.
Electric Motor and Chain Tensioner
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.
Performance
From a purely functional perspective, the ESR750H 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 ESR750H 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 a Flux-Capacitor throttle/energy monitor that discloses your charge status; an aircraft-quality Chromyl frame, a patented cantilevered Chromyl fork, pneumatic 10-inch TT tires, a motorcycle "Harley look" injection molded fender, and such optional accessories as a detachable seat, luggage rack, carrying bag, and rear brake (all sold separately). And at only 62 pounds, the ESR750H still offers a superior range-to-weight ratio compared to other electric scooters. Equipped with a folding frame for easy transport and storage, the ESR750H measures 48 by 41 by 18 inches (W x H x D) and offers a weight capacity of 250 pounds.
