Electric Scooters

Anyone have any of these? I've been thinking about investing in one for commuting.

I've been checking out the Xport SLX (aka HCF 707)...MAN! It's sweet!



This thing is supposed to be able to handle a 235lbs. monkey (like myself), even up hills!

You could try making your own out of a lead-acid battery and 2 600 size motors! Hehe, just a thought.

I thought that if u was to put an engine on that and a gearbox from a motor bike, that'd b a laugh!!!!

Or even get a petrol scooter (the proper road legal ones, like a gilera or something) and strip it down!

Well, the key factor in whatever Scooter I finally get is that is has to be foldable (to get on the train/bus).

The Xport so far seems to be the only scooter strong enough to handle a big fella (like myself) while still being foldable and therefore can be used for commuting.

Remember the japanese go-kart in a briefcase idea. They made a few prototypes, but they were AWESOME.

Here in Michigan to commute you MUST use a car, our cab's are far a few between and not hail=able from the street. We have no major bus line. No trains for inter-city travel. No Subway...but we are the motor city and murder capital!

Get a Go-Ped sport. You can mod the **** out of them! My friends tops at 45 mph. Pretty scary when you're goin that fast on 6 inch solid rubber tires. But you can get phnuematic (sp?) ones for a better ride. And just like you wanted, they fold for easier storage.

That Go-Ped Sport definitely looks like a little demon...But, it's gas and no seat.

I just need something that's:
- Portable (can't be so big that it won't be allowed on a Bus or Train)
- Electric (don't want to deal with gas)
- Can handle a 235lbs. person

Ya those little gas engines are loud as ****, specially with new air filters and new pipes. I know goped makes an electric scooter called a hover board cuz it rides so smooth supposedly, but I'm not sure if it has a seat. Get a Honda XR50!!! Tops at 40 mph, is very quite, and just like a motorcycle you sit on it. It's pretty sick, I got one that I race, but it's illegal onroad. Cops don't usually bother me if I'm in the bike lane tho.

Well, temptation got the best of me and I went ahead and bought the HCF-707.

Hmmmm, I wonder just how much voltage that little motor can handle!

Well, not a second 24v batt...But most likely another 12v batt with on-demand switch for that little 'AHHHHH' turbo!

Scooter came in today...DAMMMMNNN this thing is BIGGER than I thought it'd be!

And COOL as hell too!

I'm already breaking parts on it though! I bent this level (in half! ) when compressing it...
