<br />
Thanks for visiting our forum. We have no problem if you include a link in your signature (attached below each post and added in your profile section), but we won't accept blatant advertisements to your website(s) within posts. If you're just looking for feedback about conversion kits, there should be no need for these links (so they've been removed).<br />
<br />
If you're actually looking for some feedback, here are some suggestions I have when it comes to <a href="http://www.eco-wheelz.com/catalog/bicycle-conversion-kits-c-54.php">e-bike conversion kits</a>:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Customers want something that is easy-to-install and reliable. This is also true for potential dealers.</li>
<li>A decent warranty (of at least 1-year) will provide confidence, but there needs to be good support to assist customers (and dealers).</li>
<li>People like options. So having multiple throttle choices is good. But when comparing conversion kits to <a href="http://www.eco-wheelz.com/catalog/electric-bikes-c-1.php">pre-built e-bikes</a>, most customers prefer the option for a throttle-control and pedal-assist (both are available on most prebuilt e-bikes). If you can get PAS sensors added to your kit (or available as an option), it would provide more choices for customers.</li>
<li>HIGH-END CONNECTORS! Most cheap Chinese kits have low-end connectors that break, melt or come apart after regular use. This is a huge headache for customers and dealers who have to troubleshoot all the issues.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Anyways... hopefully that helps. Good luck on your venture!</description>

<description><p>Hi, I&#039;m Doug Synder from San Fransisco. I&#039;ve been interested in electric bicycles for a long time and promoting their use around our country and the world, it&#039;s the best way I know of to reduce impacts from fossil fuel burning. I&#039;ve now started importing electric bicycle items for resale in the USA and have chosen to focus largely on getting a suitable range of electric bicycle conversion kits, have made a few sales but it&#039;s very early days at the moment. I&#039;ve linked up with the Solar Bike team in Australia to fast track getting a decent product and also because I like their renewable energy take on things but I&#039;ll also be looking at getting other kits specific to the market base over here. If anyone has any information they can share on what they&#039;d like in an electric bicycle conversion kit or is interested in getting one themselves then please let me know so I can take everything into consideration. I would be very happy for any advice for this enterprise. Thanks in Advance, Doug.

<description><h2 style="margin:0;">Review of the IZIP E3 Metro Electric Bike</h2>
<div style="margin-bottom:-4px;"><i> Provided by Pete Prebus from <a href="http://electricbikereport.com/electric-bike-review-izip-e3-metro/" target="blank">ElectricBikeReport.com</a></i></div> <br />
<img src="http://electricbikereport.mountainbikeridi.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_0388-300x224.jpg" alt="IZIP E3 Metro Electric Bike" width="300" height="223" border="0" align="left" style="margin-right:15px;" />After many miles and cargo carrying trips I have prepared the <a href="http://www.eco-wheelz.com/catalog/izip-e3-metro-electric-bike-p-288.php">IZIP Metro electric bike</a> review for you! This bike was designed to carry your stuff easily over hills and through the headwinds to let you enjoy the ride. This review will show you how this bike performed and if it is a fit for you.<br />
<br />
Here is a little more info on the different assistance options: pedal assist and throttle or just throttle.  Currie Technologies explains it this way:<br />
<br />
“PAS/TAG+ introduces cadence-sensitive pedal assist technology.  When you pedal in PAS mode this system senses your cadence and intelligently adjusts motor power to match.  Select between three levels of power assist using a handlebar-mounted button.  If you need even more boost regardless of setting or speed, just twist the throttle and override the system to max power.  If you want to forget pedaling entirely, change to TAG mode and use the throttle alone for regulating speed and power.”<br />
<br />
Just a note on the PAS/TAG+: to get the boost to max power you can turn the throttle but you will need to continue to pedal.<br />
<br />
<strong>What to Expect From This Bike</strong> <br />
<br />
One of my goals in these <a href="http://www.eco-wheelz.com/forum/tags/bike-reviews">electric bike reviews</a> is to give you “real world” information on these bikes.  Here is what you can expect from the IZIP Metro:<br />
<img src="http://electricbikereport.mountainbikeridi.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_0415-200x300.png" alt="Test Results" width="200" height="300" align="left" style="margin:20px 15px 0 0;" /><br />
<strong>Range</strong>: I tested the Metro over a very hilly course with very light pedaling and set the assist level to “High” so this would give you an idea of the worst case range or mileage.  You can see that I got 17.3 miles and I want to include that it was relatively cold when I was doing these tests (40-50F) which reduces the range of the battery.<br />
<br />
Considering that I climbed over 2500 ft of elevation, pedaled very lightly, I weight 190 lbs, and the bike was being tested in relatively cold conditions it seems to match Currie Technologies range of 20-35 miles depending on conditions.<br />
<br />
<strong>Speed</strong>: The Metro cruises comfortably at 20 mph on level to somewhat hilly terrain using the throttle or high PAS setting.  As the battery runs out of juice it dips a little below 20 mph.<br />
<br />
A note on the pedal assist settings: The low setting will give you electric assist up to 7-8 mph, the medium setting will help up to 11-12 mph and the high setting gets you up to 20 mph.  These lower assist settings work well when you are in a crowded area and you don’t want all the power of the high setting.<br />
<br />
<strong>Weight</strong>:  This bike tipped the scales at 59 lbs, pretty average for a bike of this style.  And as you can imagine pedaling this bike without electric assistance is a good workout!<br />
<br />
<h3><u>IZIP E3 Metro Pros</u><u></u></h3>
<br />
<strong>Carrying Cargo</strong><br />
<img src="http://electricbikereport.mountainbikeridi.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_0110-300x224.jpg" alt="IZIP E3 Metro Basket" width="300" height="224" align="left" style="margin:10px 15px 0 0;" />The IZIP Metro front cargo rack can carry a lot. First of all this is a nice electric bike that can carry some cargo which makes it a practical car alternative for some trips around town.  I like the way that Currie Technologies has set this bike up with the solid front rack and integrate rear rack that is welded to the frame.<br />
<br />
I was able to carry 2 bags of groceries in the front rack with no problems.  I took it easy on the bumps with the groceries but the relatively high sides on the front cargo rack kept the bags contained well.  The front rack does have a weight limit of 20 lbs and is not designed to carry people or pets (yikes!).<br />
<br />
Both the front and rear racks have a bamboo style wood deck to add some style and a nice flat platform to carry bags or other goods.<br />
<br />
<strong>Power to Move the Cargo</strong><br />
Currie Technologies did a good job when they selected the motor to move this electric bike and cargo.  They choose a 500 watt geared hub motor and it is definitely torquey!  I was easily able to sit back and let the bike carry my cargo and I up many hills at 15-16 mph (the bike cruises comfortably at 20 mph on flat ground).  This bike never faltered on any of the steep grades (10% +) that I tested it on.<br />
<br />
<strong>Stop on a Dime!</strong><br />
I am a big fan of disc brakes and the Avid BB5 mechanical disc brakes worked very well on the Metro.  The brakes offer good stopping power for the extra cargo weight and they modulate well so you can ease into a stop or slam on the brakes if you need to.  I have used Avid disc brakes on my mountain bikes and they can take many years of rough riding.<br />
<br />
<strong>Nice Battery &#038; Placement</strong><br />
<img src="http://electricbikereport.mountainbikeridi.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_0118-300x224.jpg" alt="Battery Downtube" width="300" height="224" align="left" style="margin:10px 15px 0 0;" />The Metro uses a 36 Volt 10ah Lithium ion battery pack that is “hidden” in the downtube of the bike.  Lithium ion batteries are the way to go to minimize the weight and size of the battery compared to lead acid batteries.  They also have a longer overall life span so even though they are more expensive up front, you may get more value in the long run.<br />
<br />
Currie Technologies has a number of e-bike models that use the downtube to house the battery pack.  This is a great location because it places the weight of the battery in a low, centered position which makes the bike handle well.  Considering that you may have cargo on the front and rear racks, the battery placement is ideal to balance the bikes weight.<br />
<br />
<strong>Cool Looking E-Bike!</strong><br />
During my time riding this bike around town I had many people tell me they really liked the colors of this bike.  It is also very visible with the orange rims and safety is super important!<br />
<br />
<strong>Solid Frame Construction</strong><br />
The construction quality of the frame seems to be very good.  All of the welds look good and the frame is reinforced with additional gussets to make it sturdy for the long haul.  The racks have solid attachment to the frame as shown in these pictures and video.<br />
<br />
<strong>Comfortable Ride</strong><br />
<img src="http://electricbikereport.mountainbikeridi.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_0120-300x224.jpg" alt="Comfortable Ride" width="300" height="224" align="left" style="margin:10px 15px 0 0;" />The IZIP Metro is a comfortable electric bike to ride!  The high rise handlebars, wide seat, suspension seatpost, and wide tires make this bike easy to get on and enjoy the ride.  It feels like a bike that would work well for almost anyone.  The frame that I tested is the triangle frame and they also make the step thru frame which is easier to get on and off.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Sturdy Components</strong><br />
The wheels, tires, drivetrain (chainrings, cogs, chain, derailleur, etc.), brakes, etc. are good quality and will most likely hold up to many miles of riding.<br />
<br />
<u>Nice Bonus</u>: The Metro comes with Slime tubes installed already!  Slime?  In case you don’t know Slime tubes have “slime” in them that can seal the tube when there has been a small puncture from glass, a tack, cactus needle, etc.  Slime tubes are a great way to reduce flat tires and I used them in my bikes.  It is cool to see these as a stock item on the Metro.<br />
<br />
<h3><u>IZIP E3 Metro Cons</u></h3>
<br />
<strong>The Display</strong><br />
<img src="http://electricbikereport.mountainbikeridi.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_0112-300x224.jpg" alt="IZIP Metro Display" width="300" height="224" align="left" style="margin:10px 15px 0 0;" />The display seemed to be slightly lower quality than the rest of the bike and because this is something that you use and look at a lot it would be nice to see this improved.  Since this wasn’t a long term test it is hard for me to really comment on its overall durability.<br />
<br />
<strong>The PAS Could be Smoother</strong><br />
The power assist is activated by a sensor near the cranks of the bike and it can tell when you are pedaling and when you are not.  I found that there is a little delay when you start pedaling and when the assistance kicks in.  Likewise when you stop pedaling there is a little delay in the assistance shutting off.  This can be a little weird but when you grab the brakes the system shuts off.  If you are like me and you “soft pedal” to shift gears before you stop the assistance will keep going.<br />
<br />
This is a personal preference based on my riding style and it will be up to you to determine if it works for you.  I talked with Larry Pizzi, the President of Currie Technologies and he explained how people generally ride with their pedal (PAS) and throttle (TAG) assist setting:<br />
<br />
<i>“We find that as riders get familiar with the bike with this dual functionality PAS/TAG, they ride in TAG mode until they get on a long, open stretch where they don’t want to hold open the throttle and switch to PAS which is then used like cruise control.”</i><br />
<br />
<strong>The Motor is Not Silent</strong><br />
The geared hub motor that the IZIP Metro uses is not totally silent because the gears inside make noise.  This is true of most, if not all, geared hub motors.  It is not obnoxious but you can hear it when you are riding.<br />
<br />
If you are looking for a motor that is silent you should look for a direct drive type motor.  I also talked with Mr. Pizzi about this and here are his thoughts on the geared motor:<br />
<br />
<i>“We have tested almost all of the comparable direct drive motors and have found that this geared motor gives us much better torque and range.”</i><br />
<br />
<strong>Battery is Not Easily Removable</strong><br />
<img src="http://electricbikereport.mountainbikeridi.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_01211-300x224.jpg" alt="Battery Cap" width="300" height="224" align="left" style="margin:10px 15px 0 0;" />In order to remove the battery you would need to unbolt the bottom of the cap on the downtube near the cranks.  Other bikes and e-bike systems have a quick release system that allows you to take the battery with you when you are at the office or at home to easily plug into the charger.<br />
<br />
<u>Random Thoughts</u>: The IZIP Metro that I tested was an earlier version of this bike and the rack had oversized tubing that makes it hard to use traditional bike bags/panniers with.  Currie informed me that the new Metro’s rear racks have been adjusted to allow the use of traditional bike bags and the rack has been shifted back a little to provide more clearance between a bike bag and the riders foot at the back of the pedal stroke.<br />
<br />
Delivery by electric bike is becoming more popular and there is a company in LA called Fresh Food Bike that uses the Metro for food delivery from Whole Food Markets to peoples houses or events.  Cool idea!<br />
<br />
<strong>Conclusion</strong><br />
Overall I give the IZIP Metro electric bike a thumbs up.  It has a lot of nice features compared to <a href="http://www.eco-wheelz.com">other electric bikes</a> and it can carry a lot of cargo without getting bogged down.  The price point of $2,499 seems about right considering the sturdy frame, front &#038; rear racks, and overall electric &#038; bicycle component package.<br />
<br />
There are some areas where this bike could be improved upon but I don’t think they are a deal breaker.  Mainly, I would like to see a smoother pedal assist, but that is my personal preference.  You may find that using the throttle for stop &#038; go riding while using the pedal assist for cruising works well.<br />
<br />
Also, please keep in mind that this is a relatively short term test.  This testing can’t really give you the long term review of durability and reliability.  My thoughts on the quality of this bike are from previous experiences with similar bikes.  If you own this bike and have some input on the long term durability, please share your comments below.<br />

<description>Thanks for visiting our website!<br />
<br />
Just because the battery tests at 24V, doesn't mean it's a good battery. Actually, it should test over 24V (around 26V). <br />
<br />
The normal life of these batteries is 1-2 years. If the scooter is 17 months old, it's probably about time to replace them. There's nothing else in the system that would cause these problems. When a scooter works -- and then dies quickly -- it's almost certainly weak batteries. If there was a problem elsewhere in the system, it wouldn't work at all -- or it would cut in-and-out.<br />
<br />
More than likely you need a new battery for the scooter. The cheapest way is to buy two 12V/12AH batteries, unplug the old cells (in the canvas case) and plug in the new ones. You'll need two cells like these: <br />

<description><p>My son has an eZip 750 that worked fine until recently.  It is about 17 months old.  Recently, he started complaining about a loss of power after a full charge and then riding a very short distance.  I&#039;ve tried some of the troubleshooting mentioned in other posts but have not been able to narrow down the problem.  The battery tests out at 24v consistently.  I&#039;ve also tested at other points around the controller, still at 24v.  I do notice, however, that if I test after the throttle, I start around 8v and then get to about 22v at full throttle?  How much voltage is needed to at least turn the wheel?  Shouldn&#039;t it at least turn, just not as fast, at 22v?  If I connect the battery directly to the motor, shouldn&#039;t it run?  Strange thing is, sometimes it runs fast, and other times, slower, then sometimes not at all.  I have tried with the brake cable disconnected.  It seems to be no different.  I&#039;m hoping to narrow it down instead of purchasing a battery, controller, and throttle, altogether.  Any advice is appreciated.  Thank you!

<description><p>Thanks Jeremy.I had that other question earlier. Do you know if why some scooter places (atleast a couple) told me that the Seat Kit is discontinued? I called CURRIE Technologies (the makers of EZIP) &#38; they said it is NOT. Just wanting to make sure nothing is wrong with them if I ordered it. THANKS

<description><p>Sorry... very busy at the shop on Fri and Sat!</p>
<p>I&#039;ll try to get that quote later this afternoon. As far as charging your scooter, it&#039;s a good idea to throw it on the charger anytime you ride it -- but I wouldn&#039;t say it&#039;s necessary if you only ride 10-15 mintutes. Either way, it&#039;s definitely better for the battery life to have it fully topped-off as much as possible.</p>
<p>When the charger turns GREEN, it&#039;s finished. So if you only go for a short ride, it will top-off pretty quickly ;)

<description><p>Last thing is that, whenever I ride my Scooter, it&#039;s just for a few minutes like total of 15 mins. So the Light stays in &#34;Full&#34; charge after use. It says in the manual to charge after every ride. I&#039;ve gone one day without charging because I only went out for a few minutes (10 mins) &#38; was still in full. I just want to confirm that as soon as the Charger turns green (even only after 15-20 mins) I can go ahead and unplug it?<br />
It does stay RED when charging then changes to Green.  So I&#039;m thinking because I don&#039;t use it much per ride, the battery charges fast because it&#039;s still almost full.  I just want to make sure I&#039;m doing the right thing about amount charging times.  Thanks

<description><p>Also, Jeremy a couple parts store told me the Ezip Seat Kit is Discontinued. I spoke to someone from Currie Technologies (makers of the Ezip) as you know, said that they are NOT discontinued. I just wonder why these other places say that - Just worried that something is wrong with them? Please let me know before I buy it. So, just waiting for your email reply to see if you can ship to FPO AP address. Another company told me they would for $12 by ElectricScooterParts.com (link below). I really want to buy from you because it is cheaper like you said. Thank you again!  You&#039;ve been loads of help! </p>

<description><p>Evie,</p>
<p>Normally we don&#039;t ship to FPO AP addresses. Since the bikes and scooters we sell come in such large boxes, it ends up being EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE.</p>
<p>But since the basket kit you&#039;re interested in doesn&#039;t come in a huge box, it might be worthwhile to ship. If you email me the address, I can get a shipping quote tomorrow when I&#039;m back in the shop. Shoot me an email at jeremy(at)eco-wheelz.com with your shipping address and I&#039;ll get back to you ;)

<description><p>Hi Jeremy, Awesome that you do sell for cheaper. Thanks! That is great that the basket won&#039;t touch the deck. I&#039;ll take your word. I saw a youtube video called THE EZIP &#38; the basket did not touch the deck. That is what I want, I figure it is the Ezip (Currie Brand - like what I want &#38; you carry also). Anyway, The photo from Ezip USA looks like it&#039;s touching the deck,  I guess it&#039;s almost on the deck but not really. See link below.<br />
What I meant by a soft basket is something that won&#039;t scratch a deck like made of Nylon or Cloth. It was because when I had a traditional metal mesh basket (I use for my bicycle also), when on the Ezip deck (behind the seat), the bottom of the metal basket had sharp areas all over &#38; scratched off the design on the deck. Lastly, I&#039;d like to order the basket and seat from your company, But do you ship to an FPO/APO AP address? Thanks Again. </p>

<description>Hi Evie! We also sell the seat kit you're referring to ($10 less):<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.eco-wheelz.com/catalog/ezip-scooter-seat-basket-kit-p-286.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.eco-wheelz.com/catalog/ezip-scooter-seat-basket-kit-p-286.php</a><br />
<br />
To remove your old seat, look underneath the deck (where the seat post drops down and enters the frame). On the left side, you'll see a clamp with an exposed allen head screw. Just loosen this up, and it will allow you to remove the seat post (with seat).<br />
<br />
When you add the new one, it just drops into the same mount as the original -- and you re-tighten the screw. The seat height is adjustable, so I don't think you should have any problems with height. It can drop lower (or higher) than the original.<br />
<br />
Not sure what you mean by a "soft black basket". The seat kit (above) comes with a basket and it attaches to the seat post. It shouldn't touch the deck of your scooter at all.<br />
<br />
It's possible to replace the power button with a keyswitch, but it won't mount nicely into the frame like the button. EZIP doesn' offer this option, so basically you'd be hardwiring an aftermarket keyswitch in. Not sure how well it would work...<br />
<br />
Anyways... hopefully that answers some of your questions...<br />
<br />
 Thanks for stopping back to our website :) :) :)</description>

<description><p>Hi Jeremy. Me again ;) I was thinking of making my seat higher. I&#039;m 5&#039;3. Currie sells the &#34;Plug &#38; Play&#34; ($59.99). Click link below to see. My questions are as follows:</p>
<p>1) How do I remove the old seat &#38; install new seat? By looking at it, the part that attached the seat looks like a washer screw. With my height, if I replace with taller seat from Currie - I want to still be able to flat foot it for control of the scooter incase I need to get balance. Do you recommend I get a taller seat? </p>
<p>2) Is there a soft black basket that you can use for the scooter? I used a standard Bike Black metal mesh one &#38; the bottom scratched &#38; peeled off the design on my scooter (behind the seat - where you sit the basket). Can you recommend a place or website to order it from? </p>
<p>3) Is there a way to replace the power button with a key (like the ignition on car?). If so, is it easy to do by myself and where can I get it? </p>
<p><a href="http://www.ezipusa.com/180-ezip-plug-and-play-scooter-seat-kit.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ezipusa.com/180-ezip-plug-and-play-scooter-seat-kit.html</a><br />

<description><b>Custom Hub Motor Wheel Building</b><br />
<br />
We don't do custom wheel building at our shop since most customers use the standard wheel included with all of our <a href="http://www.eco-wheelz.com/catalog/bicycle-conversion-kits-c-54.php">conversion kits</a>. But a custom wheel may be required for certain types of bikes, or if you're looking for a higher quality wheel than the one include with your kit. Eventually, you may even damage or destroy your wheel and need a new one. <br />
<br />
We may offer this service in the future, but for now, I found this great video put together by <i>Ypedal</i> from the <a href="http://endless-sphere.com/forums/" target="blank"><i>Endless Sphere Forums</i></a> showing how to build a custom wheel:<br />

<description><p>Joe,</p>
<p>Thanks for visiting our website!</p>
<p>People convert Electra Townie&#039;s all the time. This is actually a very popular bike for converting because of it&#039;s comfortable, upright seating. One of our customers did this conversion a few years ago:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.eco-wheelz.com/forum/electric-bike-kits/electra-townie-e-bike-conversion" rel="nofollow">http://www.eco-wheelz.com/forum/electric-bike-kits/electra-townie-e-bike-conversion</a></p>
<p>I don&#039;t forsee any problems with a front hub motor on your bike (as long as the aftermarket front fork is made of steel). Take a magnet to ensure it sticks. If so, it should be fine.</p>
<p>I&#039;m assuming when you say &#34;back peddle&#34; brakes you&#039;re referring to coaster brakes. This shouldn&#039;t be a problem, but coaster brakes aren&#039;t exactly the best for stopping a fast moving bike at 20+ mph. You&#039;ll need to try it out and see if you feel comfortable. You might eventually want to upgrade to a front and rear V / Caliper brakes.

<description><p>I have an electra townie with 26&#039; wheels. As you know these are good for people with back problems. I am looking for a front wheel kit. I have back peddle brakes and front pad brakes. The tires are ballon. The dealer added an aftermarket front fork. At the time electra didn&#039;t make any suspension forks. Do you see any problems if I install a front hub kit?

<description><b>New 2012 Stromer Electric Bikes</b><br />
<br />
We recieved our first shipment of <a href="http://www.eco-wheelz.com/catalog/stromer-electric-bikes-c-1_64.php">2012 Stromer electric bikes</a> this week. There have been lots of nice additions this year, including:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Digital LED Dislay - Shows mode, battery life, speed, distance, etc.</li>
<li>Regenerative Braking - Recharges battery whenever you brake or when manually switched to 'recoup' mode</li>
<li>Better Disc Brakes - The standard model includes Avid BB7s, the elite includes Tektro Auriga Hydraulic disc brakes</li>
</ul>
<br />
In addition to the <a href="http://www.eco-wheelz.com/catalog/stromer-electric-bike-p-303.php">standard Stromer</a>, there's also an <a href="http://www.eco-wheelz.com/catalog/stromer-elite-electric-bike-p-332.php">Elite version</a> available, which includes even higher-end componentry than the standard, such as: 27-speeds (vs. eight), Shimano Deore and 105 derailleurs (vs. Shimano Alivio derailer) and Tektro Auriga Hydraulic disc brakes (vs. Avid BB7 mechanical disc brakes). <br />

<br />
After just a few short test-rides, I must admit... I was definitely impressed! We're proud to recommend the other models we carry, but there's an obvious difference between Stromer and every other e-bike on the market. They're solid, sturdy and very stable. And with some noticable fine-tuning to the electronics this year, they're extremely responsive. The pedal-assist is so smooth and powerful -- you feel like Superman on this bike! And even though the $3400+ price tag may seem high, the quality is unmatched -- and the ride is amazing!<br />
<br />
I'll put a more detailed review together shortly, but for now, I wanted to share some photos and my initial thoughts on the new 2012 Stromer models.</description>

<description><p>36V Li-Ion battery, 250W brushless rear hub motor, thumb throttle and 3-setting PAS system. Sounds like retail price will be around $1200. Exact pricing should be available within the next few weeks. This is going to be a HOT SELLER!

<description><p>Hi,<br />
Is there a way to charge the battery separate from the scooter? I&#039;d like to lock up the scooter at work in the bike-cage, but will need to charge the battery in my office.<br />
Thanks - Maureen
