Fast Electric
Scooters
Fast Electric Scooters are a popular
source of interest among new buyers. These people want to
know what are the fast electric scooters so that they can
see if they could make the switch to an electric scooter.
The good news is speeds of scooters are increasing. Where
only a few years ago a top speed for a scooter was 20 to 25
miles per hour, we have now seen a numbers of scooters pus
the envelope. I currently define fast electric scooters as
scooters that have a top speed of 30mph or faster. Here, is
a list of some scooters that meet this
threshold:
Zapino Electric
Scooter
The Zapino electric scooter is made by ZAP
has received rave reviews from customers. It retails at about
$3,500, but the customers have been impressed with its
design. It has
very stylish look that come in a number of different
colors. Also,
its performance numbers are very nice. It has a top speed of
30mph and has a traveling range of 30 miles before another
charge is needed. This is a great
combination for an electric scooter.
EVT America R20
Scooter
This very hip scooter has some even
better performance numbers than the Zapino. It has top speed of up
to 45mph and has a traveling range of 30 to
45miles. The
retail price of these beauties are $2,500 a
piece. This
is great news for scooter enthusiasts.
Electric XM-3000
Deluxe
The Electric XM-3000 Deluxe is near
scooter than came out earlier this year. These electric scooters
can have a general top speed of 40 to 50mph. They also have a traveling
range of up to 50 miles. It will generally cost
about $2500.
Electric XM- 3500 Li
Luxury
This electric scooter performs even better
than the Electric XM-3000 Deluxe. This scooter can reach a
top speed of 55mph and has a traveling range of up to 80
miles. These
numbers are quite impressive. To buy this scooter, it
retails for $4,500.
Vectrix Electric
Scooter
It
has a top speed of 62mph and has a battery range of 70
miles. The
Vectrix Electric Scooter is the new heavyweight electric
scooter in terms of speed. At speeds of up to 62mph,
it is probably the fastest electric scooter on the
market. Plus,
it has excellent acceleration reaching 0 to 50 in just under
7 seconds. In
addition, it has a very sleek and stylish design that has
made it a hit at promotional shows. It currently retails for
$11,000.
Vespa Powascooter
PS168
This is Vespa’s answer for the electric
scooter.
Obviously, Vespa is well known for making high quality
scooters and the Vespa Powascooter PS168 seems to fall in
line with this tradition. Early reviews of this
scooter are positive. The reason is it can go up
to 30 miles per hour and has a fairly good traveling range
of 20 to 25 miles before another charge up. Currently, it is being
sold mainly in Great Britain and Australia, but some other
places have it as well. The price range for this
scooter is roughly $3,000 to
$3,500.
This list is by no means exhaustive;
however, it does give you some indication of what is
available at this speed range. Although speed should never
be the only factor you consider when buying a gas or
electric scooter, there is no denying the appeal of fast electric
scooters.
