Lexola Gas Scooter - An Italian Legend


It's interesting to read about the new electric scooters on the market...

In fact, fascinating developments are happening. Take for example...
The new Lexola G400 <- see pic.
From: www.urbanmover.com/UMroad.htm

Modelled on Italian legends of the past millennium, but truly designed and created for the 21st century. The LEXOLA™ G100 is the road vehicle of choice for people who need to guarantee their arrival, whatever the weather - in a quiet, smooth, economical and ecologically sound manner.

Built and tested extensively over the past 12 months under the most gruelling conditions in our state of the art E-vehicle simulation lab (EVSL). This facility can test for most road conditions and speeds up to and beyond the design parameters of the vehicle, providing a unique challenge for Europe's most capable electric vehicles.


The LEXOLA™ G400 is the first of our new range of EV's to fully utilise these new facilities. Powered by the very latest 1500 watt integrated high torque rear hub motor, the G400 is capable of carrying two fully grown adults beyond 30mph/45kph up to a maximum range of 40m/60km. Mated with the latest anti-dive front suspension, front and rear disc brakes and independent rear struts, the G400 provides all the comfort, enjoyment and controllability that you will ever need.

Electric Scooters Comparison Chart


Came across this electric scooter comparison chart...

Interesting way to see what scooters are available, what styles are available, etc. Gives a good range from rad electric scooters to the newest cool thing...

www.neoscooters.com say:

"We publish the top speed and specs provided from the manufacturers. Not all mfgs. tell the truth about the speed of their electric scooters. As a result how fast you go on your scooter depends on rider weight, road conditions, tire pressure, and incline. All of these factor into actual top end speed of the electric scooters.

To view more details on any of the electric scooters, simply click on the electric scooter model name or scooter image to go to the product detail page. We are adding and changing our inventory of electric scooters all the time, and this comparison chart may not list every scooter we have available.

Scooters in chart listed by descending top rated speed. Prices subject to change - please see the actual product page for current pricing and any applicable sales..."


Oh yeah, the comparison chart...

Helping the environment

More green news about the Vetrix...
http://www.vectrixusa.com/scooter/environment.html

"...Transportation is the largest single source of air pollution in the world. Transportation related emissions are causing smoggy skies, dirty air, health hazards, and increasing demands upon our environment.

While gasoline powered motorcycles (including motorbikes, scooters, mopeds) account for a small % of vehicles in use, they are extremely polluting, producing a disproportionate amount of emissions and noise for their size. A typical motor scooter produces 3X the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions as a large diesel truck, and 8-10X as the average automobile.

With increasing environmental pressure, stricter regulations, depleting oil reserves, increasing oil prices, a desire to reduce dependency on imported fuels, and inner city congestion, governments, consumers and manufacturers are looking very closely at cleaner fuels and alternative energy sources.

From an environmental perspective, the best technologies are those that substantially reduce both carbon dioxide and smog-forming pollutants. Most experts agree that the technological key to delivering these benefits simultaneously is battery-powered, hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles.

The Vectrix scooter utilizes innovative zero-emission technology, offering customers a clean, affordable, and much needed alternative..."



Perfect... What the world has been waiting for... :-)

Why go electric?


But Why Go Electric?

In recent years, electric motor and battery technology has advanced tremendously. Today's LEVs (Light Electric Vehicles) have clear advantages over fossil fuel powered vehicles in the areas of performance, ease of use and operating costs...

Pollution Free If you drive a car the typical 12,000 miles a year, your vehicle annually leaves four-and-one-half metric tons of carbon in its wake. Because electric vehicles run on batteries and do not burn fossil fuels as their main system of propulsion, they provide the opportunity to reduce your personal environmental impact and improve local air quality.

Plenty of Torque With their sophisticated electronic controls, today's motors are more efficient and produce an abundance of torque even with very little throttle. A 1-horsepower electric motor has about the same torque as a 3 horsepower gasoline engine and the torque is immediate, on demand.

Quiet Power Electric motors are quiet and give you an entirely different feeling when riding. Many gas-powered personal vehicles are louder than lawn-mowers and riding them is banned in many neighborhoods. Quiet electric vehicles seem to glide down the road with ease and are welcomed in most communities.

Clean Machine There's no grease or oil to get to get your hands or clothes dirty. No foul exhaust or gasoline fumes and it never leaks oil. You can safely store an electric vehicle in your home or apartment.

Economic Ride Electric motors cost almost nothing to run. Instead of burning up expensive fossil fuels every trip, electric vehicles are recharged by plugging them into the wall sockets. Given the rising gas prices worldwide, going electric makes good financial sense.

Electric Scooters - Why?


Welcome to my blog on electric motor scooters. I feel compelled to let you know about the lifestyle benefits and advantages to electric scooters. I'll touch on a whole range of scooters - from cheap electric scooters to cool things like the razor electric scooter. And more. Stay tuned in...

Coolest Electric Motor Scooters Advantages...

The world of electric and gas powered scooters is a funk-a-delicious one. There's such a huge range of these creatures available to fulfill our needs, from recreational to practical - ride to work or ride to school?

Can you see your scooter future..?

Those who succeed always see their success months and years before they live it. They have the ability to look ahead, see the future, imagine the good that can and will come from their lives, families and work. To not have vision is a tremendous roadblock. Sit down and work on seeing the future - and make it good! (Chris Widener)

Are electric motor scooters our future?

Our future indeed! It's a natural evolution... The automobile is way too big for one person anyway! (Automobiles do, of course, have obvious advantages to long trips and carrying people - as you know).

The world is changing, bending towards a more sustainable, greener, healthier existence. It might not always seem like that, but changes are happening all the time. And making a difference can start with you, your actions and what means of transport you choose.

Total reliance on petroleum for the US transportation sector cannot be sustained this century... we must find other fuels. Governments and ultimately consumers are demanding cheaper and cleaner energy sources

Government officials, concerned citizens and environmentalists all over the world support Electric Vehicles because they can improve air quality, enhance national security and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The future is electric. Countries throughout the world recognize the need to move to alternative modes of transportation as limited natural resources grow scarcer. Governments also look to zero emission vehicles to combat pollution in their cities.
