OK so i bought an electric moped about 6 months ago and about 2 months ago it seemed like the battery seized i was going down a hill and when i hit my brakes it seemed like the battery died the head lights dimmed and when i pushed it home it seemed like the wheels were resisting and almost didnt want to rotate.. i got it home and plugged it in to charge when i did so it just made the bike shake a little and made a buzzing sound but in a buzz buzz buzz pattern not just a constant sound any suggestions on how to maybe fix it would be GREAT please help

Unfortunately the X-Treme scooters have a reputation for breaking down pretty frequently. If yours came with a warranty, contact the seller and ask them to get it fixed. If it's not under warranty, you'll have to try and find a nearby shop that can fix it. A shop that sells electric cars and/or scooters should be able to help. Check out EVfinder to see if you can find a nearby shop.

I work at the United States Post Office and deliver mail to about 50 mailboxes a day on average. The mail route is about 72 miles a day total. Since I am only a part-time employee at the post office, they don't pay for my gas, thus, I end up spending about $200-$270 a month on it. I was seriously considering buying an electric moped scooter or something of the sort. However, how long can they go for before they need to be charged up again? Would the moped handle going about 72 miles Tuesday - Friday? Also, I deliver in a place with winding roads and two very steep hills, would it be able to go up them?

72 miles is beyond the range of the electric bikes currently available.

Is there any electric moped/bike/scooter that meets the specifications?

Seats: 2 people
Max Load: 250-300lbs
Speed: Less than or equal to 35mph. (don't want to go that fast, but enough so that 2 people won't make it go that slow)
Range: 30-40 miles
Charge time: Less than 10 hours.
-Price: Less than $2500.

Btw, I have done alot of research etc so I'm not just being lazy. I just can't find the right one

Thank you Also, I've heard that X-Treme wasn't that great, so if I can I'd like to stay away from that company.

Thanks again.
BladeGirl:

The Commander SHO sounds good, but how much is it? I couldn't seem to find the price anywhere. I went to the my local dealer in Florida but they do not have the Commander SHO listed as a product. And how would 250lbs affect the range and mph?

Thanks.

Veloteq makes one that meets all of your requirements:

http://veloteq.com/veloteqgallery.com/news.htm
http://veloteq.com/veloteqgallery.com/commuter.htm
http://veloteq.com/veloteqgallery.com/challenger.htm

the Commander SHO has seating large enough
to comfortably carry two people. The Commuter and Challenger could, if the passenger is small and lighter in weight.

They have a top speed of about 27 mph.

I do NOT work for them or a distributor, but I too did a lot of research looking for an electric scooter that could carry two people for under $2000. These all fit the bill, but I wanted one with a top speed of 40 mph. I did get to see them in person and they were pretty neat. If you live in the Boston area, a local dealer where you can go see them is

www.newenglandbikes.com

good luck!

Hi, Im looking for an electric moped or motorcycle capable of at least 45 miles per hour with a decent range. I need to know its some what reliable and under 2.5k would be nice. some kind of brand name version of this: http://www.basestationzero.com/xtreme/xm2000index.php
thanks.
I with I could get exactly that its just I'm worried I can't trust the company. Is there anyone who has purchased that and had luck? I really like it cause how cheap it is and because it can do everything I need in a day plus just a little extra just in case, which is perfect.

It looks interesting. I wish there was some place locally where I could test ride one. It looks very similar to some of the Chinese electric scooters sold on e-bay. They almost always exaggerate the top speeds on these things. I notice that speedometer is marked in km/hr, not miles per hour and the "red zone" starts at 45 km/hr. That only works out to 28 mph, so I would say you would be very unlikely to get it past 35 mph unless you drove it off a cliff. I would be very interested in something like that if the performance was better, but as it is, I would rather ride my bicycle.
