The eZip 500 Electric Scooter is great for older kids, it’s great for adults – ride it to work, ride it round the golf course instead of hiring a buggy, students ride it around campus! However, I should point out that this scooter is not suitable for young children, it really is designed for those aged 13 and over, although I’m pretty sure that there will be many 9 – 10 years olds zipping around the neighbourhood on these too.
There are a great many adults cutting down on the number of short car journeys they make either whilst on vacation or everyday going to work – they are riding an eZip 500 electric scooter instead! It is better for the environment and saves a whole wad of cash because it actually does not cost a huge amount to keep your battery charged.
This cool looking electric scooter is powered by a 24 volt rechargeable battery and has a 500-watt DC earth magnet motor giving it a maximum speed of 15 MPH. It is possible to travel around 8 miles in total provided the battery is fully charged when you start out. This also depends however, on load it is carrying i.e. the weight of the person riding and the type of terrain you are riding on. The maximum rider weight is 240lbs.
If you have limited storage space owning an eZip 500 electric scooter won’t cause you any problems, because it has folding handle bars and the seat can be removed easily, so, for students living in small flats or to put in the trunk of the car to take on vacation the eZip 500 electric scooter is ideal.
Other features include 12.5 inch alloy 5- spoke MAG wheels which have Street Slick tyres, a variable speed power system with an auto shut-off and a battery pack which is very easy to access.

The eZip 500 electric scooter is very durable and the speed it can achieve is fantastic, however I should point out the fast start may catch first time users by surprise! You will also find it very easy to keep steady and control.
The one main problem which does annoy appears to be that as with pretty much all electric scooters it really is not much good on hills, this of course can be very disappointing for any teen who receives a eZip 500 electric scooter and lives in a less than flat neighbourhood so, it is a point which should be considered before making a purchase. Another little niggle that has come to my attention is a high pitched whining noise made by the scooter, however I am assured that this is greatly reduced by oiling the chain regularly.
One huge advantage is that this scooter has a detachable seat, so for scooting to the corner store you can just stand on the deck and for a longer journey just put the seat in place and enjoy a more comfortable ride!
You will have to assemble your eZip 500 but this procedure I am assured takes little time and is not in the least difficult.
