The scooter owes its powerful performance to its ESR engine, which is equipped with a robust and well-proven DC brush-type motor with an "Electro Head" finned heat sink. The motor is capable of producing more than 1 horsepower in continuous operation and reaching top speeds of more than 20 miles per hour (in Turbo mode), with thrilling levels of acceleration. The high output also helps the scooter tackle steep hills with ease--a rarity among many electric scooters. The auto-adjusting chain tensioner, meanwhile, incorporates a longer, spring-loaded slot with consistent yet gentle slack elimination to effortlessly stop chain derailments. In the process, the chain adjuster accommodates greater chain "slactitudes" commonly found with various sprocket combinations and changing chain conditions.
From a purely functional perspective, the ESR750EX offers two performance modes and an electronic controller. The rider can choose the Econo mode to go twice as far, half as fast (12 miles per hour), or select the Turbo mode to reach speeds of 20-plus miles per hour. The Turbo mode offers a range of roughly eight miles per charge, while the Econo mode checks in at roughly 12-plus miles. Once you arrive at your destination, simply plug the scooter into any 110-volt or 220-volt household power outlet and its onboard "smart charger" will take over. The ESR750EX is also equipped with a computerized, programmable variable-speed controller. With a wide variety of EPROM (Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory) functions, the controller gives the user the freedom to do not only onboard diagnostics, but also customize performance.
Other features include an aircraft-quality Chromyl frame, a patented cantilevered Chromyl fork, pneumatic 10-inch TT tires, magnesium rims, and a Mad Dog disc braking system. And at only 59 pounds, the ESR750EX still offers the best range-to-weight ratio of any electric scooter in the world. Equipped with a folding frame for easy transport and storage, the ESR750EX measures 48 by 41 by 18 inches (W x H x D) and offers a weight capacity of 400 pounds.

This review is from: Go-Ped ESR750EX Electric Powered City Scooter (Multiple Colors) (Sports) "Is it heavy?""Yes." "Then put it down, it's expensive." Yes, this scooter is heavy. And yeah, it's expensive. But it's worth it. I have a gas model as well, but it's far too noisy to ride at night. I can cruise up and down the street on this at 3 AM, and not bother a soul. The front disc brake is incredibly responsive. I've already had to perform a few "emergency stops," and the brake worked just fine. I weigh 220 lbs, and this scooter doesn't seem to be straining to move or stop me, which I like. Another reviewer mentioned that this scooter seems like something that someone would build in their backyard. I completely disagree with that statement. This has a solid frame, folding handlebars (which allow you to carry the scooter like a suitcase), a motor that will propel you to 20 mph (18 or 19 if you're my weight), mechanical disc brake that actually WORKS, and the throttle has three indicator LEDs to let you know the...Read more 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful: Not For Everyone, By Historic "Guanatos" (Cali, USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Go-Ped ESR750EX Electric Powered City Scooter (Multiple Colors) (Sports) Previous reviewers are correct in describing this product as a fine piece of engineering, but it isn't for everyone.My experienced... In my case, I bought the scooter with the intention to run errands around the neighborhood, but the short range limited what I could do. For example, I could only make one trip to the market before the battery needed recharging, and that's with the addition of only two or three bags of groceries or the equivalent of a full backpack. Once, I tried to do a couple of errands in one day and the scooter left me stranded. The motor heated up too much, the batteries lost their charge, and I had to walk several blocks home. After this experienced I tried commuting with it, but it was too heavy and clumsy to get it on and off the bus to make it practical. It does turn heads, and makes for a nice conversation piece, but now it's mostly used for recreational purposes. In essence, it has become a nice expensive toy. Target...Read more 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful:  Fastest longest lasting electric scooter in its class, By David in the suburbs (LA suburb, CA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Go-Ped ESR750EX Electric Powered City Scooter (Multiple Colors) (Sports) I've had the ESR750EX for about 3 months now. It's my 4th or 5th electric scooter. The 750 goes for me about 6.5+ miles in turbo mode with a 150lb rider. What most specs don't tell you is that they are for the "ideal condition" that is no hills, even terrain, no stopping and starting. It'd probably go 9+ miles in economy. In turbo mode its going 20+ mph which I was pleasantly surprised by.Sealed lead acid batteries (SLA) which the standard ESR750EX has and practically every other scooter are the most common out there and have been. Li-Ion batteries cost hundreds more. A Li-Ion Goped costs double $2000. SLA batteries costing $80 would cost $500 for Li-Ion. They are lighter, hold charges longer but cost more too which is why they aren't on every scooter already. The Goped 750 is pretty light for what you're getting. An Izip 1000 I had was extremely heavy, 85lbs. Long and clumsy and extremely hard to put in the trunk of my car which I only did 2 or 3 times. It was...Read more |
