Electric Urban Transportation. Here’s a great way to get around in an urban environment. I’ve been using this for the past 6 months and it’s great point to point transportation. Not recommend for cruising around. A gasoline powered one would have much better range and speed, but may or may not be legal on sidewalks and such. I use this nearly every day to run errands and get around downtown Austin. The company’s website. www.ezipusa.com

@fudge123er The scooter does not run when it is plugged in. I tried that.
@lpf98 The reason to get the 1,000 is not for top speed. If you are a light rider and don’t ride up hills, then you are right; the 500 and 750 probably go the same speed because they are geared to run the same speed. But if you are heavy and/or ride up hills, you will notice the difference.
@lipthony hers a few things 1: i would recomend getin the 750 or 500 cuase they go the sme speed. 2:idk about the 1000 but the 750 and 500 r foldible. and 3 the water will only be a proble if get nears the battery, cause the weels elavvate the battery so i shd prty much be fine
also most exspensive
hey i about to get a ezip e 750 or e1000 woulld this work if u bought a portable inventer and put it on the scooter could u be able to ride while charging? plz reply
@Aj24767 I ride on the sidewalks all the time in Austin. Only on Congress Ave. and 6th St. have the cops given me any problems.
@lipthony I wouldn’t ride it through a rain storm, but I have ridden it through a puddle. Try to avoid it because it’ll get dirty. The handlebars does fold, but I wouldn’t call it “foldable”. At 50 lbs, it is too heavy to carry with you.
Hello, I’m about to buy this Ezip 1000. I have the following questions: 1. Is it foldable?
2. Have you ever ride by a water puddle?…What happens when there`s some water on the way. The place I live it’s a little rainy. Greetings…Tony
I wanna make sure it is legal to ride it and all that on the sidewalk as a bicycle… i wanna double check because I’m only 10. My mom is really well lets double check… I would do it but idk how to do it.
I don’t mean to act all stupid but idk how to go through all the DMV rules so i wanna make sure its o to ride this anywhere a bicycle can go. I live in California. Sorry if I’m asking too much. I’m only 10
yap yap yap just show us the scooter already yap yap yap
FilmMakerPros the problem with electric is that its battery uncharches really quickly i usually go to parks and stuff for around 3 – 4 hours, i first thought of a sollar scooter, but i dont think thats even out yet lol. on the other hand a gas one has more power plus u said money, i do hv money and no i wont hv to fill it up everyday. 1 tank usually lasts a long time for around 30 km. im thinking of modding it and putting an extra tank, or a bigger tank so iunno.thnx for ur sujjestion
@prokravmaga54 i think u shud get electric cuz u can charge em and u wont have to fill up gass every day and that will waste alot of money also im 13 and im getiing an electric one juist 2 ride it around like u r.
@leoncfu dude i am 15 and live in new york city, i had a goped till some dick stole it and i used to ride past cops all the time and even ask them were i could get gas and they never did anything lol
This electric one is legally a bicycle. You can go anywhere a bicycle can go. The gas ones, I’m not so sure.
I got it fixed at the shop I where I bought it. It wasn’t cheap; something like $40 I think? But in 2 years, I only had 1 flat and they put in a tire liner after that and I haven’t had a flat (rear or front) after that. This is good wherever a bicycle would be good; short distances, high traffic, lack of parking urban areas. Can you charge it at work? I would get a gas scooter (70-100 mpg) if you do any serious commuting.
So you do get flats. Do you fix the REAR flat yourself? How? Or you take it to what shop? Never seen a bicycle shop fix scooters. If a scooter shop, how much to fix a REAR flat? I can fix a flat FRONT tire OK. I live in flat land and I live 6 miles from work and $4.00 gas makes me wanna look into a 1 KW scooter. I’m in a 2nd floor studio apt, no garage and no option for an electric car. Thanks.
The thing goes only 10-12 miles per charge, so it’s pretty hard to get to the middle of nowhere. As for flats, rarely happens and when it did happen, I was always close enough to walk home or just ride really slowly back…
What do you do when you are in the middle of nowhere and you get a flat REAR TIRE?
hey ur vid really helped me, though i hv a question, if im 14 and a half years old, wat would u get, an electric or gas, see im just buying one to ride around, like if i go with my parents to the park, they prob dont allow gas ones, but electric is ok? im guessing please reply on ur opinion
nvm im not getting that..lol
another question-hows it handle going uphill? how much more of the battery life does it cut out doing this consistently, 40%, 50%…?
hey so what about the run time on the scooter, have you measured how many continuous minutes of use you got out of it before it ran dead? also be sure to tell the weight load of you combined with your cargo since that effects runtime. also, distance driven too please.
Dude, if you want to see the scooter running, I have other videos of me or my friend riding the scooter. I did this video review because I was too lazy to type it.
