As a man, I love the smell of exhaust and the power that a gas engine gives to your disposal. You can turn the throttle and go from zero to 60-plus miles per hour in a very short amount of time. Zip to work and back or pick up a movie for the kids in no time flat. There just isn’t anything better than a gas scooter, or is there?
With the technological gears of today’s scientists constantly pushing the envelope bringing us more and better all of the time it’s no doubt that they would make an awesome electric powered scooter. One that I’ve come across recently really takes the cake. Meet the X-treme Scooters XM-5000 Li Electric Moped Motorcycle:

The XM-5000Li is the first of its kind street legal electric powered moped / motorcycle running on lightweight high powered Lithium batteries and a 5000 Watt rear hub motor. The XM-5000Li E-Moped is the fastest & lightest e-moped available & because it’s running on 21 small light weight Lithium Ion batteries the:
• driving distances can be up to 85 Miles on a single charge,
• battery life can be 7 to 10 years and
• batteries can be charged up to 2000 times, with proper battery care.

The distribution of the weight is a very important factor since the 21 batteries are small and stored low in the bike to keep the center of weight low to the ground which gives the driver more stability & control. With updated rear hydraulic disc brake hose, the stopping power of the XM-5000Li is both quick and safe. The built in automatic transmission gives this electric motorcycle a top speed of about 60 MPH and it has been personally tested to these speeds. This moped is capable of traveling up to 90 miles on a single charge and therefore does not need to be re-charged daily if the bike is not going to exceed its maximum range.
The automatic transmission means easy operation for all drivers. The balance and weight distribution makes for a very stable electric moped. I think it is actually better to refer to this perfect machine as an electric motorcycle.
The XM-5000 Li Electric Motorcycle is a DOT certified Motor Vehicle. You should always remember that THIS IS NOT A TOY SCOOTER!!! It is likely you will need a drivers or motorcycle license to operate this bike. You should consult with your local DMV for more details for properly licensing this motorcycle where you live.
After seeing an electric scooter like this, it seems like the lines between gas and electric vehicles are becoming more blurred. I think that it is less important to ask which is better, but instead which power system, gas or electric power, aligns with your belief system. I’ve been coming around to the electric side of things lately with easy convenience, reduced cost of fuel and ease of maintenance.
The cost of fuel fluctuates and goes up and down (usually up, unfortunately) and electricity is much cheaper than gasoline. Plus, if you are into the solar or wind power movement you could actually power this electric moped with totally free and renewable energy.
Prices have come down considerably on these e-mopeds over the last couple of years. A few were priced at over $11,000 not that long ago making the price tag on this one seems like a steal! I’d urge you to learn more by going over to check this electric moped/motorcycle out see if electric power fits with what you are looking for.
