Xootr®
(pronounced "zooter") electric scooters were created
by the award-winning industrial designers of Lunar Design
in Palo Alto, Calif., who teamed with a group of high-performance
vehicle engineers better known for making race cars. Xootr®
wheels are the key to the scooter’s high performance: custom
made for the Xootr® and unavailable on any other product,
Xootr® wheels are made by molding polyurethane onto aluminum
centers, allowing the lowest rolling resistance of any small-wheeled
vehicle. Since low resistance means increased speed and a
smoother ride, you can expect the best ride from Xootr® scooters.
While
most electric scooters weigh up to 65 pounds, the Electric
Xootr® weighs less than 20 pounds and folds to a mere 31”,
making it an ideal mode of short-range transportation for
just about everyone. In addition to being fast, convenient
and portable, electric scooters are an environmentally friendly
alternative to other motorized vehicles: they emit no hazardous
wastes, utilize far less metal and plastic than cars, mopeds
and full-sized scooters, and make minimal demands upon roadway
or parking lot infrastructures.
The
Electric Xootr® is powered by a high-performance 24V brushless
DC motor with nickel metal hydride batteries. While it can
be used as a kick-scooter when not battery powered, a fully
charged battery pack will provide a six-mile scoot, depending
on variable conditions such as rider weight, terrain condition
and desired speed of travel; the maximum speed is a brisk
17 mph with acceleration from 0-12 mph in 5 seconds. Climbs
a 6% grade at 12 mph and a 9% grade at 8 mph; maximum hill
grade is 10%. Controlled by a variable speed throttle with
regenerative braking action; front lever-actuated friction
brake, rear regenerative braking. Ships with an external charger
that fully powers the battery pack in about 75 minutes. Weighs
a mere 19.8 lbs—including battery pack—and folds to 31”. Weight
capacity is 250 lbs. Wear helmet and pads for safety. One-year
manufacturer’s warranty. $799.95.
