I used to own a Zap Bike when I was in college. In memory of my Zap, I would go with the Zapino, but that's just because I was an early adopter 12 years ago when Zap just started. It's my belief Zap must make them better nowadays than they did when they first started.Be sure to be careful, as scooters are not the easiest to ride if it's your first time, and in my humble opinion, the Tesla would be the method of transportation of choice, and the Zapino would just be something fun.

If they have something more enclosed, I'd recommend that as well, but this one seems to match the picture up there. Although electric scooters are not as fast as the Tesla, it certainly is something to enjoy riding on a warm day when you'd like to catch a nice breeze, or when you have a commute that is not far. Filling the gaps between Point A to Point B transportation, ZAP has finally found the middle road.

The new Zapino Electric Scooter is a great link between ZAP's personal transporters and electric cars. Not only economical and non-pollutant, the Zapino Electric Scooter is also powerful with an advanced 3000-watt brushless DC hub motor, perfect for city commuting. Able to reach speeds of about 30 mph, you will be able to keep up with city traffic without contributing to city pollution.

The hub motor in the rear wheel creates more room on-board for additional batteries, greater functionality and performance. This eliminates the need for belts, or chains, resulting in a more enjoyable ride with less vibration and noise, and a smoother acceleration while reducing overall maintenance. Motor: 3000W Super efficient brushless hub motor Max Torque: 120NM/900RPM Max Speed: about 30 mph Range: up to 30 miles each charge* Brake: Rear and front disc Weight Limit: 280 lbs.

Battery: 60V 38AH Batteries Net Weight: 297lbs (includes battery) Optional Upgrade: 60v 40AH Lithium battery; up to 65 mile range Climbing ability: 25% grade with 177lb rider* Intelligent Controller and DBI-digital 3000 peak watts, 60 volts This is the most powerful electric scooter in its class

I suggest the Razor iMod scooter because it is a perfect electric scooter. This Razor iMod electric scooter features a two speaker with an iPod docking station to be able to play your iPod while riding the scooter. It can carry up to 170 lbs of weight and can even be used by kids.

I saw one tonight at Costco that seemed to be really solid. It looked very similar to the picture you posted and had all the necessities - Lights/Turn signals/horn/etc. , but it's not on costco.Com, so ymmv.

Cnet called the vectrix the "tesla" of scooters. So might as well keep it in the family. news.cnet.com/1606-2_3-6185000.html.

If I had to pick an electric scooter between what I saw on the web and the answers I would pick C.K. 's selection for the simple reason that it would be more stable to ride. That may not seem such an important feature but if you can avoid some falls you will appreciate it very much after you have experienced one or more. I met someone who fell many times - mind you it was a used motorcycle and they go a bit faster than scooters I think, and one time their leather jacket prevented them from having to graft some flesh onto the bone as the jacket sleeves completely wore away on the pavement leaving just nasty burns on their skin and maybe saved their life also (yes they were wearing a helmet with a face guard).

Riding bikes was a lifestyle choice for them regardless of the danger as they were a risk taker so they explained, but after that bad accident admitted they would gladly drive a car instead but did not have the money to get one and would rather continue with the risk than stay at home. I met another ex-scooter rider in a rural area who did quit riding a scooter because cars kept forcing them off of the road when they could not keep up with the speed of the cars and they kept falling on the gravel shoulder of the road because it was too uneven to drive on, so it was too dangerous for them to continue. Depends on where you have to drive I guess.

They ended up using public transit instead. On that cheery note - included a link to a store that specializes in safety scooter technical wear as leather may be too hot to wear yearround and other links for accessories like helmets, knee and elbow pads etc. But your local high quality store supporting the scooter/bike market may have more appropriate attire and expertise to recommend what is best for you. Below, the California police seemed very pleased with a particular scooter model so that may be worth checking out.

What about an electric bike instead of /or in addition to a scooter? A bike will fit in a car... a scooter won't. The one illustrated below is an electric assist bike that you power with an assist from electricity so may not regularly go at such high speeds.

Since it's Jason asking, I have to say "You have out-grown scooters my friend. What you need is an electric motorcycle. " In that spirit, I suggest the Zero S that will be unveiled by the end of the month and available later this year.( zeromotorcycles.com/zero-s.php ) Of course the Brammo is pretty sweet looking and is supposed to officially launch this quarter.( enertiabike.com/component/option,com_con... ) Being a Tesla guy though, my numero uno choice for you would be the just revealed Mission One built by ex-Tesla employees and much faster than your pretty Roadster.( http://www.ridemission.com ).

It's not pure electric, but Piaggio recently announced a new hybrid version of their 3-wheeled scooters. WANT.

There are plenty of websites that list many electric scooters and all their merits (a few linked below) so you can see what different websites think of them. After reading them a bit, and looking at pictures, I the Vectrix 2009 VX-1 would be a sound choice (and a stylish one I might add).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
