 The New 2009 XM-5000LI Electric Moped The XM-5000Li is an all-electric moped with a 5,000 watt rear hub motor, but manages to be very lightweight because of it’s lithium-ion batteries (thus the “Li” in the name), coming in at only 216 pounds total weight. Yet this electric moped can carry up to 400 pounds in payload, so two can ride comfortably. The motor is hub-mounted, so there’s no chain or belt, which is normally the highest-maintenance part on electric motor scooters of this type. It also has ABS braking on both wheels and a maximum range of about 85 miles with a top speed of 60mph. Impressive for an electric motor scooter moped. 60 Amp/60 Volt/5000 Watts | Street legal in all 50 States | 6-month motor scooter warranty 2 year battery warranty | 1 year motor waranty Pretty good numbers for something like an electric motor scooter and the 21 batteries on this electric moped are slung low on the frame, offering great stability and a low center of gravity. Since it’s street-legal in all fifty states, this electric moped comes with a VIN number on the frame and a license (MCO) for titling in your state. You’ll most likely need a motorcycle operator’s license to ride it. For practicality, the XM-5000Li electric moped is pretty good on features too. It has a cargo space under the seat that’s about the size of a large sack of groceries and a stable (insulated) kick stand as well. The seat is about 34 inches high and it uses a twist throttle like a motorcycle with an easy-to-read LED dash. The tires are standard moped/motorcycle sized and are easily found after-market for replacement, if needed. The batteries have a 2-year warranty and will likely last 5-7 years under normal use. The XM-5000LI Electric Moped is a great get-around motor scooter with a lot of potential for use in the urban and suburban market. This model rates an "A" for ease-of-use along with it’s little brothers, the XM-3500Li electric moped and the XM-3000 electric moped. Electric Motor Scooters Used for Vacations on a Budget: Family vacations are a tradition as long as memory serves us. But these days, with the price of gasoline that continually fluctuates in price, planning a trip that would not break the bank is important. Deciding the form of the travel is important. Airfare for the whole family would be out of the question for most. Why not travel by renting an RV for the week. Gasoline is going to be high for such a vehicle, but if you consider the cost of the airfare, hotels for overnight stay and the food costs in restaurants, an RV might save you money. No more searching for a restaurant. The refrigerator could be full and ready for all meals. Everyone can eat when they are ready. A barbeque grill stored in the RV could be ready for those evening barbeque meals. RVs have plenty of storage, so you can have room for almost anything you wish to take along. Packing an electric motor scooter or gas powered moped is always a hit. After the RV is parked in your campsite, just fire up the scooters and ride the area in style. A short charge each evening will have a motor scooter ready for fun rides the next day. Most campgrounds have a lot of area in which to ride.
