Go the distance with ease and speed when you hop aboard the eZip 500 electric scooter, which features both a deck for standing and a removable seat for comfort on longer rides. The eZip 500 is equipped with a 500-watt DC earth magnet motor and a 24-volt rechargeable battery pack, giving you plenty of power for short commutes to work or trips to a friend’s house. The scooter’s range, meanwhile, extends to 8 miles (depending on the rider weight and terrain), with a top speed of up to 15 miles per hour. And thanks to the folding handlebars, the scooter stores easily in a garage or small apartment. Other details include folding handlebars, 12.5-inch alloy 5-spoke mag wheels with Street Slick tires, a variable speed power system with auto shutoff, and an easy-access plug-and-play battery pack. Designed for ages 13 and older, the eZip 500 offers a weight capacity of 240 pounds.
