Currie Ezip 900 Electric Scooter
Product Report
This is a review of the
Currie eZip 900 .
This is an adult scooter with a 900W motor,
which is considered very strong in its class. This results in a
15 Mph top speed and a 12 mile range per charge, depending on
the weight of the rider (max 240 pounds). The strong motor also
means it can handle hills easily. It has a strudy chassis, with
a wide, 9" deck to stand on. The scooter has front-disc brakes,
meaning that its the stopping power will be adequate for its
power.
As with most electric scooters in this
class, the eZip 900 has a detachable seat, so you can choose to
convert it into a stand-up scotter at any time.
Consumer Feedback

"We purchased this scooter for our
11 year old son to use in the
neighborhood. The unit was easy to
assemble and get ready to ride. It
has plenty of power to get up and
down the hills in our area. Plus it
is plenty fast." |

"We bought this Scooter for
Christmas and the Throttle was
broken. Took two weeks for the
replacement part. Works fine now,
just irritating to buy a new
product and have it not work." |
