Currie e-Zip E750 Electric Scooter
Product Report
This is a review of the
Currie e-Zip E750 Electric
Scooter .
This is high-end adult scooter for the ages
of 13+, with a mid-level price tag. Thanks to the 750 W motor,
it can reach speeds of 15 MPH, and a reach of 12 Miles per
charge, depending on the weight of the rider. The rather high
top speed requires stopping power, which is handled via front
disc brakes. It is relatively heavy, weighing in at 71 lbs
(32 kg). This scooter is not recommended for children, due to
its weight and power.
It comes with an auto-off feature, which
reduces battery wastage. The seat is detachable, so it can be
quickly converted to a stand-up scooter.

"The zip 750 is a blast! It has
great acceleration. I was
surprised. I wish this one had an
adjustable seat and handle bar, so
my 7 year old could ride this with
better control." |
