How do I compare the various electric motor scooters from various companies?
First, You need to compare price versus power and range. The Chinese scooters retailed by various internet groups usually have a MSRP of $4500 to $4900 for a 3000 to 3500 watt bike with lithium batteries. That bike will have a real speed of about 48 mph (although they advertise 55). This is similar to the slightly more powerful and longer range ZEV4100 which has a $5095 MSRP (before tax credits) In comparison the Vectrix VX-2 has an advertised price of $5,195 for a bike that is advertised to run only 30 mph (18 mph slower than the ZEV3600) In the higher priced models with more performance the Vectrix VX-1 at $10,495, and the VX-1E at $8,495 advertise the same 63 mph speed as the far better value ZEV5100. The ZEV7000 is far faster than any bike made by any other electric vehicle company. The ZEV7000 runs to 80 mph while costing significantly less. You can also compare by Kw or watts. The ZEV5100 for instance would have 5100 watts or 5 Kw. This compares in terms of power to the $10,000 V
