My Schwinn S1000 Electric Scooter Saves Gas Money, is Cheap, Easy to
Use & Great For the Environment
If you are an adult who wants to save gas money doing local errands
and short local trips under 10 miles round-trip, you might want to
consider using an electric scooter, a cheap, hassle free , excellent
method of transportation that helps the environment too. I use the
Schwinn Stealth 1000 Electric Scooter (Schwinn S-1000) which is
perfect for me. Licenses are not required in most places for the
Schwinn S-1000 (though I would check locally) and about the only thing
you really need is a helmet and to weigh under 250 pounds.
I am a total klutz and the S-1000 is incredibly easy to use as the
balance is so good and the ride is super comfortable. It took me 1
hour of practice in an empty lot and I've ridden the scooter ever
since, easy as pie. Believe it or not, I prefer to ride in the street
in the bike lanes where the ground is smooth rather then going over
the cracking sidewalks. The scooter goes up to 15 miles per hour and
you can go as far as 15 miles with it till the battery is empty,
though I think 10 miles is a more reasonable expectation. Charging the
battery is super easy as you just use a small charger connected to any
electric outlet in your home and connect it to your scooter. Takes
about 10 seconds to plug in and about 6 hours to charge. The battery
lasts about 6 months, and costs about $125 for a new one and is very
easy to put in requiring no mechanical skills.
What I like about the Schwinn Stealth 1000 Electric Scooter is it's
cheap, around $410 or so - it will probably cost you $50 for a bike
place to put it together, and requires little maintenance primarily
because of its direct drive system. I had an earlier Schwinn Electric
Scooter with a Cable drive system, and the cables kept getting tangled
up and it was costing me $75 a pop to fix. With the Schwinn S-1000,
after about 8 months, I've had no repairs or maintenance charges,
which I attribute to its direct drive system.
I would recommend you get your local bike shop to put a small basket
on the back of the scooter if you do errands because I don't believe
Schwinn Electric Scooters still come with baskets. Most of the time,
because the balance of the Stealth 1000 is so good, I just put any
packages on the front part of the floorboard where they seem to
balance perfectly.
For local travel, the Schwinn Stealth 1000 is the greatest thing since
sliced bread too me.
