On one four hour charge, the Xcooter promises a maximum range of 15 miles. The scooter also clocks the fastest top speed of any such vehicle I’m seeing at CES at 17 mph pumping out of the 36 volt, brushless electric motor.
The Xcooter includes a full LCD display with speed and range indicators, a rear disc brake, 10 inch wheels, a front LED headlight and a weight of 41.8 pounds. Unlike early entrants in the scooter market, Xcooter offers some personalization with four colors — pink, black, white and green.
While not yet available, the Xcooter is currently on pre-sale. Buyers can schedule its arrival for $1499 through March 2015. As of April 1, the retail price climbs to the final $1799.
