Zero Emission Motors Unveils Volt Electric Scooter
Zero Emission Motors’ Volt electric scooter
The new Volt electric scooter from Zero Emission Motors (named just like the newly-announced electric car, but unlike the car, available today) is a new electric scooter just released by our friends over at Zero Emission Motors - we got the opportunity to meet Adam Maoz, president of the company, a couple of weeks back at the Kick Gas festival in San Diego, and got to see the Volt in person.
The Volt electric moped is a mid-range electric scooter that straddles the gap between low-power electric scooters (< 1000W) and higher-power, freeway-legal scooters such as the Vectrix.
The Volt electric scooter is driven by a 1500 watt / 48 Volt motor and can propel you at speeds up to 30 mph for up to 30 miles per charge. We like the 1500 Watt motor because it provides enough power to get you up hills without slowing down too much, and will also provide good acceleration when you need it. (UPDATE: Read our Volt electric moped test drive - the Volt’s top speed as tested by me is closer to 40mph, and I weigh about 165 pounds)
Details on the Volt electric scooter
The Volt electric scooter features all the trimmings you would expect from a scooter in this range - mirrors, headlights, taillights, blinkers and brake lights, keyed start, a horn, and an under-seat storage compartment and glove box. An odometer is included to let you know how far you’ve traveled, and a speedometer is also provided. A battery indicator is also provided to let you know how much charge you have left. The battery pack is lead-acid, and takes about 8 hours or so to fully charge using the included battery charger, which you can plug in to any wall outlet. It costs about $0.10 for a full charge, which means $10 of electricity will get you about 3000 miles worth of travel. Try that with gasoline.
The Volt is capable of seating up to two people at a time - its weight limit is 500 lbs. And at $1,495 plus $150 shipping, we think this e-scooter gives a you lot for the price. The Volt electric scooter is available today from authorized retailers.

Besides five ho-hum pictures of scooters, there is no information whatsoever about this company on their website. Cheney would be proud!

I don’t know what you are talking about, when you click on the pictures it takes you to a whole page devoted to each model.
The price’s on these “e scooter bikes” are ridiculous!!! I can get one here in town for 998.00$ without the 150.00$ shipping, AND….it’ll go for 100km per charge and max-out at 32mph. I call bullsh!t on this bike!!! BOO-YAHHH!
Did you compare the wattage? Making it up a hill might be worth the difference in the price.
Here’s a hint: people might just take you seriously if you left out the “boo-yaahs” and unnecessary punctuation.
@Joe: They have a phone number and will answer all your questions if you call. Some companies like to do business in a more personal manner. Agreed, it’s a spare website, but it doesn’t seem like they’re hiding information.
I’ve test-driven this moped, and can back up the 40mph claim. If not heavy (165lbs) so that might have had something to do with it…
