NextGen Battery Scooter - 2000XR Uses Lithium-Ion (VIDEO)
2000XR Uses Lithium-Ion

The 2000XR electric scooter features a lithium-ion battery developed by A123 Systems that is lighter, more powerful and charges quicker than the NiMH batteries that are standard on most electric scooters.

The Roth Motor Company scooter upgrade is targeted as those concerned with the environment, and will to give a little on the speed factor. This scooter travels at a max of 15 miles per hour, “but boasts improved torque, range and hill climbing capabilities over its predecessor,” GizMag reported.

That predecessor is the 2000X MotorBoard electric scooter, another eco-friendly way to get around the urban jungle.

The batteries are low maintenance and can be fully charged in 90 minutes with the included Intelligent Quick Charger. They also have the added benefit of being 4 pounds lighter than their NiMH cousins in the 2000X, and for riders who forget to check the battery meter, or who think they should at least get some exercise, the 2000XR can be kick-scooted thanks to Roth’s patent-pending free-wheeling technology. The 2000XR also has an Ensolite rubber padding system under the wood deck, which Roth is designed for a smoother and more comfortable ride. At 16.5lbs, the portable and foldable unit is light enough to be carried on the subway, train, bus, or into work where it can be unobtrusively stored away. (gizmag)
