Need the manufacturer and model of this scooter identified!

Thanks for that - sorry about the bad link.
Unfortunately only motors up to 200W seem to be available here.
Anyway - you know how it goes... the ebay auction was ending and I got excited... I was able to pick it up for AUD$680.
It's working ok for getting to and from work (about 4km each way) but I'd love that bit extra oomf.

Thanks for the comments and advice. However, I got it a couple of weeks ago and it suits me fine for riding to work. Anyway, for AUD$680 I thought it was pretty good - and you are correct - 200W is the legal max in Australia. I don't even bother putting the pedals on - pretty sure they're just there for legal reasons...

Anyone have any thoughts on manufacturer and source for larger motors which is the info I'm REALLY after! (Of course I won't ride it on the road with the new, larger motor.)

I don't know much but....

It's 48V. It says 200W but I think that this is a typo. It's got to be 2000W doesn't it? When you look at the range and the speed, could it be 200W? Hmmn.

I hope your purchase works out.

That looks alot like a Panterra Fusion. I used to have a couple and they went about 25-27 mph. They were 750 watts.

I would be interested to know if another company picked up thier stuff, sicne they went out of business, and are now producing under a different name.

superbrudd,

The class superbudd is talking about requires no registration, license, etc, in OZ.. It is considered a motorised bicycle and has a legal limit of 200w. This also applies, as you would expect to motorised bicycles. They are limited to 200w.

The scooter shown is a little deceptive until you see them in the flesh.. They are not as big or solid as an xm2000 for example, nor do they need to be really. These are the real version of a MOPED... Well they are if you put the pedals on..

As to the manufacturer.. Your only hope would be to find some kind of marking on the bike and then hit the internet chinese trade portals.. There are a lot that look like that one there.

I just came across this directory: http://www.alibaba.com/catalogs/3405/Electric_Motorcycles.html

I'll let you do the searching in there.

I think the pedals would help in adding start-up torque for getting across an intersection. They certainly would not help for the "top-end."

I've wished for a little more "jump" at the lights. Pedals are an option. I've also thought of a separate boost motor driving a chain with an over-running clutch. Come to think of it, your scoot HAS that chain in place...

I think the pedals are mainly there so it can legally be classified as a bicycle.

They work - and would be a little handy on hills and starting off, except that as the scooter is so wide, it's extremely uncomfortable to pedal. (It also looks very funny!) Also, when the pedals are attached, they get in the way of your legs when you are riding and putting your foot down. If you turn sharply they can catch on the ground too.

I love the idea of setting up a little boost motor driving the chain though! Anyone know of anyone who has done that?

Thanks for the dress up post -- loved it , thx

Hi there,

AFAIK the new e-max is now available in Oz. And Vectrix is also. Look for Mik here
