Can you make a better scooter?

In addition to better quality control and better batteries (if possible), I'd like to see:

  • Higher quality plastic parts
  • Better Tires
  • Thicker gauge wire throughout for future upgrades
  • Standardized plugs and connectors - maybe waterproof, MIL-SPEC
  • All lights to be replaced with coloured LEDs, including white LED headlights
  • Better padding on the seats (like the gel insoles for shoes)
  • More choices of colors on the plastic, and/or available in primer grey for painting later
      RoHS compliant designs - Removal of all, or greatly reduced amounts found:
    • Lead (Pb); solder, paints, etc. Use Lead-free solders
    • Cadmium (in paint)
    • Hexavalent Chromium (Cr(VI)) (in paints & plastics)
    • Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers/Biphenyls (PBDE/PBB)
  • Asbestos-free brakes
  • Waterproof all electrical, grease all moving parts - keep in mind that there are places where saltwater is a problem as well as 115 degree temperatures (175 degree pavements).

    I couldn't agree more AF. Those things would greatly improve the products.

    By the way, :-) since you mentioned that you could sell the parts for my XB600...a couple of days ago the small rubber "flap door" that covers my charging port tore along the folding point. I can still use it to cover the port since it has one tube-like part that slides over one of the plug blades...and that holds it on. But sooner or later I'm going to forget to put the thing on since it's not attached anymore and so I'd like to get another one to replace it. Do you think I'd have to buy the entire plug just to get the rubber flap door covering it? Just wondering...

    Any chance you could get me a picture of that piece? I'm not sure if X-Treme would have that, but I'm pretty sure I know where I can find it somewhere else. :)

    ArticFox...this is a pic from xtreme's website...the pics for the XB600...xb-600-socket.jpg

    I just really need the rubber flap "door" but I'll buy the plug too if that's the way it comes...and it's not really expensive.

    Thanks...and just private message me. I tried to do that to you...but I couldn't find a way to put in a pic....so sorry folks I tried to take this private!!!!
