For you new owners, I'm not sure if anyone here would try this, but are your XM-3000 Electric Mopeds from X-Treme capable of doing wheelies, stunts, burnouts, etc?
I'm wanting to understand how much raw power these things have.

Support V is for Voltage
I guess I'd like to know if the electrics can now keep up with gas powered:

I don't get into that kinda riding.. but some in the EV camp do.
On the old V (VisforVoltage.com) Ken Trough had sponsored a couple events he called the anti-gravity rally -- anti-gravity because the event always involved racing uphill over a significant distance. There was two of these events and I have the hemp t-shirts to prove my attendance.
The last of them occurred in April 2004 ..
Scroll down a little ways and you'll find Todd Kollin and Deafscooter both doing burnoffs with their bikes. Extreme wheelies like the video you show weren't done -- and maybe those aren't possible with a vehicle that has a heavy battery pack...?
Since you're asking about the XM-3000... Well, I'm a little confused why you're asking this question because as a seller of these vehicles you should be able to answer the question yourself. I expect though the XM-3000 to be not as extreme as the video you showed, but to be more of a street bike. I haven't seen one of these in person and have no idea how true it is, but the various bikes like this I've looked at were all meant for more average use & performance.

And my answer is 'no'. But I'm wondering if 3000 watts is the 'tipping' point for these, or if there are suggestions for modifications. I've been looking at the XM3500 with the lighter lithium batteries and I'm thinking that won't compete with gas scooters either.
A lot of younger people want to see raw horsepower; burning rubber, speed, wild and crazy stunts done on public streets. I think we all may be too old here. :)

It's cause we like to do wild and crazy stunts on mopeds. I guess.
I'd give it a shot if someone handed me an XM and a good helmet. I probably won't get hurt too badly...

These little gassers outrun a Vectrix on the first 20-30m, too!

The only L33t, xtreme stunt this old codger likes to pull is silently riding past gas stations, especially after a price hike.
Yee Hah!!! That's my favorite too! I always smile at SUV drivers - they need our sympathies right now... ;-)
