which one?

That's not an easy one to solve. Even for an entry level X500 is going to run $399 delivered. How much do you weigh and how big are the hills?

If I were you i would go with the ezip 500. Its on sale right now at ezipusa.com for $299.00. But this particular scooter is not great at really big hills, but it will hold up to 240lbs. If you wanted something a little bit bigger, i would go with a used scooter, from either craigslist, or ebay.

Than that scooter should be perfect for you, and in your price range.

Yes- some people have modded them, however there is no extra space in the battery compartment for more than the stock 24v 10amp. So if you wanted to upgrade to 36 or 48v later on they would have to elsewhere on the scooter. The motor can be upgraded for more wattage. You will want to be careful however that you dont over watt or over amp the batteries, and or the controller. This may also blow the fuse. If I were you and going to upgrade the batteries, i would also upgrade the controller at the same time to whatever wattage you select.

Well the difference would be first and foremost-power. The second is amperage, the 750 runs at 24v 12 amp, where the 500 runs at 24v 10amp. You probably wont notice the difference in amps while riding, however the difference in power is what you will notice. The 750 will have a noticeably more amount of power than the 500, but probably no difference in its ability to climb hills. The other difference is price, for 80 dollars more it is really not worth it. There isn't even more room on the 750 for modding. The speed on both of the products would be the same. They would probably both go just under 20 mph stock. The website says 15mph- but its more like 20-25mph.

I would leave it alone at first, and get used to it. After the batteries die, then i would probably think about getting upgrades, because it would be a waste to throw away new batteries. I would probably upgrade to 36v, and put on a 900 watt motor. I would also upgrade the controller to 36v. Also i would hurry up and order it, right now they have free shipping!!

Good Luck

Well i havent seen to many people do this. Apparently it is kind of difficult. I would suggest just a big chain lock instead.

That sounds kinda pricey, but good, if you want to do that. I think that set up would work, but where are you going to put the 3rd battery??

I don't believe anyone has mentioned that you will also need a 36V charger if you add a third battery.

You can mount additional batteries anywhere that you can secure them. And then just run wires to put in series with the original two batteries.

I might be tempted to just upgrade to 36V and let the 24V motor and controller last as long as they'll last and then replace with something bigger.
