"Free-wheeling" Sharper Image Electric™ X2 Scooter is
fun, fast, quiet, portable — and less than $200!
by Richard Thalheimer
Our Sharper Image Electric™ X2 Scooter is right up there with some of the most
exciting new works of design art and engineering craft I've seen. It has a gorgeous
aluminum body with trim lines; a premium Nickel Metal Hydride battery and peppy motor;
plus cool, chromed polyurethane wheels — all for less than $200.
The "X2" is created by Sharper Image Design — our own product development
group. I'm especially pleased with our "free-wheel" innovation, making the
"X2" as easy to push as many regular kick scooters.
Fun. Fast. Quiet. Portable.
The motor is quiet, trim and compact. Onlookers will wonder how your kick scooter got so
turbo-charged! Step aboard, grip the handlebars and pull up on the variable-speed throttle
— the 5-inch polyurethane wheels glide smoothly along on nearly frictionless
bearings. To stop, just step on the rear-fender brake. To save power, cut off the motor
with a handy switch near the grip.
The "X2" weighs only 15lbs., and the steering column folds down, for
unparalleled portability in an electric scooter. In crowded cities, on campuses, in
suburban communities, this versatile electric vehicle can be the fastest way to go from
Point A to Point B — even out-pacing faster bikes or cars because of the time saved
not parking and locking them in remote locations.
"Free-wheeling" electric!
Other electric scooters are impossible to push. Often, they're simply too heavy, and the
motor drags it down when pushing. Their wheels won't roll freely — so you can't kick
— unless the motor is not just turned off, but actually disengaged, manually. With
competing electric scooters, if you're out of juice, you're out of luck!
In contrast, the "X2" is a kind of "moped" that makes it fun to kick
and use the motor at the same time. The platform sits low to the ground; the trim motor is
well out of the way; it's super-lightweight — it's just so much fun and easy to use.
The combination of your pushing and the drive of the motor feels like scooting "on
the moon" in a gravity-free environment!
"Free-wheeling" is not just fun but also practical: you can go just as far as
you want and, if you use all your power, it's no problem; the X2 pushes as easily as any
other kick scooter. And if you’re not getting enough power (say, going up a hill),
just kick and you'll be fine.
NiMH is best.
The "X2" features a high-energy Nickel Metal Hydride battery. NiMH batteries are
smaller and lighter than comparable lead-acid or Nickel Cadmium (Nice) batteries with the
same power rating. Plus, NiMH batteries are environmentally friendlier. Best of all, a
NiMH battery has no "memory" effect. Other kinds of rechargeable batteries lose
their capacity if charged too frequently before they're fully depleted. In contrast, the
admittedly more — expensive NiMH batteries can be depleted — without any loss of
memory or capacity.
Charges fully in 2 1/2 hours or less, depending on prior discharge; and it will run for
approximately 40 minutes. A plug-in charger is included. Speed and range of 4 1/2 miles
vary with terrain, wind, average speed and rider weight. Delivers optimal performance with
riders up to 150 lbs.
Weighs 15 lbs. and measures 31 1/2" x 6" x 38 1/2"; when folded, it's 34
1/2" x 6" x 9". The steering column adjusts from 33" to 38" high.
Wear helmet and pads for safety. 90-day warranty. Created by Sharper Image Design.
