Here is what is at the top of my wish list. I have fantasized about getting an electric scooter for the last three years. X-Treme Scooters has a wide range of electric rides from this scooter to this pocket bike. Actually, they have an even more economical scooter, but it only carries 175lbs. It would be great for a smaller person. The more expensive models also travel farther on a charge. The travel range of a deluxe model is 18 miles.
I’m working at home now, but last year I had a 5 mile commute to a Fair Trade coffee shop. I often thought about getting an electric scooter because I was pretty sure the owners would have let me charge it up at work. That would have been sweet. My girlfriend wasn’t too keen on that plan though, because it was still dark in the morning when I left for work.

The site sells gas powered models as well. They tend to have more power and a longer range. I would like to mention that they are a bit loud. Loud enough that using them in city limits in residential areas might not be tolerated. I would ask around to see what the score is before I thought about getting a gas scooter.
