    Good Points: No maintenance. Very economical to operate. Other than the batteries, very "green".

    Bad Points: None really. I understood I was getting an urban type of transportation.

    General comments: I've had the EVT 4000e scooter for 14 months. Other than an issue with the rear tire loosing pressure (which was corrected by the scooter shop), I've had no problems after about 1400 miles. I keep the batteries charged, avoiding running them down too far. I often do a 35 mile round trip, but stop to recharge for an hour or so, to complete the trip keeping the idiot lights within the 3-4 green light indicators. I really couldn't be happier with the unit. It is limited in its range and speed up hills (certainly an issue here in Seattle), but it's great for getting around. The Lithium ion batteries (which weren't available when I purchased) apparently are a step up. GIve a look.

    We had a great time with the EVT 4000e for a month or so until the first charger went bad. Got a replacement which lasted a few months and then it went bad. Couldn't get a third one because the company refused to take responsibility for their defective charger and get this...it's the only one that you can use for the EVT. So now, it looks like we are stuck with a three thousand dollar EVT with no way to charge it. Don't buy this. The word from our dealer, Alien Scooters in Austin, Texas, is tha ...

    If you use it at night you need the lights on but kill battery life. I get 20 miles out of it but in daylight just over 33 miles as I free wheel it down hill keeping the LEDs in the green at a speed 35 to 50 mph.

    Utterly reliable, no sound, no drive belt have driven it for 10.000 km at virtually no costs. Yes, you need to balance the battery set before using it. We still use the first set of batteries, but have opted for a better charging device. Consistent range 50 km. We are contemplating using Li- Ion batteries, longer range and considerable weight reduction. Pre-delivery check at importer is crucial, balance the batteries and adjust the charger to European conditions and you have a perfect means of ...

    I love my EVT 4000E. Several times a week it takes me up steep hills and along a rough, dirt track to visit my horse. I was determined not to own a car when we moved her to a new yard half way up a Welsh mountain, and this scooter has made it all possible. It is pretty slow up the steep hills (15 mph) but it gets me there and has never let me down. I have done up to 30 miles on one charge. We are seriously thinking of buying a second one. Highly recommended!

    Never could go more than 10 miles on a full charge since the day it was new. I would be happy with a 20 mile range. Upon purchase it had a bad battery. Had to pay shipping to receive a new one. I would not buy the 4000e again nor could I recommend it.

    In California the EVT 4000e is classified as a motorized bicycle, so it's legal to ride in bike lanes and the license plate registration is only $32 (no annual fees). It goes 25-30mph easily with a 260-pound rider along flat terrain and 30-35 in power mode. Low to no maintenance, a comfortable ride, dual disc brakes and easy to operate. I'm very pleased with the EVT 4000e, my 8-mile commute takes the same time as driving a car, and I figure it can pay for itself in 2 years, and it frees up ...

    I'm a UK rider with over 20 years experience of motorcycles. I started at 16 with mopeds, and regularly ride 500cc-plus motorcycles. But I've got to say that, more than any other motorbike, my EVT 4000e has, quite simply, blown me away. I live in a city (Leicester, England), and every day make several journeys of 2-3 miles (to the University campus, the shops and my girlfriend's house). Leaving aside the environmental and cost issues, driving a car is pointless: traffic is usually grid-locked ...

    This EVT 4000e Electric Scooter is a great means of "around town" transportation. Laugh as you pass petrol stations. Don't plan on freeway trips as it is not authorized and wouldn't be safe anyway. There is practically NO maintenance on this vehicle!
