Not gAssHat

I'm into electric bikes like the X-Treme XB-200Li because I hate gas. Everything about it. The cost. The smell. The pollution caused by it as cars and trucks everywhere spew hydrocarbons out of their tailpipes. Welcome to another installment of 'Don't be a gAssHat'!

And so when I heard X-Treme Scooters is offering a new folding electric bike, the smallest yet, I almost pissed myself I was so happy. The XB-200Li super folding electric bike is a full size bicycle that folds down to a ridiculously small size of only 25” x 31” x 7”. It comes in at only 39.5 lbs. This makes the bike so easy to handle and store that I can easily see it replacing heavier models that are a bit harder to handle.

Here's some good news amidst all the gAsshats we've talked about lately... According to epidemiologist and veterinarian David Waltern-Toews, we may be sitting on the solution to our energy shortages.

"... in Rwanda, the stuff is processed to produce methane for heat and electricity. In Sweden, the world’s first bio-gas train uses energy sourced from a sewage treatment plant. In Nepal and India, cow dung provides energy for more than a million people. Poop collected from a dog park in Cambridge, Mass., produces enough methane to power a street lamp."

Wouldn't you like to put your poop to good use? Hey, it's free gas, right?!

The X-Treme XG-575-DS Speed Gas Scooter is the latest vehicle available from X-Treme’s A-Blaze Signature Series.

Secondly, all vehicles with the A-Blaze stamp of approval are manufactured to meet stringent guidelines. A-Blaze Scooters boast excellent quality of construction and low maintenance costs. 
 
For those who are unfamiliar with the Gas Scooter category, they can best be described as compact, two-wheeled vehicles that are typically favored by teenagers, kids, and adults on the go. They are excellent for short-distance commuting, like running errands or getting to work or school. Their principal draw to most riders seems to be their low level of fuel consumption per mile, relative to more common commuting vehicles. This means that riders get to avoid paying outrageous prices for gas at the pump. 
 
 
This particular model is an improved adaptation of the classic XG-565. The primary update is its Puzey patented 2 speed shifter transmission.
