The TRX Personal Transporter E1050 Electric Scooter is a demon and this weeks “Don't Be a gAssHat” review! This sweet ride has captured this reviewer's heart with its blazing speed capability along with its superior handling and sporty style. It's an ideal choice for security personnel and warehouse workers who need to zip around busy floors with ease and comfort. But it can easily be used by casual riders seeking a bit of fun too, as the scooter is capable of doing all kinds of tricks.
Stability and safety are the names of the game with the TRX Personal Transporter. It has been designed to overcome the shortcomings of the original Segway. It offers a third wheel, is much less expensive and nowhere near as heavy. With the two high quality 8” pneumatic street tires in the rear, assisted by a 125mm urethane rear wheel, and the 15” pneumatic tire in front, the TRX E1050 can easily allow the rider to not only move along at a decent yet safe clip, but it can easily do sustained wheelies and perform other great scooter tricks as well.
In all, the TRX E1050 comes in at less than 1/10th the cost and a fraction of the weight of a traditional Segway, this makes purchasing this nifty scooter a real no-brainer. You can't go wrong at the wheel of a TRX .
The TRX Personal Transporter is powered by powerful twin 150 watt electric motors that pack a 300 watt total wallop that can propel the rider forward at up to 12 mph. The engines are fed by three 12 volt sealed lead acid batteries which provide the rider a 15 mile range, controlled by handlebar mounted twist throttle. When needed, recharge time is just 4-8 hours.
Stopping is a charm on the TRX E1050, due to the high quality front drum braking system. Steering is safe and ultra responsive due to the high quality, lightweight chromed aluminum handlebars that can turn you on a dime. The rider's comfort is kept in mind too, putting in an extra wide standing platform that can take a 200 lb. rider with ease.
Coming in at just 63 lbs., this electric scooter is a dream to transport and store. The 20” billet handlebars fold and lock down with a light touch. The sporty ABS plastic body is not only attractive, but is durable as hell, and can take a beating and ask for more. The frame, made of high quality steel, is a beast that won't take no for an answer.
