The X-Treme XB-600 is our next installment in our “Don’t be a gAssHat Series,” where we review scooters, bikes and other eco-friendly alternatives to cars, and other gas guzzling modes of popular transportation.
The X-Treme XB 600 is an upgraded version of the X-Treme XB-508 , but this baby has an extra 50 watts of power, a 48 volt – 20 amp battery system, and a more streamlined body for those of you who wish to ride in style.
The XB-600 can be ridden like a regular bike using only pedal power, which is perfect for those days when a little physical excretion is just what the doctor ordered. You can also operate on 100% electric power, or any combination of the two. Either way, you save money by avoiding skyrocketing gas prices, and do your part to help the environment.
The 600 watt motor gets you up to 20 mph for up to 20 miles on a single charge. It puts out plenty of power to take medium sized hills. The X-Treme XB-600 is decked out with nearly all of the same features you find on an electric moped at merely a portion of the cost! Explore the standard feature list, it's very imposing.
But the best thing about owning an electric bike as a major means of transportation, whether it’s to the office or campus, is that while you have to register and hold a driver's license to operate a moped, the XB-600 is classified as an electric bicycle. The "electric bicycle" classification allows you to operate it without registration or a driver's license in most states (please contact the DMV to check the laws in your area before purchase).
The XB-600 electric bike is environmentally friendly, quiet, and very economical. Electric bikes offer commuters a great way to bypass high prices at the pump!
