This week's installation of out Don't be a gAsshat series features, yet another X-treme Scooter. This time, it's a Gas-Powered Scooter: The X-Treme XG-499 Gas Scooter
Gas Scooters are two or three wheeled gas-powered scooters that are commonly used by teens, active adults and kids. Not too many stand-up 49cc gas scooters exist, especially at such a low price! The X-Treme XG-499 will not dissapoint gas scooter afficionados and enthusiats. It posesses a mighty 49cc two-stroke engine that can reach impressive speeds of up to 30 mph. It also has a range of about 30 miles (at about 115 miles per gallon!) Keep in mind that speed and range specs are maximum ratings under ideal conditions, i.e. light weight rider (relative to carrying capacity), good terrain (solid, flat, smooth & dry), etc. Less than ideal conditions will reduce speed, range and climbing ability.
Aluminum racing dirt bike handle bars, front and rear disk brakes, a compact double welded muffler, and dual bar front shocks are only a few of the awesome features that come par the course with the X-Treme XG-499 gas scooter. The chrome shaded frame is sleek and stylish, it will be sure to turn heads. This model comes with an optional seat kit, which you can install or leave off for stand-up riding. On top of this, a kickstand and a tool kit come standard.
This baby is built tough, too boot. It has a maximum carrying capacity of about 300 lbs!
This X-treme Gas Scooter is ideal for short distance commutes. Use it to bypass traffic and the endless search for parking on your daily work commutes to the office. Zip over to the local school campus quickly, or use it to run errands like getting to the local coffee shop.
For those of you more interested in fun and recreation, these babies are great for racing and having good old-fashioned fun! Gas Scooters have a better fuel economy than more common commuting vehicles, which makes this the perfect choice for those interested in saving at the pump, as well as being kinder to the environment.
