Scores of professional musicians have known it for years. So have its devotees. Pop music kicks up a lot of pure energy that can raise its dedicated enthusiasts to their feet to dance the night away with an almost reckless abandon. And now there may be some scientific evidence that Pop music can not only stimulate its listeners, it can also provide electricity that can be used to power your household appliances, fire up all your lights, and even power and recharge your computers, tablets and cell phones.
The X-Treme XMB-320 Three Wheel Electric Scooter is this weeks “Don't Be A gAssHat” review of the week!
The first time I saw X-Treme's three wheel electric scooter, the XMB-320, I thought: “Man, this is not your grandpa's scooter!” But truthfully, my grandpa would have just loved to be able to ride this scooter around town. It's light and stylish and is a wonderful alternative to those senior carts, which he would have been embarrassed to ride in.
I took the XMB-320 for a test ride with my grandpa in mind, but soon forgot all about him as I marveled at the sleek construction of the scooter. It's sporty looking and, powered by a 350 watt brushless electric motor, gets you quickly but smoothly up to a 10 mph top speed. The three 12-amp sealed lead acid batteries provide the juice for the engine, and can last up to 20 miles on a single charge, making the XMB-320 an ideal choice for running tasks around town.
The X-Treme XB-210Li Super Folding Electric Bike is this weeks featured “Don't Be A gAssHat” product of the week!
Looking for a good alternative to get around town, run errands and so on? X-Treme has got one for you: the XB-210Li Folding Electric Bike. This baby will have you happy to store your gas guzzler in the garage.
One look at the XB-210Li and you know that X-Treme took a lot of pride in making sure that this model has top of the line components all around. No going on the cheap here.
The lightweight, hand welded aluminum frame looks like it can take a beating and still keep you on the road. The cushy padded seat will make your ass feel very comfortable as you tool around on the XB-210Li. The seat and handlebar height are fully adjustable, so that you can get the right combination dialed in to fit your specific body type, making for a sweet ride.
Are you looking for a powerful, stylish alternative to that gas guzzler you have in the driveway or garage? Look no further, because X-Treme has got you covered with its new three wheeled XMB-420E Elite Electric Mobility Scooter. This is the "Don't Be A gAssHat" review of the week!
The X-Treme XMB-420E electric scooter invites envious glares as you tool down the road. Just one look tells you that this is not your grandma's mobility scooter, oh no! It's got a sporty look about it that reeks of quality and reliability.
The all in one rear end differential is driven by a 400 watt brushless electric engine, which is fed its juice by four sealed lead acid batteries. This makes the XMB-420E fully capable of reaching speeds of up to 12 mph, and with a range of up to 31 miles, you can get all your chores done and still have power left to zip up and down the street, visiting your friends and neighbors.
The XMB-420E has quality, top of the line parts throughout. This is the Bently of mobility scooters, and as such it offers a high tensile strength steel frame with a durable ABS body. Front hydraulic shocks assure you of a smooth ride. The variable speed thumb throttle is easy to work, and when you need to come to a stop, all you have to do is let off on the throttle, and the automatic braking system gets to work, with front and rear drum brakes that bring you to a quick and easy halt.
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?!
