Electric Rides - Frequently Asked Questions

THE CLEAN, GREEN, QUIET MACHINES

How much can I save?

Depending on your use, it is possible to save the entire cost of the machine in the first year of use.
Remember - Electric Rides pay for themselves within one year with daily use. Not paying for gasoline, oil, parts, repairs and the reduced insurance rates for driving your car less all add up to a nice return on your investment.

Can I ride it in any weather?

You can ride the eGO and the XB-500 in any weather, except you cannot submerge them in water. Of coarse, you can’t submerge your car in water either.

Are they safe and legal on the road?

Yes! As you know, thousands of people throughout the U.S. ride bicycles on the roads every day. The electric cycles are much safer than most bikes as they have headlights, taillights, brake lights, and in most cases, turn signals, plus reflectors for additional visibility. Always check with your local authorities.

Are they hard to ride?

No. They are much easier to ride than a bike as the motors and batteries are placed low in the unit giving them a low center of gravity. As a matter of fact they are so well balanced you have to remember to put your foot down when stopping.

It depends on which state you are in. However, we strongly recommend you always wear a helmet.

Can I ride in the bike lane?

Yes. In most states you can legally ride in the bike lane, but you should always check with your local authorities to be safe.

Can I ride in bad weather?

That all depends on how tough you are, if you know how to dress, and how much money you want to save. There are people in Northern Minnesota who ride them to work and on errands year around. If you dress properly it is easy and a lot of fun too.
