kids electric cars target image
Curious Jo
Hi I work in San Francisco's financial district, so I'm looking to buy a scooter I can use to commute around the city. After while walking can get really tiring. Hence the researching. So what are some good brands/models do you recommend? I'm looking for a study scooter that can fold, and can ride smooth on pavement and uneven urban surfaces. My price range $200 and below. $100 and below even better. Also other then razor, what are other good brands to look into as well. Thank you for your time.

Pros:Great Price no fuel used.
Cons:You can't carry weight over 120 pounds
The Bottom Line: I had a lot of fun with my scooter. I will use it again in a safe park.
I made a purchase last year when it was summer and I was living in the middle of a city. I went to Target and found an Electric Powered Razor E100 Electric Scooter for a little over a hundred. It was a fast purchase but I didn't have a car and this seemed perfect for quick runs to the store. It goes pretty fast around 10mph. The battery lasts for 5 miles or 40 minutes of continuous use and it is easy to get going and to stop. It has a variable speed chain drive and comes with the battery and all the tools needed.
It is recommended for kids 8 and over. It takes 4 hours to charge which I feel is reasonable. It also easily folds up and comes in different colors and styles. You can twist grip the acceleration as to control you're speed easier. I am 25 but I fit the height and weight requirements so as long as I didn't get over 120 pounds I was okay riding it. So it wasn't as efficient for grocery purchases but took me to the ATM or to the bank. To start it up you have to run it over 3 miles an hour and it starts. It definitely is a workout. Don't let anyone tell you that balancing a scooter is a free ride. You use you're balance constantly and to save battery life you can turn it off and on to use. It is good for kids who are supervised. It is dangerous and illegal in some metropolitan areas and also requires frequent air.
It is a lot of fun though if you weigh under 120 and are an adult and a lot of fun for a kid. I would recommend head gear and knee pads however because at 10mph you can get injured if you fall off. Always wear over the ankle shoes because the sides of the Razor are sharp and you can bang you're ankle against it. It is best ridden in parks for recreation. It didn't work quite as well for my purpose of shopping unless I didn't want to carry house keys and a bottle of water. It also helps the environment as it uses no gas.
It is a lot of fun but be careful.

What are the Pro's and Con's to having an electric tank?
Teegan
This kid in my class seems to think that an electric tanks is better than ones that use gas.
Answer
I assume you mean battle tanks such as the Panzer, the Sherman, the T-38.
Is he nuts? Obviously he has not studied real history. Mobile mechanized warfare mobility is absolutely essential, and at any time. An electric car has a hard enough time running for more than one hour weighing in at maybe 2600 pounds before the batteries are added in. How far does he think a vehicle weighing 60 tons will go with enough room for maybe three times that of a car in batteries?
What happens when the batteries die? If you are in that tank, you are called "easy targets." Especially when a long drawn out battle ensues like that at Kursk in WW2. A battery powered tank would be a severe liability, even if well dug in.
Rommel did not lose to Montgomery in North Africa because his extension cords were not long enough, or the sun did not shine long enough- he lost because he became vulnerable by running out further than his support battalions could keep up. Plus Motgomery's men figured out how to make the 2 pounders in their Pershings actually have effect on the German tanks- point blank range targetting. (spitting distance)
So the idea of an electric tank is fanciful- real world technology on the other hand can outrun and outlast a battery powered tank.
The original government RFP for what became the M1 Abrahms originally stipulated the engine must capable of running on any fuel- gasoline, diesel, heating oil, or mix thereof. Chrysler's entry used a turbine. GM used a more conventionaly modified diesel. Battereis are only for starting and excess electric loads- not motion.
