Nice little scooter,
I wanted a scooter to take around town instead of using my gas guzzling car. I had a 49cc scooter, but I sold it and got this instead. Even though it goes half of the speed of the gas scooter, it’s much much quieter (not that it doesn’t make a sound, it does). It was pretty easy to get together and I zipping around in no time. I’m never going back to a gas scooter or bike again.
Advantages:
No pollution
The handlebars fold up and seat comes off very easily, like a Dahon folding bike, for easy storage
Smooth ride
Disadvantages:
Not really powerful. This is for moving around town, not going on long rides.
Range. It goes 12 miles. Which means, going at a constant maximum speed, you’d get almost 50 minutes of use of it.

|Absolutely fantastic!,
I purchased 3 of the e-Zip 750s, unfortunately not from Amazon b/c at the time a competitor had them offered at a better price.
In short – it’s fantastic! I’m 40-ish, and riding this makes me feel like a kid again! Must add that although they are built in China, the build quality is great, it’s very solid and well-constructed. Instructions were clear (with TONS of safety warnings, I’m sure put in by their attorneys due to our over-litigious society), and the scooter’s performance is very good. Only small gripes: I’m about 185#, and I’d wish for about 20-25% more power. Not that it’s underpowered, but going up hills with me onboard definitely slows it down. For lighter riders, it’s not an issue at all. Also, this model has a side-pull front brake only; it’d be safer with front and rear brakes, and ideally disc brakes. But higher models have this, I am sure this was a trade-off made for the price point.
Also forgot to add: the interest and positive reaction these receive from bystanders is amazing! I have some exotic cars, and I think this scooter gets more thumbs-up, smiles, and inquiries! It’s pretty amazing the reaction it gets. Even moreso in Europe, where I brought one for seasonal use. There’s a LOT of interest in the scooter, and I’m surprised Currie doesn’t do more to advertise/demonstrate them; I am sure they could sell a bunch more if more people were made aware just how cool these little scooters are.
In summary: this is a well-built and engineered, fun, and environmentally friendly little means of transport! I find excuses (‘oh, just realized, need to go to the post office again’) to take it out, it’s that fun. Get one, whether you’re a 13-year old or 43, you will love it.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (and I am in no way affiliated with Currie technologies).

|Happily Ever After,
When I purchased these product for my 11 year old son I was a little nervous. He had a Razor E300 that would never hold the charge for long. Then as time progressed it started only holding the charge for literally 5 minutes and then it had to be recharged. This e-Zip is amazing. It was easier to assemble than the razor. It has more power than the razor and the charge holds alot longer. I am very pleased with this product. My son is having a blast! I’ve read some bad reviews about this product before I was going to purchase it, but I’m glad I went with my gut and bought it. I guess I got lucky! GO GREEN!
