New LiPo4 Battery packs are
now included in all 700Li’s. These new battery
packs now consist of 32 batteries total or 2 packs
of 16 which are all located in the plastic battery
box in the lower part of the scooter under the
foot rest area. The total AMP’s across the
entire pack is 19AMP’s and each of the 2
packs consists of just under 10 AMP’s each
pack. The voltage of each cell is 3.2V. The new
charger we are providing has a 5 AMP output and
is charging the scooters in just 3 to 4 hours
time or less. We are hearing from customers that
the range has been 40 Miles per charge. The life
of the LiPo4 cells will be 7 to 10 years, the
same as our XM-4000Li and XM-5000Li as these cells
are of the same type. LiPo4 cells are very stable,
do not become unstable, contain no heavy metals,
can be disposed of in the regular trash and pose
no environmental hazards. The only down side to
these cells is they are expensive, as with all
Lithium technology, you pay for what you get.
X-Treme's XB-700Li Power Assisted
Electric Bike / Bicycle has a 700 Watt Rear Hub
Motor (Canada models get a 500 watt motor) similar
to our XB-600 model, but instead of lead acid
batteries our (Li) Lithium line uses 32 Lightweight
LiPo4 Lithium batteries as mentioned above. In
addition, this new model is capable of traveling
extensively further than the XB-600 due to the
use of Lightweight Lithium technology as opposed
to the heavy weight lead acid batteries used in
previous models.
With the rising gas prices
these days, Electric modes of transportation are
becoming an ever more popular, and affordable
necessity versus traditional methods. The XB-700Li
is both stylish and inexpensive. Available in
two colors (Blue on Silver and Black on Silver)
Because electric bicycles
have a pedal system (even though they do not need
to be used) there is no need for a drivers license,
it does not have to be registered with the DMV,
and if you follow the bicycle laws you should
be able to ride this bike any place bicycles are
allowed to operate.
Note: The State of New Jersey doesn't recognize
this model as Street Legal without a VIN.
