Are
the electric scooters street legal?
Yes, generally electric scooters are legal. By
most standards they will fall under the classification
of bicycles. In certain areas they fall under
a sub category of motorcycles. But given their
speed and power, they in almost all cases do not
require a license to drive. If you follow basic
bicycle laws of your region, wear a helmet and
do not ride your electric scooter on the sidewalk,
and be visible to pedestrian and vehicular traffic
during all ride, then you should be okay. However,
regional or city legislation's may have regulations
that specifically apply to motor scooters. If
you believe that your area may have such regulations,
we suggest that you contact your local law enforcement
agency and your state's Department of Motor Vehicles
for the most up to date and accurate information.
Since scooter laws vary from state to state, you
are solely responsible for determining the legality
of your scooter in your state. We will not issue
any refunds based on claims of unsatisfactory
legal status.

may travel at speeds towards the bottom of the
range indicated. The type of road surface also
affects the speed.
How

pads while riding.
What
is a 4 Stroke Engine?
A 4-stroke engine has one power stroke for every
two revolutions, and is fueled by gas. The scooter
industry started building their scooters with
4-stroke engines because the 2-stroke engine didn't’t
comply with the high emission standards in the
U.S.A.
What
is a 2 Stroke Engine?
A 2-stroke engine is characterized by the fact
that it has one power stroke for every revolution,
or cycle. 2-stroke engines have a high power-to-weight
ratio, which makes them good for lawnmowers and
scooters – maximum power with minimum weight.
Their downside is that they run on a mixture of
gas and oil, which produces heavy exhaust that
is not good for the environment.
What
is the difference between chain-driven and belt-driven
transmission?
Chain-driven transmission is more rugged than
traditional belt-driven transmission, so it can
handle all terrain scooter riding.
Do
I need to mix my own oil and gas to fuel the gas
scooters?
You will need to mix unleaded gasoline and two
cycle oil in the specified ratio for all of our
2-stroke engine products. The scooter will include
an easy to use mixing bottle. The owners manual
will state the mixing ratio which is usually 32:1.
What
kind of maintenance do these gas powered scooters
require?
Some basic maintenance is required. If riding
regularly, it's a good idea to check all the bolts
in the scooter every couple weeks (you can use
the wrench provided in the toolkit if adjusting
is needed). You can also use lock tite on all
of the nuts and bolts to prevent them from loosening.
It's also a good idea to put some chain oil on
the chain about once a month. Also, remember to
always put the correct amount of 2-stroke oil
in with the gas.
What
happens if I receive my scooter and it's damaged
or defective?
All you need to do is contact X-Treme Scooter
manufactures from our support
page and they will take care of the issue
which is why the scooter comes with a warranty.
How
long has X-Treme Scooters been in business?
