Cheap but good quality electric mopeds?


Electric start
Price: <$1200
Comfortably seated for 2 people
Optional pedals
Headlights, turning signals etc.
Max speed: 20mph. No higher, Florida laws. I’m under 16 >.>
Max range: 30-40 miles.
Max load: 250-300lbs
Charging time: preferably less than 10 hours.

I also need a mile counter, I don’t really know what they’re called, but they, well, count the miles and it’s on the speedometer.

It’d be pretty sweet if it had like some sort of music player built into it :D But not a must :P

I also like the storage in some of the scooters. I know there is a trunk thingie in the back and underseat storage, thats pretty neat :D
I know there are alot of X-Treme scooters that fit, but I have heard way more bad things about X-Treme than good, so if possible.
So yeah, I’ve done like loads of research but can’t find anything goodddd >

 

Well one major problem with your criteria is that you’re not going to get a 30-40 mile range from an electric moped for under $1200.
For example, my first electirc moped cost $1200. It had a 20 mph top speed, and a range of about 15 miles per charge. So that gives you an idea what to expect.

This website has lots of info on electric mopeds, but the closest that fits your criteria is the one I already mentioned.

You’re right to avoid X-Treme scooters though - they have a terrible reputation of breaking and the manufacturer not honoring the warranty.
So unfortunately I’m not aware of any electric mopeds which will meet your criteria. If you could afford $1800, Skeuter brand mopeds would work, except they go over 20 mph.

By the way, a mile counter is an odometer.
Instead of buying one moped, you might want to try buying 2 electric scooters, like these:

No odometer or headlight or turn signal or storage, but they’ll get you going 20 mph for under $400 apiece.
