This week’s installment of our Eco-Friendly Transportation series features the X-Treme XB-700Li.
The XB-700Li is the top quality Electric Bike from X-Treme Scooters. It's an improved adaptation of the X-Treme XB-600 Electric Bike. The upgrades are both impressive and plentiful: an additional 100 watts of power, cutting edge 51.2 volt, 40.0 ah Lithium LiPo4 batteries, and an modernized body style to top it off!
The new Lithium LiPo4 Battery system is small and light compared to the older sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries, and they offer a good deal more range. In contrast to a mere life of 1-3 years for SLA batteries (depending on usage) the life of the 32 Lightweight Lithium LiPo4 batteries is 7-10!
The 700 watt / 1 HP electric motor gets you up to 20 mph for up to 25-35 miles without pedaling. It puts out plenty of power to take medium sized hills and moderate terrain. The XB-700Li can be ridden like a regular bike, operate on electric power alone, or any combination of the two. This is a perfect for folks who wish to use their bikes for either physical activity or commuting. They can choose to opt out of using the electric battery and pedal for fitness, or power up when they are commuting to work or school.
The X-Treme XB-700Li is crammed with nearly all of the features you find on an electric moped at a fraction of the cost! Standard features include, a fully adjustable seat, smart battery charger, dual sport headlight system, tool kit and much more.

Electric Bikes are also commonly referred to as E-Bikes; most are basically bicycles with electric motors used to power them. Mountain bikes are made specifically for off-road terrain, which includes unpaved roads, steep declines and dirt trails. This means these bicycles need to be built tough to withstand a myriad of outdoor obstacles. Mountain Bikes can be classified into four categories: Fully rigid, Hard tail, Soft tail, and Dual or Full Suspension. There are many types of racing competitions that feature these vehicles, most notably Cross-Country (XC) cycling. The XB-300Li is like a two for one!
This bike is perfect for commuters to campus of the workplace. The XB-305Li comes with a 300 watt hub motor that’s powered by cutting-edge, lightweight, lithium ion batteries. You can simply pedal without power for days when you feel like getting in some exercise. You could move by electric power only for days when you just need to get some place. Or simply pedal with power on demand.
