The Top Ten Things You Should Consider When Buying an Electric Bicycle or Electric Scooter
Notice! Check out our Electric Bikes -N- Scooters Blog. This week a review of the top 10 Electric Skateboards! Electric Bikes -n- Scooters Blog
*************************************************
With gas and oil prices rising on a daily basis, it is only natural to seek out and find an alternative. It has been said that necessity is the mother of invention so I guess that you could say that electric bikes,electric motorized scooters and even electric mopeds are a method of dealing with this problem. Not only are these electric vehicles becoming necessary, but they are a fun alternative and hobby for the enthusiast as well.
Whatever your motive is for wanting an electric bike or an electric scooter, there are a couple of things you should keep in mind as you prepare to buy one. This guide will take you through the various considerations of purchasing one of these electric vehicles in a top ten list that would make David Letterman drool.
Electric Bike and Electric Scooter Consideration #10 - Dealership Electric bikes and scooters are not the cheapest things you can buy even though there are wide ranges of models and prices to consider. I would check out the dealership first to see if they are with the BBB. (Better Business Bureau) You can also get on the Google search engine and check to see if there are any negative comments or articles written about the dealership that you should know about before you buy from them. This is especially important when you are dealing with online companies that are selling e-bikes and e-scooters. If you happen to find a negative comment or two, don't freak out because there are always people that have negative things to say. However, if you see loads of bad comments it may be well advised to skip that company or business.

Electric Bike and Electric Scooter Consideration #9 - Terrain Let's face it, unless you live in Oklahoma or North Dakota where the terrain is really flat, you will need to consider hills and their steepness. If you weigh right around 190 lbs. and you are going to be hitting hills, you will probably need a 300 plus watt electric motor. Just remember, if you weigh more get a higher wattage. If you are going to be riding up hill a lot, you may want to consider the same factor. Electric Bike and
Electric Scooter Consideration # 8 - Climate One thing that you need to remember about electric vehicles, the weather affects the batteries. If you are in a cold climate especially, where it is really cold, there is definitely an effect on a batteries range. The same could also be said about excessive heat. Another thing you have to think about is rain. Most electric motors have a problem with it and the motor can be damaged. However, for a little more money you can purchase an electric motorized bike or scooter that have water proof motors.
Electric Bike and Electric Scooter Consideration # 7 - Weight, Storage and Portability You also need to consider where you will store your electric scooter or electric bicycle. Electric folding bikes and electric folding scooters are great to have because they fold down and you can almost stick some of them into a closet. (If it is big enough!) Also, if you are going to be loading your electric powered vehicle onto a car or a van you will have to consider that weight and size as well.
Electric Bike and Electric Scooter Consideration # 6 - Age that is Recommended Most local laws require that children under the age of 12 should not ride electric motorized scooters or gas ones for that matter! Please adhere to the manufacturers recommended riding age.
Review on Seize Cars Web Site
I felt that it was very important to write an article on this particular site because the title of the site, SeizeCars.com, is kind of a misleading title for the web site.
SeizeCars.com is a misleading title because the company not only deals with cars but with all sorts of vehicles and properties like seized e-bikes and seized e-scooters.
This is basically a site that researches all types of properties that have been confiscated by the U. S. Government and is up for sale.SeizeCars.com not only deals with seized cars but also with all types of vehicles like seized e-scooters and seized e-bikes as well as all other sorts of vehicles and properties that are seized by the United States government. Here is just a brief listing of all types of resources that SeizeCars.com deals with.
* Federal Government Auctions * Seized e-scooters * State Agency Auctions * Local Tax Sales * Local Foreclosure Sales * University Surplus Auctions * Police Seized Property Auctions * Unclaimed Property Auctions * Local Sheriff's Sales * Bankruptcy Auctions * Real Estate Auctions * Farm Auctions * Vehicle, Boat, and Aircraft Auctions * Electronics & Computers Auctions * Auctions of Jewelry, Furniture, *Antiques * Seized e- bikes * Machinery & Equipment Auctions * Auctions of Intangibles (e.g., financial instrument, patents) * Auctions of Horses and Animals * Auctions of Business & Industrial Assets * Sports Memorabilia and Collectibles Auctions * and More!!!
As you can see there are many categories to choose from and there is probably a very good opportunity to purchase a siezed electric bike or electric scooter through this method. The web site itself has a very simple interface to get you started and once you become a member you'll have total access to all the categories listed above.
This is a very simple and easy way of finding all sorts of auctions to deal with seized property from all over America.

All About Electric Motors! Brushless Electric Motors
Brushless DC Electric Hub Motors
Electric Bike Conversion KitsConsidering that there are so many different [kinds] of electric bike conversion kits available today you will definitely have a wide choice. Most of the conversion kits on the market today will have corresponding features and prices.
Brushless Motors
Brushless Direct Current Motors have several advantages over the brushed Direct Current Motors, because they have higher [efficiency] and [stability], a longer lifetime span (because of zero brush erosion), reduced noise, non existing ionizing sparks from the commutator, more [strength], while reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI). With zero windings on the rotor device, these mechanical parts are not subjected to centrifugal forces, and because the electromagnets are attached to the casing, they can are cooled by conduction which requires no airflow inside the [electric motor] for cooling. This means that the [mechanism]'s internal parts are entirely enclosed and protected from dirt and other garbage that can get inside and eventually ruin it . The maximum [power] that can be deal out to a BLDC [motor] is very high, restricted exclusively by heat, which can damage the magnets. The main disadvantage of this type of [mini turbine] is higher cost, which arises from two issues. First, BLDC motors require complex electronic rate controllers to run.
How it all works
In a conventional electric [mini turbine], you will usually find two wires (positive and negative) that connect to specific points in the encasing of the [mechanism], there will be two curved permanent magnets inside the case of the [electric motor], and a spinning shaft with wires wrapped around it that goes down the middle of the [motor] canister. The shaft and the wires together are known as the 'armature' of the [mini turbine], and at one end is where the [mechanism] pinion gear is attached - on the other side is a copper section, this is what is called the 'commutator'.

About Brushless Motors
Brushless Direct Current Motors have several advantages over brushed Direct Current Motors, because they have higher reliability and reliability, a longer lifetime (because of no brush erosion), reduced noise, elimination of ionizing sparks from the commutator, more voltage, while reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI). With no windings on the rotor, they are not subjected to centrifugal forces, and because the electromagnets are attached to the casing, they can be cooled by conduction, requiring no airflow inside the electric motor for cooling. This in turn means that the motor's internals can be entirely enclosed and protected from dirt or other foreign matter. The maximum electric power that can be distribute to a BLDC mechanism is exceptionally high, limited almost exclusively by heat, which can damage the magnets. BLDC's main disadvantage is higher cost, which arises from two issues. First, BLDC motors require complex electronic speed controllers to run. Brushed DC motors can be regulated by a comparatively simple controller, such as a rheostat (variable resistance). Second, many practical uses have not been well developed in the commercial sector. For example, in the RC hobby scene, even commercial brushless motors are often hand-wound while brushed motors use armature coils which can be inexpensively machine-wound.
The basic idea behind of a brushless motor's construction is that it is similar to a brushed electric motor, except everything is 'inside out' and there are no brushes at all. The permanent magnets that would encase around the armature in a regular mini turbine are instead placed around the mechanism shaft, and this assembly is called the rotor. The wire coils are around the inside of the mini turbine can, making several different magnetic poles. In a motor, there are dectors on the rotor that send signals back to the electronic rate or speed control device.

If you want to have fun while running around town doing errands then we may have a welcome relief for you in a newer technology; electric scooters. Scooters became very big during the 1960's and early 70's because of their low cost and gas savings. Even though America went through a gas crisis during the 1970's bigger cars and motorcycles still sold well as Americans craved luxury and engine power over fuel independence.

- WHY SO CHEAP?
Do you know every year, thousands of great bargain opportunities appear and disappear all around without you even knowing it. There are so many bargains! In fact, the person next to you on the freeway could very well be driving a near new car that cost only $550!
Every year thousands of vehicles, are essentially "given away". Why? Some become the property of Uncle Sam through "seizure and surplus" laws. Because of the constant influx of goods and the overwhelming expense to store them, the government must get rid of them fast. This could means dirt-cheap prices for you!
