EVT 4000e

2600 m (4400k) and absolutely nothing done except a tire. I keep the batteries charged, which I think has helped the longevity of them. I typically get 20-25m per charge, altho I baby the scooter when I can. Nothing but thumbs up. I'm encouraged by the increasing availability of charging stations.

A negative is the range and speed. I live in a city and drive accordingly, staying off the main roads unless I have to. I feel safer doing so and believe it extends the range. Not for everyone, but great for city use and parking

I got the EVT 4000E with Lithium Batteries to carry on RV rack because with Lithium it is only 220 pounds. Worked great in city traffic, bit range only 22 miles on these batteries. Speed not enough for traffic outside city, So I am upgrading to www.currentmotor.com now.

The EVT came by mail-order from Alien Scooters and I think I was way overcharged at $5094 which is about the price I can get the new 60 mpg 50 mile range Currentmotor.com scooter for now. But at the time that was the best unit on the market. Alien was also terrible on service, as it took over a month to get a receipt from them so I could register it.

It is a great thing, if not broken down. My copy has(unreasonable) high maintenance costs. Within 3 years (12000km)breakdown (and replacement) of batteries (yr2), frontwheel (I used it for home-work transportation.

Total cost aroud 50eurorcent per kilometer (excluding electricity for charging). Ie if I had known this before I would seriously reconsider buying EVT.

I have had nothing but fun with this little bike, It is cost effective if not totally 100% reliable, but I have had far more expensive bikes which are far less reliable! Great bit of kit.

65km @ 45km/h is way too overrated. 35km/h is more realistic (it indicates 40km/h) for a radius of about 50 km. Depends on the terrain.

Smooth, comfy, easy, swift, enjoyable! :-)

In my 3500 miles, I've done NOTHING for maintenance. My first 1 1/2 years I didn't charged the batteries enough. Have had the second set for going on 4 years. I can keep up with traffic at 30+mph, but often choose not to to extend charge. It seems to me that gas drivers are used to quick pick up, and this one will do it, but at huge cost of juice. Gas drivers would realize savings too if they eased from the stop sign instead of flooring it. We see the same thing with Prius people who get better or worse mileage..how you accelerate matters. I love my EVT 4000e, having had four gas scooters, wouldn't go back.

EVT 4000e Power cuts out after very short time. Changed batteries at considerable expense but no better. Runs on stand under no load but soon cuts out when put under load.Very disappointed.

I've had the EVT 4000e scooter for 14 months. Other than an issue with the rear tire loosing pressure (which was corrected by the scooter shop), I've had no problems after about 1400 miles. I keep the batteries charged, avoiding running them down too far. I often do a 35 mile round trip, but stop to recharge for an hour or so, to complete the trip keeping the idiot lights within the 3-4 green light indicators. I really couldn't be happier with the unit. It is limited in its range and speed up hills (certainly an issue here in Seattle), but it's great for getting around. The Lithium ion batteries (which weren't available when I purchased) apparently are a step up. GIve a look.

We had a great time with the EVT 4000e for a month or so until the first charger went bad. Got a replacement which lasted a few months and then it went bad. Couldn't get a third one because the company refused to take responsibility for their defective charger and get this...it's the only one that you can use for the EVT. So now, it looks like we are stuck with a three thousand dollar EVT with no way to charge it. Don't buy this. The word from our dealer, Alien Scooters in Austin, Texas, is that the company has decided to change focus fromt the EVT to a new product and is not keeping up with the parts and service that it promised it's customers per the warranty. If this company does not make it right with me, we will take it to a judge. If you have a similar issue, I'd love to hear from you.

If you use it at night you need the lights on but kill battery life. I get 20 miles out of it but in daylight just over 33 miles as I free wheel it down hill keeping the LEDs in the green at a speed 35 to 50 mph.
