The Go-Ped ESR-1000 EX extended range has arrived and it is definitely something to write home about. Go-Ped experimented with SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) batteries, Lithium Ion battery packs, and now finally the most affordable and longest lasting batteries available have made their way into the battery compartment of the classic ESR750 chassis. The Go-Ped designers reached out and tried a new battery technology for this new release and it turned out to be the best bargain coupled with the longest range available today.
The new ESR-1000 EX has the “EX” at the end of its name because the manufacturer utilized a new battery technology called LiFePo4 (Lithium Phosphate Polymer) batteries and they are super efficient and capable of extended ranges over the previous models of ESR scooters. The first initial SLA batteries are inexpensive and did not produce very much range or longevity over time. The second batteries used are the extremely expensive Lithium Ion (Li-ion) batteries that are very efficient, small, yet high priced and expensive to replace. Enter the newest LiFePo4 battery packs. These new batteries allow the ESR-1000 EX to go farther than the base model of ESR1000, because the new batteries are small and compact making it possible to fit more batteries in the battery compartment. This scooter has double the batteries of the standard unit, so this means it will go twice as far as the previous model. This extended range is where the scooter really shines. The price difference between the ESR750, and the ESR1000EX is just a few hundred dollars, but this extra cost will essentially get you a more capable scooter for a slight price increase. The difference between the Lithium Ion ESR’s and the LiFePo4 ESR-1000 EX is only a matter of a few hours charge time, but the price difference is exponentially greater. This is why the ESR1000 is a no brainer.

Nothing on the chassis has changed, so this ESR-1000 EX is the same great scooter that Go-Ped has always produced. The chromoly mandrel bent and powder coated frame is still as great as ever, only now the rider can hang out for twice as long as you used to be able to thanks to the newest battery technology available on the ESR-1000EX. Only a few hundred dollars more than the ESR750 with SLA batteries, and about a thousand dollars difference between the Lithium Ion models, the ESR-1000 EX is the most capable and longest range Go-Ped to hit the market in years. Delivering high performance and a low cost, the Go-ped ESR1000EX is the only way to go.Pros:
