The Go-Ped I-Ped2 is the latest release from Patmont Motor Works and is the lightest and most powerful portable electric scooter available today. The I-Ped2 is still as small as the original iPed, but the new pneumatic tires and Mad Dog disk brakes give the iPed2 much greater stopping and handling properties. Go-Ped utilized all types of lithium batteries with the I-Ped2 letting the consumer choose between, SLA, LiPo, and LiFe batteries. The I-Ped2 is ideal for those who are commuting a few short trips throughout the day. Iped was originally the most portable electric scooter for adult sized riders available and it still is today even with the inclusion of disk brakes, and pneumatic tires. You can store the Iped2 under most subway, bus, or desk seats easily and you can get some with a small battery tender cable that makes charging on the go easy.

The I-Ped2 from Go-Ped has a 1000+ watt electro–head finned heat sync motor, which absorbs the heat at the motor and dissipates it. With safety features to prevent battery damage and motor damage the 24v DC brush motor is mated to a pulse width modulated advanced computerized variable speed and programmable controller. The controller does all of the work including; maximum speed protection, peak amperage protection, stall protection, motor overheat protection, and low voltage battery protection. Lithium Phosphate, Lithium Polymer, and Sealed Lead Acid batteries are all different so you can get the right one for you. SLA is the heavier, but old-reliable and efficient to replace batteries. The Lithium Phosphate takes longer to charge, but will last for 3-4 times as long as SLA batteries and provide the best value. Lithium Polymer batteries are the available in two different capacities, 8 Amp Hour, and 16 Amp Hour, as well as the ability to take along the portable power cable for longer life and extended ranges on the go.

Weighing in at a mere 28 lbs. the I-Ped2 is essentially a compact Lithium powered ESR1000EX. The disk brakes and the 1000+ watt electric motor really put the I-Ped2 in a world of its own. Pneumatic tires are a huge step up from the harder solid rubber tires used on the predecessor and this also made room for the compact Mad Dog disk brakes. The brakes on the old iPed were just BMX caliper type so they were very well replaced with the disk system. Overall, the I-Ped2 is a vast improvement over what was initially an unbeatable compact and powerful design and then improved upon some more. There is really no other scooter available that can even touch its portability and powerful drive setup.

0 #1 ScooterX Scooters 2011-12-12 11:51 You know, as we manufacturer new scooters and have actually created an electric scooter, I look at this one and it is just awesome. Maybe I should use it as a benchmark for our next design. The 1000 watt motor on a little guy like this is crazy awesome. Quote
