The X-Treme XB-600 Electric Bike gets the job done and leaves you with enough money to buy some accessories too. I received the X-Treme XB-600 and was impressed with the packaging right away. I assembled the electric bike in no time and was ready to ride it as soon as the batteries charged. Once I rode this bike around the block, I knew that this bike was going to be one of the more comfortable electric bikes that I have ever ridden. The XB-600 is an Electric Bike and not a scooter, so you can ride the XB-600 wherever bicycles are allowed, and you follow the same traffic rules as regular bicycles. I like the storage on the XB-600, as it was sufficient enough to fit a good amount of groceries, or sizeable items. The XB-600's lights and turn signals are very functional and make riding on the street feel a little bit safer, knowing that the cars around you can see you. The power is not exactly "mind boggling", but I had no issues with the accelleration that the XB-600 produced. Overall, this scooter is very functional, affordable, and easy to operate. The price is not that bad either. If you ride a scooter like this to work for a month, it will pay itself off quite quickly in gasoline savings. I took the XB-600 to work for one week and saved over $50 in high priced gasoline, and I had a smile on my face the whole time I was passing traffic on the way to work too.

Pros
-Head and tail light standard
-Front and rear turn signals standard
-Under seat storage
-Rear trunk for added storage
-Good range
-Pedaling increases range greatly
-Electric Bikes are considered Bicycles by law enforcement
-Easy to use controls
-Good braking abilities
-Smooth accelleration helps safety
-Good quality Chinese scooter for the price

Cons
-Plastic body is a little fragile
-A little too heavy to lift comfortably
-One fuse popped when I was riding. Replaced it and it worked fine
-Battery indicator drops quickly when running low on power
