Developed for use in the harshest of conditions, e-Moto’s cutting edge Silicon Batteries (8 wired for 48 volts) provide incredible performance while being kind to the environment. Like Lithium batteries, the Silicon battery has no chemical memory and provides full performance throughout the charge capacity and 500- to 1,000-cycles of lifespan. The e-Moto controller uses a German-designed, microprocessor controlled computer that provides an aggressive acceleration profile, while maintaining safe and economical operation. The controller is mounted within a sealed, cast aluminum case, and is internally protected against short and fire. All e-Moto scooters are built by an ISO-9000 certified facility in China.

Although e-Moto scooters have enough power to reach 40 mph or more, the follow the federal DOT guidelines (and various state laws) by electronically limiting the top speed to 28-mph. This limit allows riders to use the scooter on city streets without any special license or endorsement; similar to the rules in place for sub-50cc gas scooters. Competitors scooters that advertise speeds exceeding 28-mph will require riders to have a special license or endorsement to ride legally.

The eGO Cycle 2 is easy to ride like a bicycle, designed to get the job done, and built to last.
The eGO chassis is sculpture in motion. Precision tooled T6000 aircraft-grade aluminum is precisely aligned and TIG welded into an incredibly strong yet arrestingly beautiful monocoque chassis with room inside to hold batteries, electronics, and drive components.

Here's a set of plans for a street legal, affordable, and dependable solar
powered scooter. The PV panels fold in for driving, and out for
charging. Don rides the scooter 5 miles to work each day, and
can fold the panels out for charging the battery while parked at work.
