Electric Scooters Best Buys: XPort SLX (a.k.a.Pacelite 707 and HCF-707)

How They Work Performance Styles Buying Diagnose & Repair Sell Scooters Yourself E-Scoots & the Law

The XPORT SLX is one of the finest quality scooters available. With the full suspension, it provides a great ride even on bumpy terrain. Although not a speedster at 14 mph, its range is better than most scooters with 24V/10Ah battery packs - around 8 miles. It will climb many of San Francisco's hills with a 160 lb rider. It delivers high quality, reliability and durability in a package that's clearly above the standard.

Feast on the features:

  • Brawny 350 watt motor with rare earth magnets delivers maximum power.
  • Front & rear shock absorbers let the SLX take on any kind of terrain, on road or off.
  • Dual braking system - front V-brake and rear drum brake - stops you quickly and safely.
  • Very stylish mag wheels (no spokes to break) with 12.5" x 1.25" tires and pneumatic tubes.
  • Rear aluminum luggage rack is a perfect mount for saddlebags or a cargo carrier.
  • Front and rear aluminum alloy fenders keep you free and clear of road grime.
  • Custom designed seat gives you plenty of support.
  • Removable seatpost if you prefer to stand while you scoot.
  • Handlebar-mounted LED tells you the state of the battery at all times.
  • Starts from a dead stop - no kick-start needed.
  • Fold-up design for easy portability.
  • Adjustable-height handlebars and kickstand.
  • The SLX pictured above is red, but is presently available in silver only. More colors are coming soon.

Subject: Re: HCF-707 Controller

Getting wet is the only thing I know that has ever caused the HCF-707 controller to fail. I take the XPORT SLX(HCF-707) food shopping. This is about a 5.2 mile trip. I weight 235-240 lbs. I have another 18 lbs of battery on the rack for extra range, and I carry home about 20+ lbs of groceries. The return trip has a short but very steep hill (steeper than the TERIMNATOR - probably a 'real' 15% grade) plus several 3-4 block long serious inclines. The scooter has never cut-off from over heating or drawing too much current.

I did make the XPORT SLX cut-off 'one time' last summer when I took it on a 18 mile trip (only one 2-3 minute stop) carrying a 260 lb load, with the trip ending with a 1.2 mile climb up the TERMINATOR hill (8-10% all up for 1.2 miles). The scooter cut-off near the top and I had to wait about 10 minutes to limp home. The air temperature that day was 95 degrees F!! - Jerome
