The Electric XB-508 (SPORT) Electric Bicycle

Available Options:
Color:


The XB-508 Electric bicycle is the ultimate alternative for commuters that need a quick way to travel but do not want the expense of operating a vehicle or motorcycle. The XB-508 Sport is now our top of the line Electric Bicycle Moped. The XB-508 is classified as an electric bicycle (since pedals can be used) but the pedals do not need to be installed and this allows it to operate like an electric moped motorcycle but you do not need to register it or carry a drivers license to operate it* .
The XB-508 is loaded with nearly all of the same features you will find on our electric motorcycles, yet the XB-508 costs 75% less.
The difference between the XB-508 sport & our XB-500 model is the sport look, the dual headlight system & the large 550 watt motor. For a few dollars more the XB-508 sport model can be yours.
The power of the XB-508 electric bicycle comes from large 550 watt brushless rear hub motor (installed in the center of the rear wheel) that is powered by 4 large high power batteries (14 AMPS each instead of 12 AMPS like the XB-500) that will last 3 years or more & can be re-charged more than 500 times. The electric bicycle will travel 20 - 25 miles on a single charge. *Note If the pedals are installed, they could crank could rub against the plastic as we make these to fit very tight. This is perfectly normal.

* Please check with local and state authorities before riding

Electric Bicycles

Electric bicycles work that same way as ordinary bicycles with the exception that they are fitted with a small electric motor powered by a rechargeable battery. The electric motor helps preserve the cyclist's energy, raise the speed, and makes riding more convenient. Electric bicycles are great boons for people who love the outdoors and want to travel from place to place on a small, non-polluting vehicle. Additionally, riding these bicycles is a brilliant form of exercise.

Mainly, electric bicycles come in two categories- power-assist (pedal activated) and power-on-demand (throttle activated.) In power-assist bicycles, the motor is activated by pedaling. They help you commute long distances easily. They are very popular among students and commuters and are also a great option for people who are trying to improve their physical fitness. In the power-on-demand type, the electric motor is regulated by a handlebar mounted throttle.

Electric bicycles are useful and efficient. Most of them are classified as zero-emission vehicles because their motors do not produce any harmful emission. Usage of electric bicycles in place of conventional automobiles lessens traffic problems in cities. These are calm and they help reduce sound pollution caused by automobiles. Furthermore, recharging of the batteries take only a few hours and is less expensive.

In recent years, electric bicycles have received a great deal of media attraction. The price, registration fees, and insurance are lower than other bicycles. Solar charged electric bicycles are also very popular these days. NYCewheels, Giant, eZeebike and LashOut are among the most reputed retailers of electric bicycles.

How to Fit Electric Bikes into Your Lifestyle

An electric bike is an outstanding alternative to more conventional means of transportation. If you live or work in a densely populated area and have to frequently travel relatively short distances, if you want to do your part to reduce the emission of greenhouse gasses and reduce global warming, or if you simply enjoy being outdoors, owning an electric bike can serve your needs. Advantages of Owning an Electric Bicycle Electric powered bikes are an easy way to maneuver around in crowded areas. With an electric bicycle, sitting in traffic jams will become a distant memory; you will have access to routes that cars and motorcycles cannot reach. Thus, whether you're running errands or dashing off for a work meeting, an electric bike saves you time. Beyond convenience, you'll also accumulate significant financial savings since you don't have to pay for gasoline, car maintenance, and insurance. An electric bike is ideal for the person who has either lost their driver's license or has no license, as it provides a reliable means of transportation without the licensing requirements. However, it's the electric bike's environmental friendliness that appeals to many electric motor bike owners. CO2 emissions are a source of concern to everyone, and an electric bike significantly reduces your personal carbon footprint. Electric Motor Bike for Exercising If you bicycle for exercise, you can be assured that an electric bicycle allows you to pedal, but with little effort. You can climb hills more easily and travel a longer distance than with a conventional bicycle. When compared to a stationary bicycle, an electric bike will still allow you to achieve your fitness goals, but provide the added benefits of feeling invigorated from riding in the fresh air and strengthening your muscles without making them ache. Electric Bicycles for Work Using your electric bike for commuting back and forth to work helps clear your mind and makes you feel good all day. When you ride your electric bike to work, you don't have to worry about the excess perspiration, which can be an issue with a conventional bike on warm days. You move faster on the electric bike, which increases wind chill, thus keeping you cool. When the weather is hot, you maintain a normal speed by letting the electric motor take over. In cold weather, you can turn the motor off. Once you arrive at work, you have a few minutes to relax because of the time saved by not having to ride the bus or go through the hassle of searching for a parking space. Electric Bikes are Great for Any Lifestyle Electric bikes give adults of all ages a sense of freedom. They are appropriate for people of all fitness levels, and electric bicycles take the hassle out of traveling in densely populated areas. Moreover, riding an electric bike is great for the environment and easy on the conscience. So, choose an electric bike to fit your lifestyle, and enjoy yourself!
