Modern Buddy

E-Scooter's top speed:37 like cousin 50cc gas powered scooter.

Bubu's body design is nothing changes. but headlight is a little bit small than gas scooter's headlight..

E-BUBU ELECTRIC SCOOTER

It'll never ever EVER hit the USA.

I like the idea, but the battery powered technology just isnt good enough to the point it could compete with gas powered motors.

I actually posted about this a week ago, you can see videos and pictures of it.

The smaller headlight is actually the original design of the PGO bubu when it came out back then, thats why 2006 buddy's have it. In 2007 genuine and pgo worked together on people's comments about wanting a larger headlight, so they designed it that way. Then PGO started building american styled buddy's for taiwan's own market.

I don't think it'd sell very well here, but I think you're a little too certain. If gas got up to $5/gallon, the government gave big tax credits for buying "an electric vehicle", and employers offered perks for using one (to show "corporate responsibility"), I could see people buying these for in-town commuting. Just because you would never buy it doesn't mean other people wouldn't.

I didnt know that you posted about another thread.. I did screached lists of threads in modern buddy. there is none topic like this.. thats why i created it. if your thread has topic already, then why not this merge within your thread. smile..

my broswer is f**ked up.. so i use different broswer..

anyway....

jfrost2- thank you for clarfiy explain about headlight budu design.

If it hit in usa, I wont buy that electric scooter, because battery will selling as expensive if upgrade battery has powerful than the stock battery.. Plus can't custom or very limit to customize scooter as such boom stero, etc..

What?

eh, there's a bunch of electric scooters here in SC, they ride in the bike lane and piss me off. I think there are about 4 dealers in town, and many tourists like to rent them to get around.

His problem is that you post WAY too much for somebody who doesn't speak basic English. 90% of your posts make absolutely no sense and we don't feel like deciphering your code.

I am thinking I might wash my car today and have a turkey sandwich for lunch.

I am also having a turkey sandwich for lunch, but am thing about taking a nap instead of washing anything.

I was forced to eat a sausage egg & cheese McGriddle for breakfast. Lunch: undecided.

It might be a while before the eBubu makes it over here in some form or another. The USA is addicted to sprawl construction, and as far as I know is the only place in the world that's like that. (Hmm...is Canada? I don't know.) With large distances to cover to get anywhere, the eBubu will need a better battery capacity...something that all electric transportation is frantically working on.

Personally, I would love to see an eBubu over here. I'd be ecstatic to see an electric Buddy that could perform nearly as well as the 125cc. Maybe a top speed of 50mph, range of 60 miles before reduction in performance...something like that would easily shoehorn it's way into competing with my dream motorcycle fund.

Most Canadians live within 5 miles of the US border,* which leads to sprawl, but only in one direction. You can get from the US border to the Canadian wilderness in 10 minutes,* but there's a thin megalopolis running all the way from Windsor to Montreal.**

* I exaggerate a little.
** I don't exaggerate much at all.

As much as I would like to have a slice of swiss I will not. Can not do much cheese anymore since the heart attack.

Though I've not had a heart attack (glad to hear your recovery is going well, by the way) I have to stay away from the cheese too for similar health reasons. Bean burrito for me today. No car washing needed, it's raining every day.

I love a nice bean and cheese. I am going low cal so bean burritos are a special treat.

Well I hate to admit it's an Amy's Kitchen Black Bean Burrito and it IS the entire lunch, so 280 cal. No cheese either. Sodium is way high though. I love the Amy's Kitchen stuff as far as quick easy lunch goes.

I love the Amy's veggie meatloaf. I agree, the sodium is way high.

the video was kind of amusing, the girls were scooting on the sidewalk!

I can't eat the Amy's stuff. This girl that lived down the hall from me in the dorm did... and I would rather die than share a bathroom with her again.

I ate Taco Bell for lunch. In one of the nice, new styled Taco Bells. They keep the A/C at 68, too. So it's a treat in more than one way.

i had my first barbecue chicken pizza today. i may have another.

bean burrito + can't roll windows down(rain) = dead rear seat passenger

First ever!? Then you MUST have another!

I don't know that E-Metro scooter is selling in canada which is the same version from eBubu.

Interesting. Apparently it uses a combination of Pb-acid and Li-ion batteries, with a standard range of 32 miles, and an extended range of 125 miles with an optional set of Li-ion batteries. Max speed is 36mph.

I would love to have an e-BuBu scooter. I joined this forum to comment on and learn more about substantial electric scooters. The pairing of the Li and Pb batteries is synergistic.

"...While the external battery (high energy) is removable and allows you to bring it indoors for easy charging, it is also designed to charge the internal battery (high power). Click the break to see a video of Joe Bowman, President of Ultra Motor explaining how it works.

The internal battery is engineered to deliver higher currents required for acceleration. The combination of the two types of Lithium Ion battery extends the life of the internal battery by 30% while increasing range by 50%."

I'm greatly interested in electric powered vehicles. The primary problem is, where do you store the 25 miles of extension cord?

Wireless, my boy. Wireless.
