x-treme-xmb-400-elite-electric-mobility-scooterThe X-Treme XMB-400 Elite Folding Electric Mobility Scooter is this weeks featured review! My favorite Aunt Millie called me the other day, asking for some advice on getting a new mobility scooter, as she is fast growing too infirm these days to walk around very much. One of her most important criteria was that the scooter be comfortable enough to ride for any length of time, as she loves to window shop down Main Street, especially during the holiday season. Fortunately, as a scooter tester, I was able to find one that fit her needs quite well: X-Treme's new XMB-400.

This lightweight, portable scooter sports a cushy shelf style seat that is fully adjustable, and comes with padded back and arm rests too. And with its beefy two 12 volt, 12 amp batteries, the X-Treme XMB-400 Elite can move you up to 10 miles on a single charge. I knew too that she'd appreciate the front-mounted removable basket, which would be a real aid for easier holiday shopping.

But I wanted more. I wanted to make sure Aunt Millie stays safe while riding around, and that the scooter be portable enough for Uncle Bob to transport and store away for her when it's not needed. Fortunately, the XMB-400 Elite fits that bill quite nicely.

The X-Treme XMB-400 Electric Mobility Scooter's 180 watt electric motor has a top forward speed of 4 mph, and a reverse top speed of 2 mph. Acceleration is smooth, and the automatic braking system engages when you ease off the throttle, bringing you to an easy stop. No jolting or jostling about here.

Able to handle an upgrade of 15 degrees, the XMB-400 electric scooter has solid rubber 2.5” x 8” tires that assure the rider has good traction on both cement and asphalt surfaces. I know that Uncle Bob will appreciate the fact that the scooter comes in at just 97 lbs., and the instant release battery pack can be taken out to save 22 lbs.

Pros:

  • Electric, regenerative-release throttle automatically engages the brakes without needing to use a brake handle
  • Complete street legal everywhere
  • Handles riders up to 265 lbs.
  • Full complement of lights, including headlight, rear backup lights with beeping alert
  • Very comfortable seating which makes longer rides a dream
  • Compact, folds down well for storage and transportation to remote locations

Cons:

  • Basket could be a bit larger, or at least a bit deeper, to hold more items
