*UPDATE April 22, 2010: The popular and great-looking XB-508 model has SOLD OUT of the manufacturer's warehouses.

FOR LOCAL PICKUP: We still have a few brand new XB-508 electric moped bikes at our shop in Clearwater, Florida, that are ready-to-ride (assembled, adjusted, charged and road tested). (Clearwater is on the ocean side of Tampa.) Make an apointment today to see this impressive electric moped bicycle. Call 727-230-2324 before these are all gone too!

The XB-508 Sport is one of our most beautifully designed and best selling electric moped bikes and is loaded with nearly all of the same features you will find on our electric motorcycles, yet costs nearly 70% less. The power of the XB-508 electric bicycle comes from its large 550 watt brushless rear hub motor (installed in the center of the rear wheel) that is powered by 4 large high-power 14 AMP batteries that can last 3 years or more & can be re-charged more than 500 times. And when it comes times to replace the batteries in 3 years or so, they are relatively inexpensive and available both from Electric Vehicle Mall as well as major battery outlets.

The XB-508 Sport Electric bike is a smart and quick way to travel without the expense and hassle of fueling and maintaining a car. The XB-508 is a great tool both for commuters or those working on large campuses and will travel 25 miles on a single charge*.

And because it is classified as an electric bike, it can be driven without a driver's license,* and usually no insurance and no DMV registration fees are required.

The XB-508 electric moped bike provides the FREEDOM TO MOVE! At 20 mph, it's enormously faster than walking, more fun than a car, and sure beats waiting for a cab or a bus or a friend to give you a ride. It's super quiet and nearly maintenance free. It's also super economical since it costs less than 1¢ per mile in electricity to drive it. Go where you want, whenever you want! It's also the perfect solution for those who have lost their license due to a DUI or other circumstance.

With the rising gas prices these days, electric bikes are becoming an ever more popular, and affordable alternative mode of transportation.

The XB-508 is classified as a electric bicycle and is legal most everywhere with no license needed to operate*. The XB-508 is loaded with nearly all of the same features you will find on our electric motorcycles, yet the XB-508 is less than half the price. The XB-508 can be ridden without the pedals but, if you want it to qualify as an electric bicycle, they should be installed.

The difference between the XB-508 sport & our XB-502 model is the sportier look, the dual headlight system, the 14 AMP (instead of 12 AMP) batteries & the larger 550 watt motor. For a few dollars more the XB-508 sport model can be yours.

*Federal law HR 727 classifies the XB-508 as an electric bicycle and requires that States treat electric bicycles the same as other bicycles. Accordingly, in most States, your XB-508 can be driven without a State drivers license and, unless restricted by local ordinances, can be ridden any place bicycles are allowed to operate (CLICK HERE for more information on applicable Federal and State laws).

Your choice of red with white accents or blue with white accents!

The XB-508 come with a 90 days manufacturer bumper-to-bumper parts warranty and 12 months battery warranty. An extended 6 months (instead of 90 days) warranty can be purchased for $49.95 during checkout. See our Warranty and Technical Support page.
