Retro styling meets technologically advanced
design. The 2007 model 168 features the Gen II Hub Motor. Larger and more
efficient than previous motors, the Gen II quietly powers the 168 with
absolutely zero-emissions.
Electric Power – say goodbye to
the messy gas, oil, plugs, grease and noisy mufflers of petrol engines – say
hello to ultra-clean, smooth power.
Simple and Smart – just plug your
charger into any common 220v outlet, and in a few hours your scooter is fully
charged and ready to go for only pennies a charge.
Outstanding range and practicality
– a 48 volt system delivers up to 45 miles on a single charge and a max speed of
30 mph, ideal for the average commuter.

E V T leader 168: I have had this bike 5
years and use it twice a week. Not long after having it I had a
puncture. It is a major operation to remove the REAR WHEEL. Then we
found out that the plastic is bad quality and easily broken. The rear
brake mechanism is a nightmare to work on even when assisted by 3
lifelong motorcyclists. It has been knocked over 3 times,when parked,by
car drivers and scraped all over. we cannot get a match for the paint.
The chrome or lack of chrome is evident with all the rust on the bike.
Batteries were replaced not long after having the bike, and I would not
risk going more than 25KM.The insurance was £250 when I first had it,
now just under £200. I've ridden motorcycles for 24 years and would not
recommend this model. It was a replacement for a Scootelectric SWAP,
which was also unreliable.

I have had my EVT168
for 6 months now and its brilliant. So simple to use, maintain and ride.
I have done 3000 miles on it so far which has cost me under £13 in
electric! Astonishing. I think it will have paid for itself within 10
months of buying it, after that its completely free transport! The 30mph
top speed is perfect for general commuting and ridden well a 30mile+
range is quite achievable (and I weigh 16 stone!!). I travel everywhere
in silence, comfort and style and for virtually free! A huge Grin.

I have recently
bought an evt 168. Having ridden a Honda 50cc for the last 3 years I can
only say it this has been the best decision I could have made.
It is quiet so I don't wake the neighbours up when I go out early or get
home late. I don't have to worry about the thousands of parts that
need maintenance and oil. The only fluid is the brake oil which is
easily refilled on the handlebar.
After riding the 1st 1,500 miles I can confirm that it has cost me about
£4 per 1,000 miles in electricity (a sales pitch by The Electric
Transport Shop I didn't quite believe). That means it will pay for
itself within a year. So do yourself a favour and buy one, and
laugh all the way to the bank.
