Cobra Motor Scooters
When you go to check out the brand selection at any mainstream
motor scooter retailer you will find only the most well known
names, which is, for most consumers, beneficial because then you
know the scooter you are buying is from a reliable company that
can back up their product. Of these well know motor scooter
manufacturers is Cobra, a company that produces and sells all
varieties of motor scooters. The chances are high that you have
seen a Cobra motor scooter at sometime while shopping around.
The Cobra company also manufacturers Vento motor scooters which
are another popularly bought product for the average scooter
driver. The Vento scooters from Cobra are mostly made for
commuter usage around large cities. The designs typically
feature a two passenger style, similar to what many people know
as mopeds. At any motor scooter retailer there is likely to be a
variety of colors on each model, though you may not find the
color and model you want together, but buying online guarantees
that you can get the color and design you prefer.
Cobra scooters also have several models under their name, such
as the Cobra Gas Commuter, which is a fairly new released motor
scooter. At most web sites this scooter sells for just under
$600. The Commuter model is intended for driving through
downtown areas, inner city areas and short distances around
neighborhoods. Because this scooter model was designed to be
used as an alternate vehicle, Cobra included several features
that improve the quality of the ride. One beneficial feature is
the front and rear shock absorbers that help compensate on
slightly rough roads. Maximum speed on the Cobra Commuter is
estimated at 30 mph. A version down of the Cobra Commuter is the
Cobra Gas 2 Stroke. Most of the features are the same, but the
engine is slightly reduced and maximum speed decreases about 5
mph. Though it is a bit smaller version the weight capacity, set
at 385 lbs, can still carry two people.
Cobra also has several models of electric motor scooters, such
as their Strike Pro Electric Scooter. The twist grip variable
speed on this model allows you to go up to 17 mph. Although this
Cobra electric scooter is a traditional standing scooter there
is a special casing that holds and protects the battery and
electric motor. The electric motor on the Cobra is more
efficient that many other brands in that it runs for
approximately 2000 cycles while others are generally at 800
cycles.
One of the newest Cobra motor scooters is their Extreme Cobra
Off-road model. The two stroke engine on this model lets you
speed off-road, but not without the help of the extra wide
wheels. The wheels on the Extreme Cobra measure 38 in. by 15 in.
whereas other street use motor scooters have about 12 in.
wheels. The larger wheels provide a greater surface area where
the scooter is making contact with the ground, and this is
helpful when driving on uneven, rough terrain. The wheels on the
Extreme allow for better balance, traction and steering
capabilities.
